-------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 Updated my orbot this morning, because I saw an update in the F-Droid
 store, to  16.1.4-BETA-1-tor-0.4.2.5-rc.

 1) I open orbot, the "start screen" loads fine. It shows the unconnected
 start-state. The background makes this nice pulsing animation
 2) I want to start the service, tap "start"/logo.
 3) App crashes. It just disappears the second I click start.
 4) I then reopen the app, still it is unconnected of course. I enable the
 VPN slider. The app instantly crashes (again). Even worse, when I now
 start it again, it crashes (does not show the start screen anymore,
 either).

 I am on android 9. Lineageos 16.0-20191229-NIGHTLY-beryllium. Kernel
 4.9.200-perf-g44bd5bc. I use a pocophone f1.
 Cannot use the app now.
