The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a user-facing checkbox that lets mobile users choose to route the app's Tor traffic through the separate Orbot/InviZible app instead of a manually entered proxy port. It also changes the default external Tor port from 9150 to 9050 and makes a hardcoded error message translatable. There is no obvious security vulnerability in the diff; it is a feature/configuration improvement.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. As a defensive review, verify that the actual proxy connection code (`getProxy()` and downstream SOCKS HTTP usage) correctly consumes the `useOrbot` setting and does not silently fall back to a different proxy when Orbot is unreachable. Also confirm that port 9050 is only used in external mode and does not conflict with built-in Tor.
