Android Rooting and partition, RAM increase

Does anybody know how to increase ram on an android? particularly an optimus f6? Ive already rooted and partitioned. im just missing something to make it work like how i intend and i have no luck. Ive installed link2sd, supersu, ande other apps. when i go to link2sd and go to the apk links, the youtube vid i saw shows a link for 1mobile??? not sure what the full name was, but he clicks it and he links it manually to the sd card and thats the step i keep messing up on because i dont have it. help if anyone knows please?

RAM is hardware that's on the phone's motherboard. It can't be increased unfortunately. Are you trying to use the SD card as RAM? What do you need more RAM for?

I was like WTF but googled it and apparently it's a thing. Curious why you didn't ask in the Android thread.
