I posted the best and RC builds to our FDroid repo, so testers can also get them there.
It seems to be working OK, I can't say definitely yet whether this version has fixed my issues with the HTTP Proxy being dead whenever I wake/unlock the device after its been unused for a while. Another important bug is still present: on first time install, the START Intent is not starting Orbot. Fixing this is essential to providing a good experience for new users. Once this is fixed, then we can make lots of apps have a "Use Tor" switch preference that will install and start Tor for people who do not have it installed. .hc VanitasVitae: > Hi! > Thanks for the update.
