...When you export a the localized strings.xml files from Transifex, untranslated strings are included as empty string resources.
As an example, in the default english strings you might have:
<string name="menu_start">Start Tor</string>
and then in another language, say Spanish, if that string is not translated in the transifex UI, you would have:
<string name="menu_start"></string>
By exporting an empty string resource, Android will use that empty string in the user interface, instead of gracefully degrading to the default english value.
This currently means we can only include translations from Transifex that are 100% complete, which is not what we have done in the past via pootle.Nathan FreitasNathan Freitashttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/5096Support transferring bridge addresses in QR codes2020-06-13T03:02:59ZRobert RansomSupport transferring bridge addresses in QR codesAt some point (maybe in days, maybe in weeks), we will start distributing bridge addresses which contain multiple 80-bit-or-longer base32-encoded ‘cryptovariables’ (I don't know any other appropriate general term for them).

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/).

- XXKI4-based ROM (CheckRom RevoHD 2.0)
=> Android 2.3.5
- Siyah-Kernel 2.2b4
As the iptables-binary of e.g. Droidwall works perfectly well, it might be a linking problem.
Replacing Orbots iptables-binary with the one from Droidwall enables all expected functions (transparent proxying etc.).
Stacktrace is attached. I called "iptablesorig --list" (renamed the binary) manually from a terminal to provide this information.

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"

One such app is Firefox + the Proxy plugin. I am running on an ASUS Transformer Honeycomb 3.2 and having used the PDA tablet app, knew there was a way to set up a proxy port forward in the OS itself.
A Moto XOOM forum post pointed me to an app called "AnyCut" which lets you make a desktop widget for almost any system component or app. One of the components is "Proxy Settings". Thus:
1. Run Orbot
2. Run "Proxy Settings". Fill in the form to point to 127.0.0.1:8118
3. Stock web browser will automatically use this proxy.
Interested in helping with research on this.

Here are some major fixes since then that your users might like:
```
- Use the same circuit timeout for client-side introduction
circuits as for other four-hop circuits, rather than the timeout
for single-hop directory-fetch circuits; the shorter timeout may
have been appropriate with the static circuit build timeout in
0.2.1.x and earlier, but caused many hidden service access attempts
to fail with the adaptive CBT introduced in 0.2.2.2-alpha. Bugfix
on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes another part of bug 1297.
- In ticket 2511 we fixed a case where you could use an unconfigured
bridge if you had configured it as a bridge the last time you ran
Tor. Now fix another edge case: if you had configured it as a bridge
but then switched to a different bridge via the controller, you
would still be willing to use the old one. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha;
fixes bug 3321.
- When the controller configures a new bridge, don't wait 10 to 60
seconds before trying to fetch its descriptor. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes bug 3198 (suggested by 2355).
- Replace all potentially sensitive memory comparison operations
with versions whose runtime does not depend on the data being
compared. This will help resist a class of attacks where an
adversary can use variations in timing information to learn
sensitive data. Fix for one case of bug 3122. (Safe memcmp
implementation by Robert Ransom based partially on code by DJB.)
- When receiving a hidden service descriptor, check that it is for
the hidden service we wanted. Previously, Tor would store any
hidden service descriptors that a directory gave it, whether it
wanted them or not. This wouldn't have let an attacker impersonate
a hidden service, but it did let directories pre-seed a client
with descriptors that it didn't want. Bugfix on 0.0.6.

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).
