Is there an option to generate a custom Bitcoin address on Android. Is there a vanitygen app or can it only be used on a vps or pc. If there is not an app is there an inbrowser vanitygen alternative?
If you look in the OP of samr7's thread (Near the bottom) you'll see that someone had made an android version. I think I tried it a long time ago and it wasn't working. It was developed in 2012 and no one seemed to keep up with it. You can try it out though and see if it'll work now!

i think generating an address with speficic name until 5 sensitive letters on android would take an age,and so far no app for android to generate an address and generating using browser really not encouraged,but hey you can just hire someone to generate an address for you,and the one who's already trusted on this forum is shorena if i'm not mistaken
Use split key vanity gen and it doesn't matter if they're 'trusted' or not. Shorena uses this method and you never have to trust him because he never has your private key. Essentially what you're doing is taking a part private key and 'adding' your other part private key to make a new private key for your very own secure vanity address.
