Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:44 gk]:
 > I tried #28802 on top of this bug and `obs3` and `obfs4` are working out
 of the box. However `meek` not. I suspect that's because we use `meek` in
 the prefs file as transport name, compared to `meek_lite` in Orbot.
 However, I don't think we should have `meek_lite` as the transport name on
 our preferences view as this is confusing and misleading as `meek_lite` is
 in fact just `meek`. So, we might need a small additional patch replacing
 "meek_lite" with "meek" on our side.

 So, yes, replacing `meek` in the prefs line with `meek_lite` makes this
 work. And looking at the code again we can easily show the label we want
 by replacing the meek-related part of the pref key to, say, `meek`
 (instead of `meek-azure` as it is right now). But I guess following what
 we have on desktop is the right thing to do...

 (Oh, and all that said if we need to take this into account as well if we
 get away from our own prefs parsing and use a more Android-y way of
 dealing with those preferences instead)
