Description by Open Box Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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 :)
