Android 5.1;
CPU = 6592;
Vendor = MediaTek;
Cores = 8;
Family = Cortex-A7;
Mode = 32-bit;
Machine = armv7l;
ABI = armeabi-v7a;
Instructions = swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt;
Revision = r0p4;
Memory =
- RAM: 1 GB LPDDR2;
- Internal storage /storage/sdcard1: Total 12.22 GiB;
- External storage /storage/sdcard0: Total 238.24 GiB plugged in addition.

I did buy this External SD-card /storage/sdcard0: Total 238.24 GiB ( SanDisk 256 GB ) because I need more RAM and more storage.

I have a: USB - Micro Card Reader, that I can put + SD-Card on a Desktop computer with Manjaro Linux, and could make additional swap partition on the SanDisk 256 => 240 GB for storage and 16 GB for swap.

How to setup the Tablet to use Swap partition may be 16 GB on /storage/sdcard0 ?

there are apps you can use to do that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ore.swapnoroot but I'm afraid you can't find anything for android 5.1.

( Is it possible to be replaced Android 5.1 with any regular Linux ? )
