[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
I don't think he was mentioning parnoid - I think he was referring to the swapit app. It's called ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP).

Kinda steep in regards to price (almost $9!!!) but it easily let you configure it any size you like (256mb is usually the max extra you'll ever need/want for the swap in regards to the Galaxy Players) and it's very simple to use (and you can force it on startup too). Internal SD card is supported but it's highly suggested to use an external sd card , preferrably a class 10 card that does at least 6mb's r/w to take advantage of the app/swap process. I have a 64gb (converted SDXC to SDHC) class 6 and it's not enough to speed up properly (4mb's r/w).

Would like to note that while both players are great they both serve different people' tastes. The 5" on the 5.0 is large and easy on the eyes as you have less strain and squinting/pinching to zoom, excellent screen choice for video's. The 5.0 is also the only Samsung Galaxy Player that still has an active rom development and TABLET MODE (fantastic feature). It is also the only Galaxy Player with a working ICS Rom (REAL) despite the bugs. My only qualm of me not getting the 5.0 is that I'm more of a audio quality fanatic and while the yamaha dac may sound great for many - especially with beats software driver being the only way to improve audio (which is subjective, headphones/amps aside) it really can't touch the audio quality provided by the Wolfson Dac with the Voodoo hardware driver. The 4.0 is a bit more pocketable too, which can be fought all day by the 5.0 crowd but the size itself speaks for itself. The LCD's are also different and comparing them side by side, you'll find that the 4.0 is a lot clearer/sharper than the 5.0. Having a removable battery is a plus in case the stock one dies or you want a bigger capacity, the 5.0 is not able to do this - although it already has a large battery already in the 5.0 (which has outstanding battery life). The 4.0 rom devlopment has recently screeched to a stop, all prior devs have moved to phones or tablets and are just not heard from anymore or rarely. Hanthesolo and his team are all that's left, and to some degree the best we got due to him and his team are the only ones taking a crack at trying to prove Samsung wrong that ICS CAN exist on the 4.0. We all wait with bated breath for a fully functional ICS rom on the 4.0 and the best are behind it, developing it at a fast rate, and probably the best effort ever on any Galaxy player.

So that's why I have the 4.0. Despite the huge advancements to both though, the inevitable happens to both and we either blame Samsung or Gingerbread in general - the ram is killed/eaten up super fast to the point that a restart will eventually always be needed. ICS rom's here do improve/fix the problem to some degree but in all honest 512mb's just doesn't cut it anymore due to the recent hungry apps we use on the daily now.

So while I love my 4.0, can't wait for the ICS rom... I also can't wait for the next Samsung Galaxy Player, crossing my fingers that the Korean only 5.8 model floats around the world eventually. I 100% believe that the rom community will eat that thing as soon as it becomes available on their plate, Root and all shortly after...
