How to install apps from Google play to SD ?

adb shell
su
pm set-install-location 0
exit
exit
You're not being clear saying "get superuser permissions on that."

The su command at the shell requires a rooted phone, yeah?

pm set-install-location 0
^ Means to use the auto location, typically internal storage, so that's a reset from 2, external storage.

Have you tried that command on this phone? :confused:

I set it to external with link2sd but still said insufficient storage evn though ive got 5gb free and 400mb free on internal
 
you have to partition your sdcard to use link2sd after partitioning you have to set the install location to auto to make link2sd recognize the second partition to install your apps on it
Yes i have that but i do nont have the internal storage for google play to download the files (1.3gb) before it installs to sd. So can i get gp to download the cache files for the install to my sd and miss out internal mem completely
 
Earlymoon is right. Thing is, the above command serves to install APP to sd, but not data (obb files and such). Techically it should do that, but it scans internal before that anyway, and if there's insufficient storage, it will abort the install.

Long story short, to install directly from google play, best solution is to disable internal (emulated) memory by patch. AFAIK, there's only one guy now who makes disablers for cm12.1, but I'm not totally sure.
Honestly, L70 just isn't fit to play AAA games. Best solution is to buy a better phone with larger internal memory, because even if you disable internal memory and install game on sd card, you'll have some serious lag unless you're using class 10 sd card. Even then, the rest of hardware just can't keep up.

EDIT:
All 5.1 roms now have option in applications which does the same exact thing as pm set install blah blah blah
 
I had asphalt 8 on it with foldermoubt and itworks fine. The hardware is ok. I just want to beable to update it from play not manuly update with foldermount.
