Hi there,
Unfortunately total RAM is pretty much irrelevant to apps.
Android has an automatic RAM usage cap for blocklists. If this limit is reached this may result in crashes and or the app simply not properly working. Unluckily there’s no way to circumvent this. The RAM limit varies from device to device but is normally a maximum of 256mb per app. Samsung tends to be more restrictive towards this than others. Unluckily there is no way to precisely pinpoint the cap on your device since its up to the system how it allocates its resources hence games get more ram to use as other apps.
V5 isn’t just a reskin hence it tends to perform better and be less battery and ram heavy. RAM caps don’t apply anymore either. Here’s the host counter and ram stats feature request. V5 does not exceed limits anymore. [Feature request] Host counter and RAM size
V5 is a complete rewrite of v4 with very little to no code carried over. Its engine therefore is a lot more futureproof to us and enables us to increase the amount of features over time. The UI offers way more space to add new features as well.
It might be possible to upgrade seamlessly from v4 to v5. If you’ve downloaded v4 from our website and download v5 from our website next they should install next to each other and not overwrite each other.
If you then start v5 your custom rules should be there as well so you can (and definitely should) uninstall v4 before actually starting to use v5
