If you launch the Tor Browser on Android and don't hit the "connect" button you get a permanent notification that says _"Orbot is starting"_ and the only way to get rid of it is to connect to tor and then exit the whole thing via the Firefox menu.
There should be a quick way to exit the app without connecting to tor and launching Firefox, that's it.

1) I open orbot, the "start screen" loads fine. It shows the unconnected start-state. The background makes this nice pulsing animation
2) I want to start the service, tap "start"/logo.
3) App crashes. It just disappears the second I click start.
4) I then reopen the app, still it is unconnected of course. I enable the VPN slider. The app instantly crashes (again). Even worse, when I now start it again, it crashes (does not show the start screen anymore, either).

if I reinstall I can get one session, once I close and reopen orbort the above happens again.

Generally they get along well, since they have different SOCKS and HTTP ports, and android sets up two VPN configurations. As such, I do not see issues with public web traffic. However routing to hidden services only works on one orbot at a time, usually the primary profile. On the other profile, usually work, I get the following tor log line and connection failure within a VPNed app:
WARN: Missing mapping for virtual address [SCRUBBED]. Refusing.
This appears to be caused by the app from the work profile resolving the .onion domain against the personal orbot's DNSPort. I am able to reproduce the failure in the profile of my choosing by setting that orbot to use DNSPort 5401, and the other orbot to use 5400 (the default value). This does not appear to be a hardcoded port issue though, because if 5401 and 5402 are set, one of the two orbots wins and can route .onion addresses while the other still cannot.

Currently the VPN switch and the main switch are mostly independent entities, with the exception of switching on the VPN automatically activates the main switch. While the automatic activation might be useful, it's simpler and less confusing for the VPN switch to act just as a configuration toggle, where it only takes effect when the main switch is on. It might be technically not the case if tor operates independently, but it would probably be a regular user's expectation if they use the Orbot as a standalone vpn (read: censorship circumvent) app.
ps. I can only come up with using it as a kill-switch to justify the current behaviour, but Android now provides Always On VPN so advanced users should be able to use that.Nathan FreitasNathan Freitas
