I know I can install orbot and select app by app to use socksv5 in the port 9050. But is there a way to have system wide onion routing in android without having to change the configuration for every app?

In Orbot, you have a “VPN mode” toggle, when enabling it, it will create an Android VPN connection which “torify” the traffic of all apps you have selected in the “Tor-Enabled Apps” section. You can select all apps, but still need to remember to go add new apps each time you install them (I don’t think there is an automated way to do it).
Unless this changed recently, Android only support a single active VPN connection at a time, so unfortunately this Orbot mode cannot be used in conjunction with a standard VPN.
I had NetGuard set as a VPN to avoid adds so I guess I’ll have to choose.
