Why VPN is not enough?
Doesn't using an untrustworthy VPN do worse when combining with tor?
I would argue the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There's around 1,400 exit nodes on the Tor network, 99.5% are 'good' nodes, however 0.5% of nodes are considered to be malicious, i.e. they attempt to track you steal your passwords etc. VPNs prevent this. The key word here is untrustworthy, AirVPN, TorGuard, PIA are all excellent choices. In fact PIA hosts the forum
We are currently hosted by Private Internet Access, a bitcoin-accepting VPN service. I would assume that we're also renting the physical server from them, but I'm not privy to those details.
You want to prevent the VPN from being associated from you in the first place, even if they do log, generally you're still safe

In practicality the only method currently supported on Android is VPN To Tor
