VM Heap Tool (root only) (v. 2.4.1) Разработано martino |
Requires *FULL ROOT* (aka S-OFF or NAND unlock) and *BUSYBOX*. Please use Busybox version 1.17.x as 1.18.x compile is broken!
Notice: Many users have been asking for increased heap size values. I will not be adding them as Android device configurations have advanced over time, with most devices now offering more than enough heap by default. Increasing it even further won't be of much benefit, as such this app is mostly useful for older devices.
Allows to change the Dalvik VM heap size to give demanding applications more heap space (thus decreasing frequency of garbage collection) to speed-up your device and improve overall performance including battery life. YMMV though.
Please note that changing the heap size may affect the stability of your device and therefore use this app with care!
Special thanks for helping out go to Stephan and Anthony :)

[2013-07-13] A Google User: Smoothness Broken out revo. Running great and much smoother scrolling. Would highly recommend for older devices. |
|
[2013-06-26] A Google User: It's good but not satisfying It's truly speed up your phone but broke my camera,restart the phone sometime, and haptic feedback light keys won't vibrate???? |
|
[2013-05-31] A Google User: doesnt work kogan agora 10 |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: use with care!!! Problems with HOX on CM10.1. Stuck at loading screen after changing VM Heap to 64 from the default 256m! Restored using this method: [from recovery] adb shell mount /system adb pull /system/build.prop [edit this line on your computer to the default: dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m ] adb push build.prop /system/ chmod 644 /system/build.prop [restart phone from recovery] Use this app with care and you will probably get good results. |
|
[2013-03-26] A Google User: NO STARS!!!! BRICKED MY PHONE I went to change the heap size and it shut down the phone, went to reboot and it was stuck in "bootloop", DO NOT USE THIS APP. Don't know how it has any stars at all in the ratings, DON'T USE THIS APP....unless you need a spare brick!! WHY DO I HAVE TO GIVE THIS CRAP APP A STAR?? NEGATIVE STAR OPTION PLEASE!! |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Rubbish I tryed this on my rooted note 2 and it bricked it and would not get passed boot up. 4.1.2 needed to be reinstalled to get the phone working again. |
|
[2013-02-23] A Google User: use with caution use with caution..this app forced me to do a factory reset. Stuck on splash screen. |
|
[2013-02-18] A Google User: Changing review... 5 stars This an excellent app for older rooted phones. If your phone has 1 GB or more of RAM, chances are the heap size is big enough that you will not get any (or little) benefit increasing it, especially if your on ICS or JB. Note your current default size, setting a lower size may prevent your phone from booting |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: bun Cautam asa ceva de mult chiar isi face treaba merita aplicatia 5 stele acum in jocuri multiplayer online nu mai am lag Nice |
|
[2013-02-15] A Google User: Out of date stuff might hit you.... Shouldn't have been playing with it on newest Android. Phone got stuck at the boot. Fastboot and factory image helped and now have to reroot. Stay away from this, if you own newer devices. |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Insanely awesome Superb tool works great. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: xperia P Thanks for crashing my phone!!!!! |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: Excellent job |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Not compatible with Note2? Vm heap reads default of 256, tool reads 64. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Bad Heap size remains unchanged rooted razr max 4.04 |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Ok When I downloaded this app, it showed me that my current vm heap size is already 64.I want to increase it but the maximum you could increase with this app is 64 |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: AMAZING!!!!! After installation, I've noticed that my phone reacts .....as brand new, as I first bought it!!!! Totally smooth and fast for any application on my device!!!!! ;-) That's really amazing! Congratulations (many-many) to the developer, AND keep up your EXCELLENT work. THANK YOU!!!! |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: wonderful makes my android fast |
|
[2012-10-20] A Google User: Fixed my DROID2 Droid 2 was really sluggish. Increasing heap size brought it back to life. Thanks! |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Different Phone... I don't rate apps. This one however is unreal. Increased from 48 to 56. Boot time is quicker, apps in general are MUCH faster. Fantastic app! HTC Inspire/CM7 |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: meh I'm sure this app is nice for a lot of people, but my default heap is the largest available....nothing to change. Samsung S3 |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: Don't DL if you have busy box 1.8!!! Soft bricked my S3 on reboot when I applied the 32 option I believe it was. Had to do a nandroid backup. Uninstall. Keep up with other software releases, thanks! |
|
[2012-10-07] A Google User: Nice Please add the function so we can set above 64 and between 256 which is my default I would like to set at around 112 mid point Dev u know u can bring this function to the massive will five star if this happens |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: TOP APP I never rate app but this app is the best top app. 1000 thanks. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Help How do I unlock my nand? Can u give exact apps to dl before using this app. |
|
[2012-09-12] A Google User: Worked on Moto milestone xt720. Great App. Thanks!!! |
|
[2012-09-04] A Google User: Wow even Facebook is faster. OMG good |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Perfect I almost never leave reviews. I feel it's worth my time here though. I run live wallpapers, one that uses up to 17mb! It really slows down my optimus t that I've had for 2 years. Installed this after rooting and boom! Fast!! Well done. |
|
[2012-08-24] A Google User: Awesome app I'd pay money for this, but it seems as though Samsung devices offer more memory out the box, so I agree that the memory selection should be increased to at least something above 128. |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: My galaxy s2 ics is already running at 128.. Need update to support higher ... |
|
[2012-08-02] A Google User: Super thanks to this app I only have wondermedia tab.and i can see the diff by using vmheap..its like lighting fast haha |
|
[2012-07-28] A Google User: Fu*k! This app screwed up my phone, it showed default heap value for gingerbread is 24m which was bullshit. I'm running gingerbread now my phone crashes every time i turn it on. And i cant even open the app drawer to access the app to undo the changes. |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Still not high enough values The highest u can set your heap is 64, my default is 64. |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Nice job Its so fast thanks u |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Absolutely Amazing. My phone runs so much smother, even if you are running CM I would get this. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Wow... Holy hell set mine from 42 to 52 and I can't believe my eyes how am I just now finding this! |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Awesome.. My phone runs like a super fast express.. Yahoo.... :-) |
|

|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: Insanely superb! I have never seen a device this fast. Fast as in blazing fast. It definitely unleashed the dragon inside of my GN. Thanks a million! |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Poor It works as advertized, but I use mcTweaker and it has many more settings, including all that this app does, but more advanced! |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Sucks balls This is the worst app evere dawg |
|
[2012-05-21] A Google User: Wow! VM default: 32 Current: 40 End result after a few minutes of playing with it... Priceless!!! Droid X .602 & rooted. |
|
[2012-05-20] A Google User: Awesome Works perfect and definate speed boost on my fascinate with cm7 and voodoo kernel |
|
[2012-04-25] A Google User: Absolutely love it I can see major difference. I use anim mod and am using a Motorola Defy. A bad combination since the phone is very slow, even with ROMs such as SetCpu and Optimistic for Root, although they did improve performance the apps still loaded slow. Finally came upon this app and I can see noticeably better performance, from 30 to 64 M of heap, and so far seems stable. And now I get fast apps and I get to see the ssmooth transitions of anim mod :D Thank you! |
|
[2012-04-19] A Google User: Also not able to use this Default heap size on my Atrix is 256m currently. I'm on Cyanogenmod 9. Hopefully there will be more options in future versions. |
|
[2012-04-13] A Google User: Working Works as it should. |
|
[2012-04-09] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy SII on ICS Max heap size is 64, default is 128 on my device, not much use unless you want to lower it. |
|
[2012-04-08] A Google User: Seems like a good app but On my samsung stratosphere it can't increase the heap size, as my default is apparently 72m, meaning no support for stratosphere. I'm not sure if the fix would be larger values or maybe it's just the stratosphere or my ROM. Anyways id like some help, thanks! |
|
[2012-04-07] A Google User: Does what it says Works well! Thanks. |
|
[2012-04-07] A Google User: Great I can see diff with stock Rom using GO launcher. Quicker response once loaded. Will not improve boot time though. |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Cool tool The phone is more stable now . Increased the vm heap size from 32 to 40 , battery life is superb , and I have to reset once at week . That is pretty awesome!!! Thanks Inspire 4G , running energy Rom |

|
[2011-12-30] A Google User: No use No use on my galaxy s2, as my default heap is larger than the app allows mines is 64m still five stars as cant properly rate so wouldnt be nice to mark down when i have not tried it as such |

|
[2011-07-16] A Google User: As far as I can tell, it's perfect. Small difference from 32m to 40m on Evo, but at least now I can record video w/out skipping frames. |
