[guardian-dev] Orbot v13 alpha 1: testing needed

[shmick at riseup.net]

some quick feedback
android 4.2.2
essentially, i could not connect

cleared data, uninstalled previous orbot, rebooted
installed alpha
enabled debug log
logcat was showing permission denied on libxtables.so
also Orbot runAsRoot=false waitFor=false
superuser doesnt seem to get granted in the initial startup either
tried removing/re-adding to superuser

so far permissions issue for me, i'll keep trying
