Description

Hello,

PB shows info "Orbot Not Installed" despite the fact that it is.

How to reproduce it:

GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/) allows to have multiple profiles.
If you have Orbot (connected) on the main profile the apps installed on other working profiles can use it via socks5.

You don't have to install Orbot on every profile if you need Tor.

PB installed on other profiles works with Tor proxy but the info "Orbot Not Installed" must be closed manually.

This is a duplicate of #733. You can read the information there as well as the documentation about using a custom proxy at:

Yes, I remember that. In my opinion this is a bug. The Orbot is installed.
This is your app, your rules. I respect that.

If it makes you feel any better, you can consider the Options menu to read:

None
Tor - Use this option when you have the standard Orbot app installed in the current profile. Otherwise you will receive an unwanted popup dialog.
I2P
Custom - Use this option when you are connecting to Tor in any way besides having the standard Orbot app installed in the current profile.

For space considerations the names are just shortened on the screen. :)
