Can i increase RAM on an android phone?

[lingatorulvietii]

So i have an low android phone( 512MB RAM, dual-core 1.2 Ghz) my question is if i can somehow magically have more ram, i know there are tweaks and stuff, but i want to know exactly

no you cant the only thing you can do is get apps like clean master and or cm security and try to keep the traffic on the ram down thats all i can give you. the reason you cant have more or even less ram is because that cpu inside of your phone is specially designed for that specific ram but there are apps for rooted phones that can overclock the cpu but even then if you tried to do that you would void the warranty and also if you were successful at rooting it and overclocking it the battery would drain almost twice as fast because the cpu needing more juice for the tiny bit of extra power also there are no such apps that overclock ram so that question is out the window

Ram is not a virtual thing. Think of it as glass panes in a window, you cant add more out of thin air. You are stuck with what you have.

Memory in phones and tablets is soldered directly on the motherboard. Unless you have access to a surface-mount reworking station to desolder the existing chips, clean the solder pad, buy higher-capacity chips with matching footprints and pinouts, put solder paste back on the pads, solder-reflow the new chips in place and then update the OS with new memory limits - assuming all the necessary traces to support the extra capacity are in place - you can forget about it. Unless you are an experienced SMD rework tech with access to all the necessary equipment and supplies, you will most likely kill your phone.
