I have installed Orbot 0.2.3.10 from www.torproject.org.

Check indicates: Sorry. You are not using Tor.
The transparent proxy do not work for me. (Always DISABLED)
What is wrong?
P.S. I was using Orbot on the same device with Cyanogenmod-7.1, and it was working properly with transparent proxying. After installing the Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-crespo rom the problem appeared.
Thanks a lot.

However, you might want to enable as a default ACTIVE if on WiFi. That way everybody who downloads it can help when on WiFi and not while on a limited mobile phone plan.
Or for those who have limited data plans, they can set the Relay to be on when WiFi is detected.
And if On when WiFi is detected, the phones can also serve as your Exit points.

So, the relay functionality you said was broken and needs to be fixed for 'orbot' on smartphones.
I checked with the orbot version '0.2.3.10-alpha-orbot-1.0.7-FINAL' and you have checked with the 'dev branch of the code' as you said (i suppose that means you have checked with latest version of code by compiling and running the latest updated version from git; i will do it too and let you know again). But none seemed to work. In fact, you said you were getting a more significant crash, when you enabled relaying on smartphone for dev branch of code.
You also thought if the problem is: whether the Relay conflict is with transproxying/root or with Tor client connection in general. But, i'm not sure if it later seemed not to be the problem.
Then, you told me to change the torrc file on my android phone, as you said that orbot is not setting the relay values properly which might be the reason for orbot not working as a relay on smartphone.
So, I will do that and let you know about it. I will also keep checking 'https://guardianproject.info/builds/Orbot/' to see if any new dev/debug release is posted.
Thankyou so very much for all your help, Mr.Nathan.

Orbot users will want to not retype them into their puny phone keyboards.
See the ‘`libzbar`’ package for a QR-code decoder under the LGPL. See ‘`libqrencode`’ for a QR-code encoder under the LGPL. Neither of these can currently handle binary strings containing NULs (you don't want to be parsing/repacking bridge lines anyway, but you need to know about that bug before you use the QR-code hammer to pound e.g. OTR/GPG fingerprints, BitTorrent info hashes, or Curve25519/Ed25519 public keys).
Also, if you interact with a QR-code decoder through e.g. XML, don't get [bobbytabled](https://xkcd.com/327/).

Iptables chains stay untouched.
This is a big problem when using iptables based firewalls like "DroidWall" or "LBE Privacy Guard".
Example 1:
A internet access blocked application (a game, google location service, etc.) gets unblocked as soon as Orbot connects/disconnects to Tor.
Example 2:
A application should just be able to communicate through Tor. iptables related firewall blocks it. But Orbot's transparency proxy should allow it.
This still occures on the latest RC build:
"Orbot-1.0.6-Tor-0.2.3.7-alpha-RC3"

For examples, please see http://pastebin.com/Z4KDDq40. These connections completely bypass transproxy.
I am not yet sure about the circumstances under which Android employs these addresses.
The problems in finding a solution are that Android usually does not include ip6tables (though Orbot could simply package that) and kernels do usually not include IPv6 netfilter modules. The latter is a major issue, since Orbot can't package modules for every single kernel a user might be running.
As a side note, IPv6 does not support NAT (which is what transproxying is based on).
I'll try to figure out what triggers this behaviour of Android and find possible solutions (using sysctl to disable IPv6 does not solve it).

Apparently SE pulled it from the 2.1 build due to a risk of processor overheating. When you put it back you get a performance increase of 50% based on benchmarks, with the slight cost that when the processor is maxed out it sometimes casues a reboot, although i dont think that was the issue here. Not had a problem with overheating yet, but got safeguards in place.
Went into settings (note given previous problems I had disabled start on boot, might be worth making this default initially?) and enabled logs, attatched to this email.
