Caliper dragging?? It is normal for new pads and or a new rotor to smoke the 1st day or so. But it sounds like a caliper is dragging, no other reason for them to get excessively hot in normal braking situations. Hopefully you auto-bled the ABS Module to properly bleed the system, using a capable device/scanner.
