Description
I'm trying to use Orbot on two Android devices. One is a Nexus 9 running stock Android 5.0.2, and the other is a Nexus 6P running the nightly build of CyanogenMod 13 (based on Android 6.0.1), built 12/13/2015. Orbot 15.0.1-RC-3-PIE (Tor 0.2.6.10) is installed from F-Droid on both devices.
When I start Orbot on either of these devices, I get the same exception - something about not being able to find tor.mp3. Here's the log, which is identical on both devices:
checking binary version: null upgrading binaries to latest version: 0.2.6.10 There was an error installing Orbot binaries Orbot is starting… Orbot is starting… checking binary version: null upgrading binaries to latest version: 0.2.6.10 Unable to start Tor: java.io.FileNotFoundException: armeabi/tor.mp3 Set background service to FOREGROUND TorService is shutting down Orbot is deactivated Orbot is starting… Orbot is starting… checking binary version: null upgrading binaries to latest version: 0.2.6.10 Unable to start Tor: java.io.FileNotFoundException: armeabi/tor.mp3 Set background service to FOREGROUND TorService is shutting down Orbot is deactivated
I suspect what's happening is that both of these devices have newer architectures and for some reason tor.mp3 is getting put in some architecture-specific location. But I'm really not enough of an expert to tell for sure.

Yeah, that resolves it. Thanks!
Seeing a very similar bug on my Android emulator. Downloading the latest version of Orbot (15.0.1-RC-3-PIE) from FDroid results in:
strugee, btw the file is actually a .zip, but has an mp3 extension due to legacy reasons.
Please also note that this bug in not present in the identically named version of Orbot that is older and 0.1 MB smaller.
