...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/4997Orbot doesnt works on 2.3.4 (Galaxy SII)2013-01-11T12:03:05ZTracOrbot doesnt works on 2.3.4 (Galaxy SII)Hello,

- Galaxy S2
- 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.

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.

Last reproduced on Orbot-1.0.5.2 on CM-7.05132011-NIGHTLY-N1
When the screen orientation changes while the configuration wizard is active, the user gets dropped into the Orbot main activity screen. There seems to be no way to resume the wizard. This does not seem to impair any of Orbot's functions.
I observed the same issue with other pop-up activities like the first Tor connection confirmation.

ROM: CM 7.0.2-DesireHD
Side note: Should bugs like this posted on guardian-dev instead?
The ORBot status box (in the center of the screen, should probably contain status messages regarding connection establishment) remains black, only containing the white "ring" animation. Meanwhile, the Android in the background remains yellow.
This remains constant - even if the connection is already established and transproxying enabled - until the screen is re-drawn (e.g. by unlocking the screen after the blanking timeout or by selecting any of the ORBot notificiations), at which point the expected UI state is established (green Android, no status box, "Connected to Tor").
Expected behaviour is of course that the "connected" UI state is displayed as soon as ORBot has finished connection setup.

It seems like ORBot fails to unzip the tor binary to the data directory, as it is too large to fit in the dedicated memory for that operation (...or so Google tells me).
Additionally (not sure if that should be a second bug), ORBot still declares the operation successful, even though it is caught by the exception handler. This, of course, leads to ORBot trying (and failing) to start afterwards, constantly receiving -1 as the pid (if you want to detect unrecoverable situations, that _might_ be one approach - keep in mind that I haven't read the corresponding code, maybe ORBot is already doing that).
