Need Help

Hey peeps!

I have bought a new phone a few days ago, Lenovo a328, it's all cool and I like the device (screen,camera etc...)
I have to admit that I don't really know a lot about Android, the phone has 4GBs of internal memory, I knew the OS will take quite a bit of space but didn't know it will take 2.13GBs, and extra 445MBs some other data. So yeah my problem is the storage.... I have 1.23GBs available (without installing anything), my main problem is that I really really want to install a game (MKX) which is 1.59GBs big, so I can never download it from Play Store. So yesterday I said eh, no big deal, I'll go and buy an SD card, and so I did, got an 8GBs SD card... then went straight to the Play Store to download the game, and what you know, it says "Error downloading MORTAL KOMBAT X. There is insufficient space on external storage". I did check Storage menu and DEFAULT WRITE DISK is set to SD card. I have even rooted my device, with an app called KingRoot, because I thought it will help and gives you more control over your device, but I guess they meant something else with more control, it was a very straight forward operation, so I don't mind the rooting, but it just didn't do anything for me.

I am running Android 4.4.2 and I had a tablet with the same OS in the past, and it was great, had no problems at all, on my current phone I don't even have a "Move to SD card" button/option at Application menu, and also print screen button is nowhere to be found.

So yeah, most of all I would like to know if I can do anything about the storage in order to install the game, if anyone can help me out I'd be extremely happy. Thanks in advance.
 
The problem is that the app installs internally then "part" of it is moved to external.
There's an app 'Link2SD" that can maybe help you since you're rooted. I've never used it so read the instructions twice but I think it involves partitioning part of your sd card and fooling the phone into thinking it's internal.
That's the only advice I can give buddy. Good luck
