That's more of a market problem. Play store is not recognizing the free space for this app. It happened to me a few times on my SGS1. Do you have an SD card? Try switching to installing apps to that. And then switch it back to your ext SD later.
i didnt download it from play store, i downloaded it trough laptop,copied the file to my sgs3,and tried to install,but nothing works yes i have a ext sd,but how do i change it? i 'm not able to find the place where you can switch the install dir for your apps?
Try do download it from playstore instead.
Is it possible to move the system apps to sd card using link2SD ?
No. You can convert system apps to user apps then move them. At your own risk...
Yea
If you have a rooted phone and realy want to force your phone apps to be moved on sd storage you may be successfull but than you dont have any guarantee that they´ll work as they should because in some case it is evident to be on phone storage
Further it may cause system crashes if the sd card is dismounted or interrupted in some way because the system in system apps means that they´re workin on the system =)
Hi. My question is:
I have copy all the .apk from \system\app of my mobile. Can I uninstall these one with link2sd and after that run the apk from my saving to force them via link2sd to install on a partition from sd card ?
And in the apk there is some system apps (ok for google apps like youtube).
Thanks in advance for your replies.
dont. it will brick your phone
Which is the best and EASIEST program to do that on rooted mobile phones?
I use link2sd to link app, dalvik (dex), lib and data files of all 3rd party apps that I install to my SD card to keep the internal memory clean and save space. Most of the apps work but some apps like Subway Surfers, Rail Rush, etc. stop working after linking everything and REBOOTING the phone. Until I reboot, it works but not after that. When I try to launch them, I get "[app] has stopped working error". 95% of the linked apps work totally fine. Problem is only with some apps (these apps that are troublesome are mostly the ones that automatically get installed to the SD card. But even if they do, only apk is stored on SD card and the dex, lib, data are still on the internal memory so I still need to use Link2SD).
Any solutions? Or workarounds?

Install these minority of apps as the developer intended? , if it's only a few apps it's hardly going to swamp your internal memory.

Yeah its just a few but I'm afraid I wanna keep more such apps in future which might behave this way. As far as it seems, this problem is only with some of those apps which automatically get installed to the SD card (like subway surfers). I found a workaround that seems to be working. Firstly the app needs to be moved to the internal memory before linking (which I already did before). But there are two ways to do this: One through the Android system (Settings -> Apps -> SD card -> Select app -> Move to phone) and other by using the Link2SD app (Select app -> Move to phone). The second option solves the problem. If the app is moved to phone using Android system, then linked to SD card and rebooted, apps stop working. So, its needed to move it to phone using link2sd.
I rooted my phone yesterday and installed foldermount so i can store large games on SD card. It's working fine with apps less than 500mb because i only have 500mb available in SD card. First I have to download the big games into internal, then move them to Sd card using foldermount to free up space in internal memory.
However, i cannot do so with very large games like Asphalt 8 because i don't have 1.5 gb free space in the first place. Please give me some advice.
Download asphalt 8 data,apk from sites like http://onhax.net/asphalt-8-airborne-apk or something else(you can get many sites by searching in google)
then proceed same way you did before..

In my opinion Link2SD is the best app to solve the problem of low internal memory, it works great for me. Take a high speed class SD card and create two partitions (FAT32 and EXT4) using Minitool Partition WIzard or Gparted if you use Linux. And then download and install Link2SD from PlayStore. Run the app and link everything to SDCARD (ext4 partition). I advice you to buy the plus version because it allows to link the internal data too, so more free memory.
About the installation of large games like Asphalt. Well, Link2Sd allows to link the game (or any app) automatically on SdCard once you finished to install it from PlayStore. Just go on the settings and select "auto link".
There's a good video on youtube on how to use the app. Just search: "How to use link2sd to move apps to 2nd partition(SD card)"
Of course other videos are great too, but this is one of the best imho

Thanks for the reply. Thing is, i can't install asphalt 8 from play store in the first place because it needs 1.4 Gb and i only have 500mb free internal memory. I need a way to download it directly to the linked folder in SD card.
I also tried downloading apk and obb, but still I have to first copy the large obb in internal memory, then link it to SD card, which is not possible due to low internal memory.
Install xposed and xinternalSD, he download data/obb automatically to the sd, and use Link2SD to link all applications. I use these methods, and I have 1.37 GB free memory. but I have apps 2,8GB.
I made a video teaching how to configure xinternalsd in kitkat, but is the same configuration in Lollipop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ-SeWG3dVQ
(Sorry my bad english)

Oh you mean in the first moment, now I understand. Sorry, my mistake
Btw you're right, because at this point it's even impossible to download the game from PlayStore. Well, I think the only way is to remove all the bloatwares and apps you don't use. And through Link2SD link all the installed apps you can to SD. Once you have more free space and you reached about 1.5gb try to install the game (and link it to sd). You can also consider to try a custom rom if you are not using it, generally speaking it has more free space than stock rom.

It sounds great, I've never tried the xposed solution. Good to know, I'll consider it if I'll need. Thank you very much, and thanks for the video too

I just recently rooted my device and i am very inexperienced with these stuff. I'm not sure I'm ready to mess with custom recovery and Xposed modules right now, but it sure seems like it's the solution i need. Anyway, I'll try to search for easier alternatives, but if i can't, I'll have to use this one.

Ok, I installed link2sd, partitioned my SD card and sent ALL my downloaded apps to the partition in SD card. I now have 1.3 GB free in my internal, but to download asphalt 8, I need 1.6 GB free.
I know that i can also remove pre-installed apps, but i'm not sure about it. Please tell me if it's safe to move/remove the following apps:
-Hangouts
-Google Play Newsstand
-Google Play movies and TV
-Motorola Assist
-Motorola Alert
-Motorola Migrate
-Google Play Music

Yes you can, I removed all of them.
To uninstall you can also use "system app remover", download it from Play Store

I uninstalled some pre-installed apps, still I didn't have enough space. So, i dug around the internet some more and finally found the solution!
You can actually use foldermount to install large obb files DIRECTLY INTO SD CARD instead of just moving them from internal to SD card. Link2SD only allows us to move from internal to SD, but foldermount did the trick!
However, Link2SD allows me to transfer Apk, Dex, Lib and internal files as well, so I guess I'm keeping them both! Thanks again for recommending Link2Sd for me.
I haven't tested with Asphalt 8 yet, but it works with NFS Most Wanted, wich is over 2GB in size.

You're welcome
Yeah FolderMount is good too. It depends on what we have to do. I'm currently using Link2sd because it works great for me but other solutions (like the one proposed by brundark) are always welcome. By the way I'm glad you solved the issue
For asphalt 8 download the game from pc or on ur friends or family member's phone..who have more inbuilt memory..then transfer the obb & apk to ur sd card..n install apk n place the obb accordingly. will work like charm.
n regarding how to run obb files from sd card..just download "obb to sd " from xposed.. app in KB size.. so u dont have to install folder mouny n do evetything manually..this module does everything on its own.. i play big Gameloft n EA games easily.

Thanks for the help, but I'm sticking with foldermount now, since size isn't my biggest issue. I'm also new to these stuff, so I'll save Xposed for later. I don't really feel like trying everything at once, and theres so many things to try out there!(I haven't even flashed a custom rom yet)
