Comment (by sisbell):

 Evaluation:

  1. Tor Installation: Tor Onion Proxy library is using tor-android-binary
 - Who is going to install the tor binary? Orbot or Tor Onion Proxy Libray.
 If orbot installs, we will need to configure the onion proxy to use those
 locations for tor files/libraries.
  1. Settings Screen: there is no settings screen: configure ports,
 delete/add onion addresses [these features need to be defined]
  1. Starting Proxy: This is a simple operation to start but we need to
 display the startup logs to the user. We also need to define UI to handle
 things like restart or shutdown.
  1. Stability: Its workable for an alpha, but we should cleanup up the
 threading and socket connections

 In summary: this is not a simply a drop-in. It will need a UI defined and
 built but core functionality is all there. Suggest cleanup of threading
 before a production release.
