Root help orbot is not working

I install the app again but it say orbot is starting
But nothing happen is not turning on
I have a lg optimus v and it work fine
You think is the rom ?

it could be the rom.

this is from the dev's website:
For Android 2.x devices:

You must root your device and update the firmware to an iptables-capable ROM for Orbot to transparently proxy all TCP traffic. For non-modified and non-rooted phones, you'll want to manually configure HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings for specific applications. If you root your device and install an iptables-capable ROM (such as Cyanogen), Orbot can transparently proxy traffic on an app-by-app basis through Tor. You can also install Firefox for Android from the market with the Proxy Mobile Add-on or install the text-only “NDBrowser” from the Android Market. Both of these solutions all routing of web access through Tor on standard, un-rooted devices.

so you can try a different rom like cm7 or deck's reloaded or try firefox browser with the proxy mobile add-on on your phone.
