 Hi
 Many android apps that are not designed to work with tor frequently fail
 connections while transparent proxying is enabled. For example firefox and
 chromium often say "cannot create secure connection" or "site could not be
 loaded". Most times, the bug disappears after 2-3 times refreshing the
 page, but ofter the sites are not loaded correctly then.

 Other apps cannot connect to the internet at all. (Eg. NasaPic)

 Im on rooted (Superuser) CopperheadOS (hardened Android based on AOSP
 6.0.1 marshmallow) on a Nexus 5.
 I installed Orbot from your FDroid-repo and granted it root for
 transparent proxy (proxy all applications).

 Do you need more information? Im not sure, whether its an Issue caused by
 CopperheadOS or by Orbot. I remember using Orbot on CM12 without these
 issues.
