Enhancement for persecuted christians #210

Dear andbible developer,

I'm writing some thoughts to help andbible spread across persecuted countries. 
I think I saw an issue long time ago about changing the icon to be less 
visible, but I don't find it anymore. Anyway, there are a lot of ways that we 
could improve andbible for the persecuted church.

First of all, we would need to change the icon of andbible. Lot of people know 
what it means. I don't have ideas on what it could look like. Even more and 
more bible's opponents know what the fish means.

Secondly, we would need to change the name. I don't think it's useful to change 
the name, but could we add an option to change the launcher's name in settings? 
The other solution would be to do a separate project edition.

Thirdly, adding a proxy option so that it could use Tor network (or similar).

Fourtly, doing something like “Hide It Pro" app¹. It hides itself as a 
simple app (sound manager) in launcher, but with correct tapping and secret 
code (you should try), as an hiding app. We could do similar (or the same) with 
the one with the persecuted option (or an other andbible edition)

It was just some thoughts to help the Gospel and the Bible advance in hostile 
places. Not all must be made, but some would be very helpful. I would really 
like to help, but I don't know Android's Java.

It is amazing how many mobile device there are and how accessible it is. One of 
the cheapest way to share christian resources is by internet. However, it is 
sadly not very used and I don't find much resources for persecuted Christians. 
May God raise good programmers for His Kingdom.

Sincerely in Christ's name,

Etienne

Thank you for all the above suggestions.

I have been liaising with workers in persecuted countries and have made changes 
requested by them.  Please be assured that discussion will continue.  Also the 
icon was specifically changed to an ichthys for this reason.
