How to migrate

❓ What is this?

@knighthat releases a feature on old Kreate (improvised and upstream flavor) that allows user to seamlessly move their caches, database(s), and settings to new Kreate without breaking a sweat.

Old Kreate will stop receving updates after Mar 16 2025, unless it's related to migration issue.

note

Old Kreate will work, we don't break software to force update.

warning

External API such as YouTube Music API will stop working one day, we can't do nothing about it, updating software to new version is the only way.

🤔 Should I migrate my data?

If you have more than a few dozens of songs cached or downloaded, or you have all settings setup to your need and you don't feel like setting them up again, then the answer is YES!

If you are trying out the app and have not many to lose, I'd advise against it.

note

If you are not on improvised or upstream build, you are not required to migrate.

🛠️ Create migration file

1. Go to Settings > Data and look for Create backup for migration.

   

   

   

2. Name your backup

   tip

   Default name will be assigned if you hit confirm with empty value

   

3. Select location

   This is where your migration file is saved to, remember it

   note

   Each device has their own interface. But it should have some resemblance to the illustration below

   

📥 Import migration file

1. Install new Kreate

   Remember to download Kreate-full.apk or Kreate-upstream.apk only.

   

2. Go to Settings > Data and look for Create backup for migration.

   

   

   

3. Select migration file

   

4. Restart your app

   warning

   Failure to restart your app may cause data corruption

   

🗑️ Delete old Kreate (optional)

You can safely delete your old Kreate and move on to new app.

But my advice is to use new Kreate for few days to detect any anomaly before completely delete old Kreate
