Could be the keyboard itself, if you're talking about swype, it has been having lag issues. For me the android keyboard and others have not had any issues

Well I'm using the stock android keyboard that came installed on dark side evo 2 and it lags whenever I type quickly

I've been using the Swype beta on all Evolution 2 Betas and no lag at all

I've noticed this also, Swype is the closest to no lag, but while "Swyping" occasionally the screen breaks and I wind up having an incomplete word.
I'm pretty sure that it's kernel issue, and hopefully will get updated once more stable releases come out.

I agree, I tried ICS keyboard, swype and swiftkey 3- all lagged...never had this issue with GB.

Glad it's just not my imagination then. I guess the only fix is to change roms but I don't wanna do that just yet because most of them have crap battery life and all of them have some sort of little bug. i don't wanna loose this stock build battery life, it's the best battery life I have EVER seen!! But this Keyboard lag is really starting to drive me crazy the more texting I do...and like you I have tried every keyboard on the market!

Swype lags even worse on jelly bean so if keyboard lag is an issue ,I suggest switching back to gingerbread

That's absurd... i had a epic 4G touch which is basically the same phone with a lesser processor and it was fine on ICS. So I know it's possible the roms just aren't there yet. To think this is just a problem we have to deal with is completely ridiculous.

Yeah, I get what you're saying there prevails to not be a fix. Just touchwiz in general.

it should work considering touchwiz has that same exact redraw lag.. i havent used touchwiz in a while cuz of the horrible experience and i just stay with go laucher.. but tw4 has been implemented with some nice features -__-

Why are so much apps so laggy?

I was so happy when I upgraded from a T-Mobile g2, but now I'm thinking it wasn't worth it
Everything was smooth on the g2 even if it was single core at 0.8ghz
When I use apps the scrolling isn't smooth at all, everything's so laggy, especially go launcher which I was using on the g2 without any problems
Do you guys think a future update will fix this?

I think it is a problem with Go Launcher not being updated for ICS..

I would say that there isn't many apps updated for ics yet.....only a few and that's why they don't run smooth....but I would guess that as more and more phones get ics, more and more apps will be updated too......at least that's what I think and hope......

The built in live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS except phase beam. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of others weren't either. Also.. if you are using a live wallpaper not optimized for ICS.. well there's your problem.
I'd bet, like most, that it hinges on the optimizations for ICS.
Keep in mind, ICS was a HUGE update (maybe not coming from 3.x but y'know) and app-devs have a ways to go before they're using the newer configs on all their apps. It'd be entertaining to see GB ported back over to the GN to see how well it ran.

So ADW Launcher finally updated

way back in the days of GB, adw was at the top, but lost its top spot due to lack of updates. But now its updated and i have to say, im impressed. Its not as smooth as nova yet, but i bet that will change in a future update since this is its first major release in forever (plus, if you install v6 supercharger script the lag dissapears). But its performance is so good i can defiantly use this over nova. I particularly like its widget picker, its different in a good way.They have an action bar feature thats new (to me anyway, dont know if theres something like it on other launchers). And theres also a resize screen option thats also neat, especially if your running paranoid android.
Unfortunatly i already found a bug. The dock dissapears into thin air at some point, and the only way to get it back is to reset adw settings. Im still investigating which option causes this bug, but i just thought i would put that out there.
Im also interested in knowing is this update enough for old users to love adw again
I'll just leave this here...

Hey cool, I was always torn between adw ex and launcher pro plus (LPP was a just a bit little smoother) before I got on ICS. Judging from the comments in the play store, it looks like the update ticked a lot of people off and is somewhat buggy, but I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out promptly. Good to see it's not dead

yea it is buggy. the app drawer is a big laggy with any transition and the dock bar likes to vanish, but i still find it useable and i love it. I havent gotten the chance to install v6 supercharger script to see if it helps with the drawer lag (i assume it will, since it did wonders to adw on ics). And im sure it will be updated regularly now, at least i hope it does.
Got the update this morning. Bought EX version a while ago. Tried it and yeah, new version is a little buggy. Hopefully they'll get it right.
I was using it on GB and JB builds up to FI03 then it got goofy. Had to switch to Nova.
Hopefully they can get it working right.

no kidding, he pushed out 2 updates for it already. Seems like development of it is in full swing again
Downloaded it after I saw this and I was disappointed. I bought EX way back on GB. Still needs work but getting there.

To fix the disappearing dock just simply go into settings and disable the secondary dock or its called hidden dock I think... then you'll be good to go..however u make it disappear is beyond me but I remember having this issue in the evo
I don't see options for he second dock..installed do like it.. but
Don't see the option

Was my launcher of choice on GB and below. When ICS launchers came out I started using those but they never allowed me the amount of customization I wanted, not until recently have they finally caught up.
Now that ADW is back, it is my main launcher again. It allows me so much customization and since I change screens and setups alot it's perfect for me.
It's very buggy. Since the update my widgets keep disappearing at random times, and my settings revert back. It's frustrating.

only working on JB right?
Can anyone mirror it? Link doesn't seem to agree with me...

android file host doesn't seem to be down...all servers up
Just wait 5 seconds on the download link. It's a problem with their mirror check.
i haven't tried it yet, but i read that it does work with 4.0+. here's a nice article i found: http://thedroidguy.com/2012/11/android-4-2-keyboard-and-clock-available-for-android-4-1-and-4-0/
Just 1 question how is this keyboard different from Swype? Never used it but many people seem to like it. So just curious.

it is just like swype, just looks like the normal default android keyboard. i do like how the word pops up while you are swyping it. seemed buggy on literom, would hang a lot when backspacing
That was neat. It's nice to see Google incorporate stuff like this straight into android. Likewise to the new quick toggles. However, I ran into a couple freezes that were bad enough to ruin the experience. Possibly because I'm still running ics.
Yeah its probably why. Made for JB.
some more 4.2 gapps may be coming (new clock app) soon!

This looks to be the same port I posted about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940677&page=31 (which admittedly belonged here and not there.) I love this keyboard and have it running on my ICS tablet just fine. I have tried this on two different Captivate Glides running CM10 beta 1, UCALJ3 by dbrannon79 and the UCALG leak with stock kernel as well as the lite kernel and on all of them it will run for a minute then freeze.
Is this running stably for anyone? I'd love to figure out why this won't work.
probably due to the samsung integration in the os ... u'll notice that it doesnt freeze in every app.... it freezes in stock sms app ... but also in handscent :s ... makes it kinda useless in ICS for me ....
Safe to flash over CM10 beta..?

I am having few issues with this keyboard sometimes..
Suddenly after few strokes the keyboard vanishes.. Do not get any error message..
Tapping near the blinking cursor also does not work.. I need to wait atleast 20-30 seconds for the keyboard to re-appear..
Not able to use Swype or Swype Beta Also.. Keyboard is crashing..
After downloading the zip and moving it to the phone, what exactly needs to be done? I figured it would just be an .apk file to install rather there are other folders as well.. Thank you!
perfect
This works perfectly on my Samsung galaxy s4 M919v and galaxy s2 t989D. Thanks alot dude . Don't forget the wipe dalvik cache!!!!!

Well first off you need to have a rooted device.
Step 2 u need to go into your recovery mode which is cmw or tdmb.
Then like any other file you are going to install it but not as an apk but as a zip file. So go to the location where you have the zip file downloaded in the install menu then just flash it. If you have any problems message me.
Great!
Thank you dude for the sharing!

Swype. Has anyone problem using it?

Since the upgrade to 4.2 I am having problems using Swype. It gets blocked when I switch it from default keyboard to swype one. I want to use it because swype support the languages that i need.
Has anyone the same problems and it's there a fix?
Thanks

I had to restore from a nandroid backup using Titanium backup. Every time I unlock the device I get a force close message or 2, but Swype functions normally thereafter. Tried to install using the install app provided for the beta program and nothing was available to install. I don't think they have caught up to 4.2 quite yet.

I wish i could port swype dictionary to the default 4.2 android keyboard....
When i try to reinstall it, the app installer doesn't let me choose a version also.
I believe that's a known issue. Hopefully Swype releases a fix for it soon.

I've been going back and forth between 4.2 keyboard and Swype.
I'm using an old themed version (no longer available) from djdarkknight.
you can try this version if you want.

Swype kept freezing my jelly bean rom so i switched to SwiftKey Flow beta and i'd argue that it's better than swype, stock was an absolute nightmare.. Just not as much detail put into it as swype and SwiftKey.

I just recently went from stock android 4.1 on my Galaxy Nexus to CyanogenMod 10 with android 4.2.1. I was using Swiftkey Flow before and now and the only difference I had was the color that shows up when you swype letters, it barely shows up on screen now.
Swype bumped the beta to 1.4 and seems to work quite well with 4.2.1. Adding to the custom dictionary is now functional too.

Between the pain-in-the-arse multistep install process and the glitches in the Swype beta, I've switched over to the stock 4.2 keyboard. I also tried Swiftkey 3. Uninstalled Swype a couple of months back and never regretted it. It's just too hard to setup and it refuses to work without a lot of tweaking.

Swype had a lot of problems with 4.2.1 roms, but they have already released new version 3 days ago and it works fine for me now.just check their web.
