We are so pleased to announce that Comodo Mobile Security (CMS) v1.3.20002.6 beta on Android is now released on forum. In this version, we added Backup feature and made some improvement.
What’s NEW?
Backup feature allows you to backup/restore Apps, Contacts, SMS Messages, Private Space and CMS Configuration to/from the SD card.
What’s improved?
Enhanced the virus data base to cover latest malware.
We sincerely hope that all of you can continuously support our CMS and let’s looking forwards to new coming features!
Thanks for the release :). The backup feature sounds like a great idea :-TU.
Can you explain a little how the backup feature works. Say for example, I re-install a new rom (say CM7) and I’ve taken a backup of my contacts, apps, etc. Can I use CMS to restore apps/configuration as they were prior to installing CM7?
I have noticed that backed up apps appear individually as *.apk files. Not knowing anything about this format, do these files store the apps configuration as well? (within *.apk file). If so, to keep things tidy/secure, maybe backup all apps into one file (say apps.cms). This file can then only be opened/accessed within CMS and the required apps restored.
A scheduling option for apps/contacts could be usefull. Say, automatically backup daily, weekly, monthly, etc to SD card.
There is a stand alone app (or can be a plug-in for AppBrain) called Ad Detector.
This also shows what you are describing. This does not have to be running 24/7. It can be disabled and run only on demand.
Something like this I can go for provided I have the option to use it only on demand if I wish.
