This leaves the default Locale unchanged, i.e. Locale.setDefault(). This
also will immediately change the language after the user selects it in the
pref.
The recommended way to send a START_TOR Intent is using
startActivityWithResult() so that the sender knows when Tor is actually
started. The return includes an Intent that can also include the config
info for the proxies that Orbot runs. Right now, this is based on the
app defaults, but ultimately, it should dynamically get the port numbers
for cases like Samsung devices where there is a port conflict.
The Languages utility class merges the techniques from ChatSecure and
Courier. It fetches the supported locales from the APK itself, and fetches
the native names of the languages from the system.
There are a couple of different times when Orbot will be unable to kill the
running processes. One example is when Orbot is running, then uninstalled,
then installed again.

Since most people using devices without Google Play will be in China, where
Google is generally blocked, instead direct people to f-droid.org unless
they have Google Play installed.
This automatically detects whether Google Play or FDroid is installed, if
so, clicking the promo app button will take the user straight to the
install page. If neither is installed, then the user is taken to the page
for that app on https://f-droid.org
- If you paste bridge addresses from Gmail, you get some strange
characters that were causing problems. This looks for that, and
other formatting related gotchas.
- This also moves all configuratino to the torrc.custom file
instead of using the control port. These changes require you to
restart anyhow, and using the torrc.custom is more reliable as it
affects the tor process on launch, and not post control port interaction.
We now refresh the VPN and tun2socks interfaces when the network
type switches, and we do so in a way that does not cause traffic to leak.
The new interface is established before we close the old one.
for users in censored/filtered locations to send an email than to
access *.torproject.org through their browser. Also, even if they
can connect, the browser UI is not great.
You can use Bridges with VPN "App Mode" proxying
On Pre-Lollipop this uses a local loop back SOCKS server to flag outbound sockets as not for the VPN network
On Lollipop+ this uses the "disallow app" feature to set anything in the Orbot process to not be sent through the VPN
- shouldn't set proxy prefs for Orweb as it conflicts with Orbot's own pref keys
- improve parsing of incoming bridge URLs, as they may not have protocol component in URI
- format strings of up/down values better
this is needed for sharing of bridge data between people in the
same physical space, or by easily sharing it through chat or other
private messaging system
