There are many applications in the Google Play store that will
allow you to increase you device's usable RAM; though the
process is a bit tricky.

In laptops and personal computers, users have the luxury to expand
the Random Access Memory or RAM, which is crucial to a device's
performance. The same facility is not available in tablets and
smartphones.
However, there are applications which allow smartphone/tablet users
to expand their device's RAM by a substantial amount. Take the
Roehsoft RAM Expander for instance. We had used this app in one of
my devices, which has only 256 MB RAM and could not run even
some basic games. But after using the app, there was a noticeable
change in the device's performance.
However, keep in mind that such applications require your device to
be rooted and rooting a device voids its warranty. Also, rooting is
advisable only for advance users and you should not try rooting your
smartphone or tablet if you do not have thorough knowledge of its
functioning, as during the process you may end up killing your device
altogether.
Before we proceed, lets have a look at the properties of the Roehsoft
Ram Expander application. First of all, it is a paid application
available from Google Play store for a hefty price of Rs 499. According
to its developers, the app can increase the RAM of the device to 4
GB, which is a very tall claim as no tablet or smartphone as of now
comes with such huge RAM. The app uses the micro SD card's
storage.
Of course, since it claims to increase the RAM to 4 GB you need to
have a high capacity micro SD card. It's best if you have a 16 GB or
higher capacity card as you also need to use the micro SD card to
store your content. Also, go for a higher class micro SD card which
has a higher data transfer rate and is crucial for better device
performance.
Here is a step by step approach on how to use the app.
Step 1:
Before installing the Roehsoft Ram Expander application, you first
need to root your device. If you already have a rooted device just
download the app from Google Play store.
Step 2:
From the menu tray of your device, locate and run the application. On
opening, the app will ask you to choose your language - English or
Deutsch. Then it would ask for root access; just press ok to proceed
further. It will take just 10 seconds to complete the formality.

Step 3:
On reaching the home page of the app you will see the memory info
at the bottom that will tell you how much space is available in your
SD card that can be used as RAM; how much RAM is present in your
device and what would be the total RAM once you are done with the
process.
Step 4:
At the top, there are four icons - Swap active, Autorun, Notify icon,
Hypermode. Click Autorun and Hypermode while leaving the other
two. Click Notify icon, if you want the icon of the app into your
notification bar.
Step 5:
Just below the four boxes mentioned above there are slider bars -
Swapfile, swappiness, MinFreeKB. Swapfile slider tells you how much
free storage in your micro SD card can be used. So choose the
amount of SD card memory that you want to use as RAM by scrolling
the bar.
Step 6:
Then just click the Swap Activ box which will start the process
allow you to increase you device's usable RAM; though the
process is a bit tricky.
