 Using an outbound proxy I'm 100% sure is working (since I use it to
 connect to the internet in general)

 However, using Orbot on VPN Mode does not (it is stuck in 85% or 10%). It
 works when not using VPN Mode (using the usual method).

 Using Orbot on VPN Mode without Outbound Proxies work (as expected I
 guess).

 Tested on Android One (specifically Cherry Mobile One) and  LG Optimus L3
 II E425.

 Disabling VPN Mode, the connection to Tor is a success, but as you expect,
 you cannot connect to Tor without the root-hook or the VPN mode. Enabling
 VPN Mode after making the connection to Tor also does not work. (for
 obvious reasons).

 I assume this has something do to with the VPN function in Android
 screwing around with how Tor connects to outbound proxies...?
