Swapper is a swap manager. You can remove the swap files, create a new one easily by inputting the size only. The Swap files will be automatically activated upon booting ( aka Activate Swap on Boot ). No need to worry about that. Swappiness will be set to maximum.
NOT FOR SSD : Do not use this if you have installed Dark Matter on SSD
Using this on a SSD will decrease the lifespan of the SSD and cause fails. It is recommended to use on HDD.
Recommened for users with 8GB or lesser RAM.
The swap file will be useful if you have lesser RAM. It is not useful if you have RAM higher than 8GB.
Don't Expect too much from Swap
First you need to understand that Swap is not RAM. The swap will be used if your RAM has no free space. and the works are moved to the Swap and the RAM will be freed. With Swap, you can get a slight performance increase. I am not telling that this will increase your RAM. But, there is an option to free up RAM in the Swapper
How much Swap you need
You need only a swap file of 1GB ~ 4GB. If you have allocated more than that. That is waste of space.

Swappiness
The default Swappiness of your system is 60. When Installing this extension. Your Swappiness will be set to 100 and it will reverted to the default (60) when uninstalling.
Boot-Comp
These will happen when you see the Android Interface. Swap files will be activated if you have created a swap. The Swappiness of the system will be set to 100.
I used custom install.sh and uninstall.sh. No need to worry. Your swap files, directory, boot-comp script will be removed when you uninstall the extension. You can use it by going to Gearlock > Extensions after installing.
Note : You need Gearlock 6 to use figlet or you may get figlet not found in the extension and installation script. I used figlet. So, It will look perfectly on Gearlock 6. You can even use this on lower versions too. But, the Cool Figlets (decorated Text) won't appear to you.
