Orbot is installed alongside Amethyst, then connected within the app. I tried switching EPCM on Amethyst rather than Orbot because things like SimpleX were still working fine. It seemed confined to Amethyst. So far switching that on and off has fixed it. I almost literally just jiggled the handle.

nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c would have to give you the fine details. I believe the point is to protect you from attacks involving memory. This is what it looks like in settings. GrapheneOS only, as far as I know.

Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode is designed to allow apps that have memory related issues picked up by our hardening to run:

The exploit protection compatibility mode toggle will:

Switch from hardened_malloc to Android's standard allocator (Scudo

)

Reduce address space size from 48 bit to Android's standard 39 bit

Disable memory tagging, unless the app has opted-in to it (only on compatible devices)

Allow native debugging (ptrace) access

All of these changes apply only to the selected app and can be toggled separately.
