Preload

Preload application preloads data to RAM to increase read speeds. It works both with and without ROOT access. Recommended to use only on devices with 6+ GB RAM. App doesn't lock processes in RAM, files only.

>> Without ROOT access the app will preload file data in RAM as cache ('readahead' method). The cache is kept while there is enough free RAM. Once the system needs more free RAM, it will free this cache. >> Without ROOT access: — You can preload user apps (for OS 10 and below), files and folders - read speeds will be boosted — You can't preload apps if you are on OS 11+ due to the system limitations — Preloaded data (cache) may be released by OS in a while (depends on amount of available RAM) — You don't need to care about unpreloading data - OS will handle it automatically — App's RAM indicator may show incorrect values due to the system quickly releasing cache — Possible restrictions due to OS permissions

>> With ROOT access the app will preload files in RAM and lock them there ('mlock' method). All data will be kept in RAM and won't be freed, unless you press the 'Unpreload' button, uninstall the app or reboot the device. >> With ROOT access: — You can preload any user apps, files and folders on any supported OS version — Preloaded data will be kept in RAM as much long as you wish with boosted read speeds — You have to manually unpreload data if you want to free used RAM — Accurate app's RAM indicator — No possible OS permission restrictions — On supported kernels OOM score adjustment will be applied for preloaded app process — Possible risk of running out of memory. Don't overload RAM with preload data

>> The indicator shows how much RAM is used/available for preload - measuring method depends on the ROOT access availability. >> While preloading apps, their cache is ignored. If obb or files folders of the app wouldn't fit in RAM, they will be skipped. Also avoid preloading files with special characters in names. >> You can't preload data that is bigger than available RAM. Also 10% of available RAM is reserved to avoid low RAM causes and stutters. >> Swipe left on an app to enable or disable its preloading on boot.
