Description

[RethinkDNS](https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/131) uses [NetCipher's OrbotHelper.java](https://github.com/guardianproject/NetCipher/blob/fee8571b1fb75c4164c5f4209565a6697152f8d8/libnetcipher/src/info/guardianproject/netcipher/proxy/OrbotHelper.java) to start and connect with Orbot's SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies. The [latest Orbot release v16.6.0-RC-4](https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/releases/tag/16.6.0-RC-4-tor.0.4.6.9) has broken this integration.

More specifically, [`org.torproject.android.intent.action.STATUS`](https://github.com/guardianproject/NetCipher/blob/fee8571b1fb75c4164c5f4209565a6697152f8d8/libnetcipher/src/info/guardianproject/netcipher/proxy/OrbotHelper.java#L642) does not return expected answers.

In logcat I see:

```
W/Orbot: unhandled OrbotService Intent: org.torproject.android.intent.action.START
W/Orbot: unhandled OrbotService Intent: org.torproject.android.intent.action.STATUS
```

Let me know if I should file this with the NetCipher project instead?
