Program for expanding memory on Android. How to increase RAM on Android

Don't rush to buy a new gadget, because SWAPit RAM EXPANDER can easily solve these problems.

Peculiarities

SWAPit RAM EXPANDER allows you to virtually expand the device's RAM, thereby increasing its multitasking. The developers report that at the moment the application can increase the gadget’s RAM using a memory card up to 2.5 GB, but with future updates the program’s capabilities will increase.

To run the program you will need:

  • Root user rights;
  • SD card, class above 4.
  • BusyBox.

Also, the program will not start if the gadget kernel does not support swap memory.

Cons and pros

The program allows you to significantly increase the multitasking of the device. That is, it gives the user the opportunity to open many applications at the same time. The program is easy to use. Even the most experienced user can handle the intuitive interface, which, among other things, can take advantage of automatic settings. The flexibility of the settings of this application will pleasantly surprise, in turn, experienced users who will be able to achieve maximum multitasking, stability, performance, and configure the automatic start function.

If the speed of the memory card is low (up to 10), the overall speed of the device and its stability will decrease.

Below you can download the RAM EXPANDER application in Russian on your Android

An application that will allow you to virtually expand the amount of RAM in a portable device based on the Android operating system. The principle of operation of the program is that it makes it possible to use part of the free space on the SD card as RAM. Of course, such an imaginary increase in the amount of RAM is unlikely to affect the performance of the device. But thanks to this program, you will be able to run games and programs that require more RAM than is on your device. Of course, the stable operation of such programs is not guaranteed, but you will definitely be able to run them.

In order for you to be able to add and disable “virtual” memory at any time, you can use a special widget for the desktop. Currently, the maximum amount of RAM that the program can emulate is 2.5 GB. In the future, the developers plan to increase this figure. Other features of the program include launching when the operating system starts, the ability to independently select the location that will be used as “RAM,” as well as a very simple and intuitive graphical interface.

Attention! Samsung devices use their own kernels and therefore this application will not be able to use the page file. If you want to use it, flash an alternative kernel. For example CyanogenMod! This application requires administrator rights!

Peculiarities:

  • Virtual expansion of RAM up to 2.5 GB using Swap on linux technology (Familiar "Swap file").
  • Free use of SD memory cards as RAM (Class4 or higher)
  • Settings let you control the speed and stability of your Android device
  • PNP widget
  • Details of the analysis
  • Auto-start function
  • Customizable swap kernel
  • Easy to use
  • Supports all Android devices with Tung (root access and Kernelswap support)
  • Significant increase in multitasking

Important! If, after any manipulations (uninstallation, installation of the program "on top of each other", diamonds with Lucky Patcher, etc.) the program writes when starting that there is not enough free memory, clearing Dalvick Cache helps in 80 percent, as well as cleaning tails in data/app!
How can I start without the Internet? - For the first time with the Internet turned on, specify the path to the swap and provide SU permissions. Display the widget on the screen. Next, you can turn off the Internet. The swap will be turned on and off via the widget. The program itself does not start.

Description of Roehsoft Swapit Ram Expander items

Roehsoft Swapit Ram Expander instructions for version 3 and higher

  1. Make sure you have root rights, updated BusyBox and a kernel that supports swap. You can check whether the kernel supports swap with MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check program + Instructions.
  2. Launch the RamExpander program
  3. Select the language "(Convenient for you)" (In Version 3+, the language can be selected automatically - by default of the system!):
  4. Click "Optimal Value":

5. Press the hardware "Menu" button, select "Select folder for Swap File" (here the creators of the program have a translation error, we do not create any folder, but only indicate the path to the memory card) and select the desired memory card or enter the path to it manually (here we. if we want, we can create a folder for the Swap file, then click “specify the path manually”, this is an item for two options, either if your card is not displayed in the general list, or if you want to hide the Swap in a folder so that your eyes are not visible mazolil) by clicking “Action 3 (This is an example)” on the desired directory with your memory card (Removable!):

6. Set the Swap file size manually, from 256 to 812 Megabytes (to do this, click on the number in the “Swap file” line = “Or move the slider in the same line), there is no point above, the device will start to “glitch” ", the program will not be stable! (because more time will be spent on “reading and writing” inside the Swap file (Shortly intelligible))

7. Check the box next to “Run at startup” and move the “Activate Swap” slider from left to right. The creation of the Swap file will begin!

Many smartphone/tablet users sometimes have the question “How to increase RAM on Android?”

The fact is that in some cases, a device with this operating system begins to slow down very much.

This usually starts after a long enough time of use. Applications and files accumulate and this leads to the fact that the gadget’s RAM simply does not have time to process it all. Therefore, there is a need to increase its volume.

There are three ways to complete this task.

The first is the simplest and involves properly managing the existing resources of your smartphone/tablet.

The meaning of the second is almost the same, but in this case we will deal with deleting applications.

Finally, the third method is to use certain specialized programs. These create a paging file and thanks to this they have the opportunity to increase RAM. So let's get started!

Method 1: Optimizing existing applications

Everything here is quite simple - you need to take and disable those applications that you do not need at the moment. Yes, it would be nice to remove them, but the problem is that not every program can be simply removed from the device.

But you can disable almost everything except system ones. Unfortunately, nothing can be done with the latter. But even without them, the operating system will not work. Therefore, you just need to stop unnecessary applications from running.

To do this, follow a few simple steps:

  1. Go to settings and select “Applications” there. In Android OS and higher, you additionally need to go to the “Application Manager”. But in any case, you won't get confused.
  2. In some versions of Android, you then need to go to the “Memory Usage” item. In others, it is enough to open the aforementioned manager or just the list of applications. Next you will see the picture shown in Figure 1. The open window will display all installed programs and the amount of memory that each of them occupies. The bottom will show how much memory is used and how much is free.
  3. Next, click on the application that you do not use and open its menu. It will have several buttons. If it can be removed, there will be a corresponding button in the menu. If this is not the case, there will only be "Stop" and "Disable" buttons.

Rice. 1. List of applications on Android and the menu of one of them

  1. First stop and then disable the selected application. Do the same with other programs that you do not use.

Then the RAM will be slightly unloaded and the device will be ready for further loads. After this procedure, the smartphone/tablet will immediately start working faster and will be able to process large amounts of information.

Method 2: Uninstall programs

As we said above, in some cases it will be better to simply uninstall the applications. Then they will definitely not be able to create a load on the system. But some programs cannot be removed. They are called system ones.

These include a standard flashlight, programs from Microsoft, and the like. Of course, some of them are really better not to delete. But there are also those that you can completely do without.

For example, every Android phone/tablet has the Gmail application. If you don't use Google email, you don't need it, but you can't just delete it.

So, there are two ways to remove uninstallable applications:

  1. Obtaining superuser rights, which make it possible to delete absolutely everything that is on the device and perform other operations with it all.
  2. Using special programs to remove applications on Android.

Superuser rights are also called root rights. To obtain them, the easiest way is to use special programs. For example, there is KingRoot. This is one of the most popular applications for obtaining root rights. To use it, do this:

  • download KingRoot from the official website of this program and install it;
  • launch the application;
  • if all is well, the “Try to root” button will become available, click on it;
  • wait until the device is granted superuser rights.

Rice. 2. Using KingRoot on a smartphone

If you were unable to complete the above instructions, try using the same KingRoot, but on a computer. To do this, follow a series of simple steps:

  1. Go to the official KingRoot website again and download the program for your computer there. Install it.
  2. Connect your smartphone or tablet to your computer via a USB cable. Launch KingRoot. The program will automatically find the connected device. The search process looks like shown in Figure 3.

Rice. 3. Search for connected devices in KingRoot on your computer

  1. When the device is found, a window will appear on it asking you to allow USB debugging. Click OK to complete this action. Without it, it will be impossible to perform all further operations.

Rice. 4. Allow USB debugging on your phone

  1. Now, in the program on your computer, press the “ROOT” button to give the connected device root rights.

Rice. 5. Button for assigning root rights to the connected device

  1. Some devices will require a reboot. If this is the case in your case, a notification will appear on it. Click "OK" to reboot. If not, continue to the next step.
  2. At the end, the “Finish” button will appear in the program window on the computer. Click on it to complete the process.

Rice. 6. Completing the assignment of root rights in KingRoot on the computer

After this, you will be able to work with superuser rights. Go to the list of applications again, open any one and there will be a “Delete” button. Click on it to delete.

In addition to KingRoot, also pay attention to the following applications that will help you complete the task of assigning root rights:

  • iRoot;
  • UniversalAndroot;
  • Framaroot;
  • Vroot;
  • KingRoot;
  • Kingoapp;
  • Towelroot;
  • Root Genius;
  • WeakSauce.

Most of them help you complete the task in one click.

Just. Is not it?

It's even easier to install special programs that allow you to remove other applications. For example, there is Super Cleaner. The application was created in 2017 by the Hawk App Studio development team. To use it, do the following:

  1. Download the application on Google Play (here is the link).
  2. Go to the "App Uninstall" menu.
  3. You will see a list of installed applications that you can remove. Those that cannot be uninstalled using the standard list of Android applications will also be displayed here.
  4. Click on an application to remove it from your smartphone/tablet.

Rice. 7. List of applications to remove in Super Cleaner

All such programs have the same algorithm of use - you need to go to the list of applications and click on the one you want to delete. Here is a list of other programs for uninstalling applications:

  • Clean Master Lite;
  • DU Speed ​​Booster;
  • CCleaner;
  • Clean My Android.

Removing unnecessary programs will significantly increase the amount of available RAM. Using swap files will also help with this.

Method 3: Using special programs

The principle here is the same as on computers. There is a paging file that takes on the load that the main memory of the device cannot take on. So, there are many programs that allow you to create such files and add them to your smartphone/tablet. Let's look at the most convenient and popular ones.

SWAPit RAM EXPANDER

Quite an interesting program created by ordinary geeks. It allows you to create swap files up to 2.5 GB. If you have, for example, 1 GB of standard RAM, then even 1 GB will be just a treasure. To use SWAPit RAM EXPANDER, do the following:

  1. Download the app. This can be done, for example, on the 4PDA forum (here is the link).
  2. Launch it. From the very beginning you will need to select a language. Unfortunately, there is no Russian here. In principle, it doesn’t matter in what language this product will work, so you can leave the “English” option or check the box next to “Deutsch” and click “OK”.

Rice. 8. Selecting a language in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER

  1. The program needs the superuser rights mentioned above. But you don't need to get them separately. SWAPit RAM EXPANDER will independently give root rights to your device. To do this, you just need to click on the “Allow” button in the window that appears.
  1. Next you will be taken to the main menu of the program in question. In it, click the “Optimal” button. This will make it possible to go to the menu of functions responsible for achieving optimal operating parameters for the smartphone/tablet.

Rice. 10. “Optimal” button in the main menu of the program

  1. Next, check the box next to “Swap Aktiv”. This will cause a scan of existing device settings.

Rice. 11. Scan function

  1. The scanning itself will begin. It looks as shown in Figure 12. This process can be interrupted at any time by clicking on the “Bitte warten” button (if the interface language is selected in German).

Rice. 12. The process of scanning a device in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER

  1. When the scanning is completed, the program will already know how much to add to the existing amount of RAM for optimal operation of the device. To be precise, SWAPit RAM EXPANDER will determine the optimal operating speed. Accordingly, from this it will be possible to understand how much the device is currently missing.

Rice. 13. Result of scanning in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER

  1. Press the "schliessen" or "close" button (depending on the language) to activate paging.

ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER

This program is paid and you will have to pay to download it on Google Play. If you are ready to take this step, do this:

  • Download ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER (here is the link). Run this program.
  • In the field where it says “Swap file = [size]” there is a slider that allows you to set the size of the swap file. Take advantage of this.
  • Click on the “Activate Swap” button.

Rice. 14. ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER window

  • Wait until the program finishes its work.

Now, every time the system starts, the page file will also start. As you can see, everything is very simple in ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER. But this program is paid. You can use the free option SWAPit RAM EXPANDER. Choose what is more convenient for you.

Good luck in job!

The video below shows another way to create a page file on Android OS.

How to properly create a paging file, and what it is

In the video I will talk about how to properly make a swap file on an Android phone. P.S. In the video, I forgot to say that in the Swapit Ram Expander (Ram Expander) program, you do not need to disable or delete the swap file! The program itself will disable the swap file when you connect a USB!
