*
Oh your using go launcher. Go launcher have always been jerky to me compared to adw. Even though they keep improving it and frequent update but somehow they still cannot reach adw level of smoothness.

I am using SiyahKernal 2.1 Beta 13. From 12:45am to 6:45am, battery drain 2% which is good to me. Last time on Dafault ROM, it drain 6~8% over 6~8 hours.
*
Yeah beta 13 gave me similar drain of 2%. Now trying beta 14.

how hot are we talking about? Try downloading Battery Solo Widget and put it on your homescreen. Tapping it will tell you the temperature

All these battery widget only tells you the battery temperature. Not the cpu nor the screen. It is more accurate to stick a termostat on the screen. tongue.gif

my bad..but at least it helps guess roughly how high it's gone tongue.gif

I'm noticing something weird about my battery temperature: On VR I rarely hit 40 degress Celsius but on other roms, i usually go high 30s and quite often over 40s sad.gif
*
It depends if your using the phone or not. Playing games etc. Also if your charging from a low level example 20% it will draw alot more current and will be very hot. If your charging from let say 80% it will draw less current so will be cooler.

Are you using auto brigtness? Do not set the brightness to high. What were you doing when the screen becomes hot?

touch screen cant be helped le, you play game is it? i only felt unconfortable while playing high 3d games after some time, but once my thumbs get used to the heat, then i continue gaming xD
i shall consider adw, adw got nice nice transition effects ma? the bottom dock can scroll or not? you're using adw ex right?
*
Got transition about 7 or 8 or more forgot liau. Bottom dock if you use hidden dockbar can scroll. I am using Ex. But got less theme and no adw specific widgets. So you have to use other widgets.

so what other launchers are nice beside adw and go? hmm.gif

TW4 isn't that bad for me

There are alot in the market for you to try out. ADW, go and LP are the usual recommendations. TW is fast and smooth but may not be sufficient in functions for those of us that have use other launchers.

CWM backup can be found in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
It's better to copy the backup folder before you flash a ROM.

As for efs folder, I manually backup using Super Manager. Just copy the efs folder to your external_sd folder or somewhere else, then copy it to your pc/laptop.

For micro-SD card, I bought kingston 16GB class 4 with price of RM77, speed wise is not bad. I bought it without any research, then I found Kingston class 10 for RM80+ only  vmad.gif

kingston class 10 RM80?? sure or not? what size?

Choices of different screen transition, choices of different drawer scrolling, ability to hide status bar, gesture in homescreen, hidden dockbar (adw have this), scrollable icons in dockbar, ability to resize widget, ability to change number of widget in screen (example I can have 5 x5 instead of 4 x 4 in TW), themes, etc.

bro u used any other tweaks besides the ones listed in the first page? i remember reading a tweak about adw launcher in xda that edits the build.prop but i cant find it back ad sad.gif
yes, if you have the apk files you can use the Auto_Patch_APK_for_Samsung_by_Duero__include_Java_.exe to change most of the gameoft games to use the external_sd/Gl folder. there's a thread in xda, find it. you can move most games except a few new ones that just came out recently for the sgs2 like the dungeon hunter 2, nova 2, 9mm, backstab. if you can find older versions and got it to work, then you can use it in external. You use the patcher, patch the apk files, then you update the games with the patched apks, then it will start using sd data from external. As for other game's sd data, there's no choice. i using 32GB sandisk, class 4.

oh yea for the gameloft games, there's an APP in the market that can help you to run from external sd but i never try it before.
*
No i do not add any other tweaks.
