I updated Orbot to find the new UI and everything but therevis only one option which is connecting through vpn only and no option for proxy mode, Did they remove it? Or it is just me who don’t know how to use it? P.s I was using Orbot with RethinkDNS so this change break everything for me.

I saw it and i thought it is something for the rooted mobiles lol, Thanks bro.

To start just the SOCKS port without VPN: Settings > Power User Mode > Enabled
