Comment (by mikeperry):
Just so we have a record of this in the right place: you can specify one
torrc with the --defaults-torrc argument to tor, and a second torrc with
-f. So you would launch Tor with something like:
{{{
tor --defaults-torrc torrc.defaults -f torrc.uservalues
}}}
Then, your UI would append the values that the user enters into just
/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/torrc.uservalues, and those
values would automatically override anything you specified in
torrc.defaults without any additional logic in Orbot.
Otherwise, with the way you are doing it now in a single torrc, tor will
complain when the user tries to specify options that you have already
specified, and for some options, tor will refuse to start.
