Swapper and Tools is a program that allows you to get more storage or RAM power. This is an advanced app that creates virtual RAM by swapping between your onboard RAM and SD card. You can use this to get extra power from your device or to slightly increase storage.

Main Features

Swapper and Tools is a program that allows you to cross the threshold between RAM and SD storage to use them interchangeably. Normally RAM is used to power apps while SD cards are used for storage. This app allows you to use some RAM for storage, or to use your SD card as extra RAM.

This app requires rooted access to your device in order to function. If the device is not rooted, then it will make suggestions to help unlock your device. You cannot use any tools or functions until your device is rooted.

Swappiness

This app allows you to choose the "swapiness" level when swapping between RAM and SD storage. This indicates how much of the storage medium will be used for other purposes. The default selection is 60, but you can increase or decrease it between 0 and 100.

A higher level means that you'll get more storage or memory, but it also impacts the RAM or SD more overall. Putting the level too high could impact overall performance. At the same time, you can change the swap level whenever you want. This makes it easy to drastically improve performance or storage as needed.
