Hello

sorry to bother the forum on a droid question but i thought it worth a try....

i have heard it mentioned that android offers some FREE apps that act sort of like
a DOCKER safety container for holding any other apps you want to further install inside a sort of a protected mode...........  they don't really embed themselves into the device as would be a regular app install

sort of like a  FIRE and FORGET container for apps....?..whatever you install there still works correct on your device but can just be thrown out at a heartbeat

i wonder if anybody could point me to that free "docker" styled tool for android?

why the need?........well often with entry level devices i install stuff and it can't even be removed ......say Facebook app.........and that never was once the case with Android devices....

i don't want to have to FACTORY reset the entire device when i want to manage it the way i want

hmmm

thanks
C

hello forum,


while looking into this OP i found a free tool that really speeds up your phone.  It gives you ZRAM from spare parts of your device storage area.....say  4 gigs....it does not require ROOT and works real well on entry level devices thus improving 3D gaming and such like.

it is 10 seconds to install and use.

ULTRA RAM SWAPPER

it's free here if you click through to the download...... and watch the video

it really works...

thx

Nothing if ABSOLUTLY free in this world. You just trade/change time for money, or money for hapiness, or risk versus stability, etc.
BTW, is bad practice/advice to blindly download/install something from internet, just because is "free", or you saw a youtube video about it, or a (not qualified in that field) "friend" recomended it. After you will be hijacked, randsome-ware, device became a brick etc, you have no one to complain.

If you have a spare/old device that you aford to distroy, then by all means knock yourself up. Play the ruSSian rulete. Or at least try in a simulator, not on a real device. YMMV.
