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 starts to slow down very much.
This usually starts after a fairly long 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 all this. Therefore, there is a need to increase its volume.
There are three ways to complete this task.
The first one is the simplest and consists in properly managing the already available smartphone / tablet resources.
The meaning of the second is almost the same, but in this case we will deal with the removal of applications.
Finally, the third way is to use certain specialized programs. Those create a paging file and due to this they have the opportunity to increase the RAM. So let's get started!
Everything is quite simple here - you need to take and disable those applications that you do not need on this 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 turn off almost everything except the system ones. With the latter, unfortunately, nothing can be done. But even without them, the operating system will not work. Therefore, you just need to stop the execution of unnecessary applications.
To do this, follow a few simple steps:
Rice. 1. List of applications on Android and the menu of one of them
Then the RAM will be slightly unloaded and the device will be ready for further loads. After such a procedure, the smartphone / tablet will immediately start working faster and be able to process large amounts of information.
As we said above, in some cases it will be better to simply remove the applications. Then they will definitely not be able to create a load on the system. But some programs cannot be uninstalled. They are called systems.
These include a standard flashlight, programs from Microsoft, and the like. Of course, some of them are really better left uninstalled. But there are some that you can do without.
For example, every Android phone/tablet has a Gmail app. If you are not using email from Google, you don't need it, but you can't just delete it.
So, there are two ways to remove non-removable applications:
Superuser rights are also called root rights. The easiest way to get them is to use special programs. For example, there is KingRoot. This is one of the most popular rooting apps. To use it, do this:
Rice. 2. Using KingRoot on a smartphone
If you were unable to follow the instructions above, try using the same KingRoot, but on a computer. To do this, follow a series of simple steps:
Rice. 3. Search for connected devices in KingRoot on the computer
Rice. 4. Allow USB debugging on your phone
Rice. 5. Button for assigning root rights to the connected device
Rice. 6. The end of the assignment of root rights in KingRoot on the computer
After that, you will be able to work with superuser rights. Go back to the list of applications, open any and there will be a "Delete" button. Click on it to complete the removal.
In addition to KingRoot, also pay attention to the following applications that will help you complete the task of assigning root rights:
Most of them help to complete the task in one click.
Just. Is not it?
It is even easier to install special programs that allow you to uninstall 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:
Rice. 7. List of applications to uninstall in Super Cleaner
All such programs have the same usage algorithm - you need to go to the list of applications and click on the one you want to delete. Here is a list of other application uninstallers:
Removal unnecessary programs will significantly increase the amount of available RAM. The use of paging files will also help with this.
The principle here is the same as on computers. There is a swap file that takes on the load that the main memory of the device cannot take. So, there are many programs that allow you to create such files and add them to your smartphone / tablet. Consider the most convenient and popular of them.
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:
Rice. 8. Language selection in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER
Rice. 10. "Optimal" button in the main menu of the program
Rice. 11.Scan function
Rice. 12. The process of scanning the device in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER
Rice. 13. Scan result in SWAPit RAM EXPANDER
This program is paid and you will have to pay to download it on Google Play. If you're ready to take that step, do the following:
Rice. 14. ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER window
Now, every time the system starts, the paging file will also be launched. As you can see, everything is very simple in ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER. But this program is paid. You can use the free SWAPit RAM EXPANDER option. Choose what is more convenient for you.
Good luck in job!
The video below shows another way to create a swap file on Android OS.
In the video I will talk about how to properly make a paging file on 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 and delete the swap file! The program will disable the swap file itself when you connect USB!
RAMEXPANDER is powerful and very useful application for devices running low on RAM. It will allow you to create a Swap (swap file) which will solve this problem.
In other words, through the program, you can allocate up to 4GB of memory on the SD card for the paging file, thereby speeding up the device and getting the multitasking desired by many!
Q: After creating a partition, it writes a write speed of 3 mb, and the recommended one is 6. Will this affect the work?
A: No, it won't. (Weak memory cards will be noticeable with a larger Swap size)
Q: If I re-flash the phone, will the swap remain or not?
A: If you now have a kernel that supports swap, and the kernel is not replaced during firmware or is replaced by a kernel that supports this function, then the swap will remain. In other cases, no.
Q: Is it okay that I chose internal / external memory?
O: Nothing. You can select any directory.
Q: Should USB debugging be enabled?
O: Doesn't matter.
Q: Do I need to split the sd card into sections?
A: Not necessarily.
Q: When using the program for a long time, the read / write speed of the card has decreased. How to restore initial speed?
A: Format the SD card through the computer using "full format" and not "quick"
Q: Writes that the kernel does not support swap. What to do?
A: Flash a custom kernel with swap support.
Q: Where can I find custom kernel/firmware?
A: in the open spaces w3bsit3-dns.com, or via Google using the query "custom firmware for *your device model* w3bsit3-dns.com
Q: The program works, but in the task manager how much RAM was left, so much is left
A: The task manager does not display the swap. To view All memory, use special programs
Q: Is the memory card formatted when creating a swap file (not a partition)
Oh no
Q: If you use the built-in memory of the device, and not a flash drive, will there be any consequences? Does the program just create a swap file of the selected size? Will the rest of the memory be available?
O: That's right. For example, if at first there were 500 megabytes of free memory, then after creating a 200 megabyte swap in internal memory there will be 500-200=300 megabytes free.
Q: On startup it gives "swapfile.swp: Invalid argument"
ABOUT: This error indicates that the swap size limit for a particular kernel has been exceeded. You need to choose a size less than 500 MB.
Q: How can I start without the Internet?
A: For the first time with the Internet turned on, specify the path to the swap, and grant SU permissions. Bring the widget to the screen. Next, you can turn off the Internet. Swap will turn on and off through the widget. The program itself does not start.
This program will allow you to create SWAP files (swap files). They are located on the microSD card of your mobile device and improve its performance.
The amount of RAM is one of the main parameters that is responsible for the speed of a smartphone or tablet, for the number of simultaneously opened tasks, for the speed of switching between background processes, for the ability to play three-dimensional games and run large applications.
However, if your device has little “RAM”, this is not a reason to put an end to it. With this utility, you can create a so-called swap file, which will allow you to increase the amount of RAM memory in your mobile smartphone or tablet with a memory card.
The SWAP file creation app allows you to increase the amount of RAM, ensure stable multitasking and run large applications. With the help of the utility, you can expand the RAM up to 2.5 GB through MicroSD.
Of the mandatory requirements, it is worth noting: the presence of root rights, a BusyBox working package and a memory card with a class of Class 4+. Moreover, the higher the class of the memory card, the faster your device will work.
SWAPit RAM EXPANDER also provides flexible settings to improve performance and ability, and for beginners the "Auto-Tuning" feature. You will not know the problems with the lack of RAM if you add it to the application in autorun.
You can download the SWAPit RAM EXPANDER application in Russian for the Android platform for free on our website.
An application that allows you to virtually expand the amount of RAM in portable device on the base operating system Android. The principle 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 can run games and programs that require more RAM than you have on your device. Of course, the stable operation of such programs is not guaranteed, but you can definitely run them.
In order for you to add and disable "virtual" memory at any time, you can use a special widget for the desktop. At the moment, the maximum amount of RAM that the program can emulate is 2.5 GB. In the future, the developers plan to increase this figure. Among other features of the program, one can note the launch at the start of the operating system, the ability to independently choose the place 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 swap file. If you want to use it, flash an alternative kernel. For example CyanogenMod! This app requires admin rights!
Peculiarities:
Important! If, after any manipulations (deleting, installing the program "on top of each other", tambourines with Lucky Patcher, etc.), the program writes at startup that there is not enough free memory, cleaning the Dalvick Cache helps in 80 percent, as well as clearing tails in data/app!
How can I run without internet? - For the first time with the Internet turned on, specify the path to the swap, and grant SU permissions. Bring the widget to the screen. Next, you can turn off the Internet. Swap will turn on and off through the widget. The program itself does not start.
5. Press the hardware button "Menu", select "Select a folder for the 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 map is not displayed in the general list, or if you want to hide Swap in a folder so that your eyes are not mazolil) by clicking "Action 3 (This is an example)", on the desired directory with your memory card (Removable!):
6. Set the size of the Swap file manually, in the amount from 256 to 812 MB (for this, click on the number in the line "Swap file =" Or move the slider in the same line), there is no point above, the device will start to "fail ", the program will not be stable! (Because it will take more time to "read-write" inside the Swap file (Short-intelligible))
7. Check the box next to "Run at startup", and move the "Enable Swap" slider from left to right. Swap file creation will begin!
Do not rush to buy a new gadget, because SWAPit RAM EXPANDER can easily solve these problems.
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 up to 2.5 GB using a memory card, however, with future updates, the program's capabilities will increase.
For the program to work you will need:
Also, the program will not start if the gadget's kernel does not support swap memory.
The program allows you to significantly increase the multitasking of the device. That is, it gives the user the ability to open many applications at the same time. The program is easy to use. Even not the most experienced user can cope with an intuitive interface, which, among other things, can take advantage of automatic settings. The flexibility of the settings of this application will pleasantly surprise you, in turn, experienced users, which will be able to achieve maximum multitasking, stability, performance, set up the automatic launch function.
If the speed of the memory card is low (up to 10), the overall speed of the device and the stability of its operation will decrease.
