I've basically made some simple changes that permit VX Connectbot to connect to SOCKS5 proxies. It uses the HTTP proxy configuration portion when you edit the host, and putting in a URL like socks5://my.socks.server:1080 (pre-patch this only permits HTTP proxies), you can use a SOCKS5 proxy to connect. I've used this to good effect connecting to some personal Tor hidden services with the help of Orbot. (socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 suffices for this).

I've needed to merge some of the jsocks upstream code in order to get this to work, and made a few changes to the trilead SSH code to make it use a SocksSocket instead of a plain socket, and to use SOCKS-based DNS resolution rather than local DNS.

This feature obviously requires a bit of cleanup before it's ready, but it's a start I think.

I take it this was never merged?
