Customizing your ViMusic app with your own preferences like theme, layout, playback settings and playlist management can greatly improve your music experience. But what if you switch phones or uninstall the app? Thankfully, ViMusic allows you to back up and restore your settings easily.

In this guide, we will walk you through how to backup and restore ViMusic settings on Android so you never lose your custom configuration.

Why Backing Up ViMusic Settings Is Important

ViMusic offers a lightweight and customizable interface. Users often tweak:

  • Themes (Light, Dark, AMOLED)
  • Equalizer settings
  • Playlist order
  • Offline song storage
  • Custom UI layouts

Backing up ensures you do not have to redo all your preferences when reinstalling the app or switching devices.

  1. Open the ViMusic App.
  2. Tap the three dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Go to Settings > then scroll down to Export Settings.
  4. Tap Export Configuration.
  5. ViMusic will generate a backup file (usually named vimusic_settings.json).
  6. Save this file in a safe location, like:
