[Android] What is the best way to obfuscate apk

I need a way to obfuscate my apk trojan cuz I am trying old ways but they seem to not work anymore

They don't. APK crypters are dead.

1. Dynamic Code Loading


Alert on use of `DexClassLoader` / `PathClassLoader` loading from writable storage.
Alert on heavy use of reflection (`java.lang.reflect.*`) especially when followed by other suspicious activity. Detect `System.loadLibrary` calls with unexpected/native libraries.
Flag runtime downloads of `.dex`/`.jar` files into app data and immediate execution. Correlate dynamic loading events with subsequent outbound network activity (C2-style beaconing).
Maintain a whitelist of known legitimate apps/frameworks to reduce false positives.

2. Unexpected Network Traffic / Beaconing


Detect periodic outbound connections with consistent intervals (e.g., 50–70 seconds) to external endpoints.
Flag connections to newly seen or low-reputation domains/IPs. Identify small, regular “heartbeat” payloads (consistent size/frequency).
Measure entropy of request bodies or DNS query names; high entropy can indicate encoded C2 traffic. Spot DNS anomalies: repeated failed lookups followed by success, or rapidly generated similar-looking domains (possible DGA).
Combine with preceding suspicious behavior (e.g., dynamic code loading) to raise confidence.

3. Hidden VPN / Tunnel Usage


Alert when non-approved processes create or bring up `tun*` / `tap*` interfaces.
Detect execution of tunneling binaries (e.g., `openvpn`, `wireguard`, `stunnel`) outside of expected/approved clients. Identify long-lived encrypted sessions to uncommon ports with low variance in packet size (possible encapsulation).
Look for TTL or MTU anomalies inconsistent with baseline traffic (signs of tunneling). Detect nested protocols or encapsulated traffic patterns (e.g., unexpected protocol headers inside others).
Monitor processes binding to unexpected network interfaces or creating virtual adapters.

Correlation & Response


Combine multiple signals (e.g., dynamic loading + beaconing + tunnel creation) before escalating.
Enrich destinations with reputation data. Set thresholds to avoid alert fatigue (require multiple beacons, persistence, or chaining).
On detection: isolate the host, capture memory/network traces, and begin investigation using the chained indicators.

Create .apk which can dynamically read code from your server if specified args is met.

This is the best way here imo. Side load it from a hosted server.
Which RAT do you use?
