KitKat link play store cache to external sd (root) topic
Im new here and I've been searching for a solution to the play store telling me i need more space.. And I have found it out myself. Like I said, I am new.
So, let's get started.
First, download terminal emulator if you haven't already.
Next, grant superuser permissions by typing su.
Now, make a folder in the directory of your SD card.. For this, use mkdir. I named it play.
My SD card was located in the directory of /sdcard. So, I used the command mkdir /sdcard/play
After that, you will be removing the folder that the Google Play Store downloads files in
and symlinking that folder to your SD card.
So, type the command cd /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads
Then after that command, type rm -r cache
After that, symlink the cache folder to the sdcard.
ln -s /(insert your sdcard folder here)/play(or whatever you named your folder)
Bam. Done.
Now, this will not move all app data and stuff to the sdcard,
This will only make the Play Store download the app you are trying to get to the SD.
Therefore bypassing the not enough space error
To sum all of the commands up, how I used them...
su
mkdir /sdcard/play
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads
rm -r cache
ln -s /sdcard/play cache
Done.
Note: this probably won't work with all phones, my phone is an LG L70 although my old LG (android 2.2) I tried to do this on had the SAME FILE that Play Store downloads to.. AKA downloadfile.apk.
I am not sure if it was in the same location, so I'm saying KitKat just to be safe.
Thank you!
