Titanium Backup cannot back up the modules, and once we get the 4.4.3 or maybe 4.5 or 5.0, when the kernel are updated, the APP will be just useless if the modules are not going to be updated, so it doesnot worth buying it from now on, even if the APP is 99% off now:eek:

Thanks @bponury for this excellent app. Never thought this would come to an end. I was searching for some solution after this application is completely disabled and I came across this software:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.fjss.s2w

This lets us enable/disable kernel's inbuilt s2w features and disable the touch screen during call, which is all that I use. The remaining features of this amazing software cannot be found anywhere else.

    ________________ FAQ
    1. will it work on kernel X
      It is made to work on stock kernel. It might work on kernels which are close to stock. I will however try to find a way to make it as compatible as possible. I'm going to assume that you can safely try this mod on your kernel (but don't enable set-on-boot) worst case scenario is a reboot.

    2. does this consume battery
      Short answer - Maybe.
      Long answer - this might bring some drain, some users report quite a big battery drain some not, I will address this issue in some time. Check yourself how much an issue it is for you. Also this change from device to device so there is no short answer (look up)

    3. will it break my touchscreen
      Short answer - No
      Long answer - Digitizer is not mechanical so it shouldn't break. The same mod works for more then 2 years on my Galaxy Nexus and it never lost a bit of it's responsiveness

    4. why do I have to pay
      Why did you pay for your phone? You did save a few bucks on the phone which was cheap. Now is your chance to make those savings worthy ;)

    5. if I want to marry you where can I find you?
      Oh... this question meant to go somewhere else ;P And I'm taken.

    I am working on a few things at the same time. First is a new version of touchcontrol (and I mean a maaaajor upgrade). Second is the standby-drain problem and I'm gradually getting to know where it lies :) But it takes time to track because I have to wait a few hours to see if I am going in the right direction. Consider you are walking in the night with a walkie-talkie and can't see a thing. And someone tells you each 5 hours that you either should go left or right :) That's why it's taking so much time.

    NEW VERSION - 1.6g

    This time I've fixed latest franco nightly support as well as added Air kernel support. Please beware v1.6f was posted on play store for a few minutes but it had a bug in it! So wait for 1.6g
