What does RAM do and why do I need it for my android?
RAM is the most essential part of
any processing machine. It saves the address of any program that is being
executed or processing in the background.
It also saves the memory of that program temporarily (as a temporary storage device) which makes the system easy to detect a specific program from a small amount of space to focus on. When new files are added to the ROM or Storage memory of a device, the files are placed by allocating an address through RAM into the hard disk or Permanent storage.

When new files are added to the ROM or Storage memory of a device, the files are placed by allocating an address through RAM into the hard disk or Permanent storage.
The more we have RAM, the more
space will any app get to run its files and create and delete new and old
files. The RAM works continuously when any app is launched, the app moves into RAM,
it gets its space, it starts the processing picking files from the RAM. Let’s say
we start any android game, like asphalt 8. The game boots up, the files starts
to load in the RAM, it will check for free space in RAM either it is sufficient
or not, and what are the addresses that are currently empty, this processing
takes milliseconds, but for speed, increase in milliseconds is also a greater
issue. After finding space, the game starts to allocate files and the system
starts to pick them from the RAM. The system also need RAM to work so if there
is more empty space it will also work properly. For seamless experience from a
game with 1 GB or more data, you require at least 1.5 GB or more RAM, because
near about 300 to 400 MB of RAM is taken by the system itself to run your
device.
In older devices, there used to
be only 256 or 512 MB of RAM which was great for that time but is useless at
present time. Devices with 3-4 GB RAM are also available these days and those
poor old devices doesn’t have any turbo charger to make them really fast to be
compared to those flagship devices. But hey, you can at least make them enough
quick to give you a decent experience even if you are using newer apps or
games.
Why Again?
Here are some points that will
clear your idea on why you had to increase your android device’s RAM in the
first place.
- To have a seamless gaming experience
- Lag free device
- To overheating issues
- To show others how much RAM you’ve got :-P
- To be able to play large games
- To have useful apps in your older devices without device hanging
- To make your device faster in daily use.

Then what should I do?
Just sit tight and read below on
how you can increase your android device RAM without ripping it apart!
How?
Skip this part first because you
need to have something before you end up making your device turbo charged.
What do I need to increase the RAM
of my android?
- Rooted device: from apk : from PC : from iRoot
- A Micro SD card with more than 2 GB memory
- Roehsoft RAM Expander (SWAP): buy from Play store : Get For FREE
- USB or card reader (Optional)
- PC or Laptop (Optional)
How (Again)????
Recommended: Backup your SD Card on your PC or Laptop for if something happens within the process that swipe your card, you must have the backup of your photos, videos and music.
Install the app to your device. (After rooting and backup)
Launch the app
Select the swap size from the first Slide bar where SwpFile=……..MB is written.
Check autorun and drop cache if not checked.
Slide the Swap Active button on the top from left to the Right to activate the swap procedure.
Wait until the swap file is created.
The app will ask to reboot the device, so reboot.
Congratulations, you have increased your RAM.
Now every time you boot your device, the app will automatically set the swap as your additional RAM.
If you like what I shared, if you dislike it or if you have any other problem regarding your android device, comment below, the problem will be solved in the very next post.

Things to Remember:
- Do not format your SD card or the swap file will be lost and you have to create it again with the app.
- Do not remove the app as it is the only thing that makes the swap file up and running as your device RAM.
- Do not Unroot your device unless you have no love left for your Android…!
