Nqubeko Progress Magayela
The apps seems to work, but I think the "Use Priority" is not accurate at all, even if I set it to 1% it behaves like 60% and that's very bad for me as a game because I want the priority to be as less as possible to avoid unnecessary swapping. I use a Redmi Note 8 Pro android 11.

Nice utility. It rescues something Android forgot to include from Linux, whence the kernel derives. With memory swapping, the apps' unused pages, instead of occupying precious RAM, stay in the slower swap file. This increases the number of applications that can fit in memory at a given time, and avoids apps being terminated by the Android system to free RAM for newly-loaded apps. Especially for DeX & similar systems, where the handheld device becomes a desktop (and need to accommodate more apps running simultaneously - without apps being killed to free RAM), this functionality is not just a nice enhancement, it is mandatory. I only give it 4 stars because of the shallow size limit for the swap file, 2GB. The app should allow for up to 2.5 times the size of system RAM - this means up to 10GB in a 4GB device, or 15GB in a 6GB one, and so on - so it can conform to well-known, basic memory swap guidelines for a Linux (Android) system.

I find it extremely helpful on my Galaxy S5 that has low ram for custom Android 9.0 ....Now my device runs like it's on stock OS .... completely fluent in every way....Thanks to this app....But i have one doubt.. Like all sd cards usually die faster due to swapping...i am using my phone's internal memory for swap....Can it kill my phone's memory chip ? Thanks
