Get more storage in your phone

Swapper & Tools is a utility and tool application that could help you get more storage on your phone. It enables you to create, add, and manage swap memory without actually switching partition on SD. With this, you will have extra space for that new app that you want.

Developed by DevLab Technologies, it allows you to increase the size of your RAM. This will come in handy especially since the smartphone's RAM size can't be simply changed by buying a new one like an SD card. It is a lightweight and free of charge storage upgrade option.

Swap that memory

Swap is a virtual RAM. Using this, you can cheat and treat a small portion of your storage—SD card, for example—as if it was a memory. This trick allows you to run applications that need more memory than what you actually have. With Swapper & Tools, you can create or add swaps into your phone without even having a swap partition in your SD card. 

To use the app, you only need to choose the swap directory and set the swappiness level. The swappiness parameter allows you to control how your Android device uses the swap. The higher the value, the more the swap used. The default swappiness value is at 60, while the maximum value is at 100. For your convenience, you can set the app to activate the swap on boot

If you need to change the swap size, you need to reconfigure the app. However, it is important to note that this solution requires root and kernel swap support to run. As stated, it does not need swap partition on SD for it to work but, it does not partition the SD card as well.

Freshly added features and enhancements

The developer added more features and configurations that you can freely tailor to your liking. For instance, there is now a Task Manager that will give you permission to kill another background app which will allow you to have more free memory space. Regarding the ‘Settings’ tab, more options about file size, file destination, and swappiness were added. As mentioned, you will be able to activate the swap file on the boot under the same tab if you wish to.     

Empower your RAM

As most tech-savvy users know, RAM is more beneficial to have in your phone than an SD card as it is faster and has a greater effect on its performance. However, it is difficult to change its size. Thanks to Swapper & Tools it is now highly possible to increase your device's memory. Definitely, it is a valuable app solution for your device so, you'll have more storage space to use for new apps that you want to install.

    It seems like not working on my rooted "Mi box 3 Enhanced" which has only 2GB ram and apps keep crashing with not enough memory space. How to verify whether it is working? The Roehsoft Ram Expander Test app shows that my device firmware or kernel is More
