I had miserable lag and battery life on 4.2.1. I tried every solution presented here. I flashed in every way imaginable. I did factory resets, wipes, etc, and nothing worked.
Then I downgraded to 4.1.1 and I had no more lag and got my battery life back.
I haven't even noticed a difference between the functionality of 4.2.1 and 4.1.1. Seriously! Try it!
OK.
For me battery life improved with 4.2.1 (as good with stock kernel as with Franco on 4.1.2) and I have had no issues.
Looks like I'm one of the few that didn't had any problem with 4.2.1, battery seems good as usual, no Bluetooth problem either, no lag.
I'm using everything stock and when I need to re-flash the room I use the 4.0.3 ROM.

This is why I didn't upgrade until I looked at what people were saying about the update. Good thing I use a custom rom so I don't have to be nagged about it.
the problem on 4.2.1 isn´t solved^^
but same here xD i´m using 4.1.2.
got this combination:
-jellybro 4.1.2
-new camera+gallery ->4.2.1
-new clock ->4.2.1
-franco kernel 300
so i got the benefits of 4.2.1 and the performance of 4.1.2
new lockscreen of 4.2.1 is senseless in any way. performance is better on 4.1.2.
the only thing i like on 4.2.1 is the cam and the clock and i got them on 4.1.2
got great batterylife, usually 3,5h displaytime. uninstalled unnecessary things. made a few synchro-optimazations and i am very happy. disabled the transitionseffects as well, no need if apps are opened up nearly instantly

LOL, please don't suggest this to anyone. There is no methodical approach to what you've done - or atleast you didn't specify what it was.
And, since there isn't one, this is a completely blind approach at fixing an issue.

4.2.1 will eventually fly no doubt, but like many others my nexus suffers from the SOD no matter what kernel I try.
I'm back on rascarlo 4.1.2 /w franco #300 and my battery must be at least 30% better off, but more importantly not one SOD/lag in sight.

Flash 4.2.1 on your device, leave all stock apps on there and see what happens. Whatever is happening is probably caused by some 3rd-party application that isn't fully supported on 4.2.1.

I just suggested to you on the 1st page that you can try... Flash 4.2.1, don't install any 3rd-party applications for several days. If you're SoD-free, then try installing your apps one by one to narrow it down.
You also failed to provide any logcats.

The only SoD i had was when used google maps for navigation. Had to pull the battery. And actually that is the only one i have heard off.
Except of that i have been SoD free with atleast 5 different kernels on stock 4.2.1 with about 100 apps.
The only reason for the kernels change was to find the best for battery.

To add on to this. I'm noticing FAR fewer wakeups (alarms) caused by Maps services on 4.1.2. That has an impact regardless of whether or not Google Now is running.
They definitely made some changes to location based services considering the menus were modified and additional settings were added.
Using a custom ROM and kernel so I can't answer this. But my battery life using CM10 + Franco Kernel has definitely improved.

I logged in hoping someone had made a topic about this. On 4.1.1 I did not use Google Now because of the effect on battery life it caused. I tried it on 4.1.2 hoping it had improved. In my opinion it did. Still need more days to test but it seems way better now. Even saying that, I still feel it takes too much of a hit on battery for me to continue using it.
Just my 2 cents.

What's everyone's opinion on the performance difference between 4.1 and 4.2? So far my benchmark score are a little lower but the phone feels smoother. Of course I'm also drunk. Could be a factor.
Mine stutters a lot after the update, not sure what's causing it.
I don't see 4.2 as any faster, or slower than 4.1.
It was overall smooth from factory image. It's Android Jelly Bean, what do you expect? You can install it your self and find out.

I think that they are equally smooth on stock ROM and settings but 4.1.2 was a lot smoother with franco kernel and a custom ROM.

I would try the new 4.2.2 Carbon Rom. I am running the newest AK kernel (you may have to flash GPU binaries for any of the true 4.2.2 kernels). But I tried the bundled kernel and Morfic Kernels (4.2.1) before I flashed the binaries and in all instances THIS ROM WAS EXCELLENT!
No noticeable lag, recents screen worked great, and battery was a bit better than any of the 4.2.1 Roms I tried (Purity, Evolution, LS and Carbon included).
Give it a shot you wont regret it. I clean flashed Carbon 1.0 two weeks ago and then dirty flashed 1.1 Friday. If you're having lag issues I would do at least one full wipe...
I'm having the same problem on carbon and pa3. I can't tell if it is an app issue or rom/kernel related. After 12-24 hours, the lag gets terrible!

try greenify to prevent unwanted apps running in the background. it really helps when it comes to multitasking and battery life: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...biflipde&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=blog
what kernels do is mostly placebo i think. They are only good for added functionality like OTG or screen calibration, not for performance.
i had issues like that when i first flashed a 4.2 rom, tried a few and all were terrible and had reboots. finnally had the idea to wipe sd storage along with everything else and all 4.2 roms i have used since have been like butter. i always flash ak kernel.

What is the CPU temperature when you notice the most lag? The nexus has thermal throttling to save our phones from melting in our hands. It could be the culprit... Or at least a part of it.

so finally some other people get this problem... having this issie for quite some time now as soon as i use something else than pure stock.
after a reboot it runs really smooth but the cpu usage for everything is always extremly high on custom roms/kernels and locks up the device if some io operations happen.
on pure stock it never locked up.
since i have no knowledge about finding the culprint i can only hope that some dev will get that issue and travk it down.

I have no idea why but when 4.2.2-based ROMs came out, my phone started to run like garbage. Slowdowns, lag, memory leaks, you name it, it happened. And it seemed to have started with 4.2.2. I don't ever remember this being a problem with 4.1.2-based ROMs.
So I ask... has anyone else experienced these issues? Does your phone run like garbage on 4.2.2-based ROMs?
I've been thinking of going back to a 4.1.2-based ROM just to try and get back some of the speed that my phone used to have. There are times I want to throw this thing against the wall because lately trying to get it to do anything without seriously bad lag is like trying to pull teeth.
You people overreact to everything. If its so bad, and you knew it was going to be bad, then why in the world did y'all upgrade to 4.2.2?
Try UDKs ROM, works fine for me
I'm thinking that 4.2.2 may be too heavy for the hardware of the Galaxy Nexus. 4.1.2 never was this slow and laggy on this phone.

Does it not even lag after running it for a few days without reboot? That is the issue many people are seeing and 4.2.2 is smoother than ICS for the most part except the recents may sometimes lag worse on 4.2.2. The worse part of ICS was the unlock lag with auto brightness on.

4.2.2 is running super smooth for me. I dont know what all these people having issues is all about. It all depends on what ROM you use, and also could be the recovery you use. If your using an old recovery, it may not be wiping stuff right before flashing. A lot of factors go into a phone running crappy. Dont blame it all on 4.2.2.

This issue only happens on custom roms because its an issue with stock though maybe less noticeable there.
But as far as the OPs comments, if you're annoyed by 4.2.2 so much then switch back to 4.1.2 if you like it better.

Not really. Try not to reboot your 4.2.2-based rom for 2-3 days and you'll see the real smoothness (Sometimes it take couple of hours sometimes couple of days to reproduce the issue). I've tested 6 roms so far including non-rooted, slimmed stock - Low fps scrolling issue appears on every single one, clean install and always updated twrp recovery.
I think android 4.2.2 is an interesting project and it works not that bad. However there are some annoying bugs there. I don't use WIFi tethering or BT and I know how to deal with scrolling lag so it doesn't bother me that much. I can patiently wait for fix but problems exist and full wipe will not solve them.
my only issue is the battery drain lol thats all

Cm10.1 is not bad indeed (I am running it now and I'm pretty much enjoying it) but 4.1.2 based roms like cna 3.8.0 or cm10 are by far smoother. If you want to see the difference in smoothness go to application drawer (widget tab) and swipe left or right. On every 4.2.2 based rom swiping there is more or less but still kinda choppy.... On two 4.1.2 roms I mentioned above it's almost perfect. Small thing.

in my case it was franco kernel that caused the super bad performance.
the problem was coming from write performance which caused cpu overloading and locking down the device. this got worse after some time without reboot ~2days.
i did a clean install of sourcery rom with cmw (twrp seems to leave some stuff behind which will cause the lag again?) and so far my device is up for some time without any slowdowns.
maybe you once installed a kernel and use twrp which never got you a clean rom again? hope that helps some of you troubled ones.

So today I decided to "downgrade" back to 4.1.2 after 4.2.2, and it's almost mindboggling how much faster and smoother it is. After switching back it feels like there is so much lag everywhere in all 4.2 versions, like what was google thinking? Oh well, I changed some of the apps to 4.2 versions, and now i have a 4.2 clone with the speed and smoothness of 4.1.2
I don't find 4.2 much slower, but I sure miss the bluetooth not disconnecting every time I turn the screen off.
I mean seriously...I force my screen to stay on it'll stay connected to my motoactv just fine. The SECOND I turn the screen off my connection dies.
Debating reverting to 4.1.2 solely for this reason.

After switching back it feels like there is so much lag everywhere in all 4.2 versions, like what was google thinking?

What's your current ROM setup? Are you on plain stock?
In terms of responsiveness I would try CyanogenMod with a custom kernel. AK Kernel has a lot of performance improvements into it. Battery life is almost doubled as well. A good kernel makes all the difference.

Good. You don't know the difference, until you go back to it from 4.2, then you realize 4.2 in every ****ing variation is just a turd. I have a phone to make my life easier, not frustrating.

I tried every kernel, air kernel, diamond, purity from arakia, franco, along with roms from xenon to pure cyanogenmod to paranoidandroid. All of them had lag no matter what kernel/rom combo i used. 4.2.1 is a lot smoother, but still pales in comparison to 4.1.2.
Sounds interesting. Could you point me to a thread on how to downgrade galaxy nexus from 4.2 back to 4.1
?
Thanks

Well apparently there's a bunch of threads going around about how in 4.2.2 Google increased the heap size (whatever that is) settings from 64mb and 256mb to 96mb and 384mb. Closer to Nexus 7 spec.
whatever settings got changed has been causing a ton of lag.

Have you tried this? Might help with some lag issues
LagFix
It's certainly helped me "cope" with the lag in 4.2.x
Let us know.
Thanks

Your 4.2 lagginess could be related to what I found out and posted here
I'm back on AOKP 4.1.2 and it's honestly smoother than the current AOKP Milestone 1, and that ROM is pretty smooth. I'm liking 4.1.2 better than 4.2.2 honestly, the old camera app is so much better. Also like the old recent apps behavior vs the new one.

I did EXACTLY the same thing today, and so glad that I did. Much smoother and a much more responsive camera that just makes more sense.

So if we downgrade to 4.1.2 all the Google apps will update and behave the same way they do 4.2.2?

Yes, they should as they're independent of the ROM.

To downgrade, just flash a 4.1.2 Rom. You'll have to move all of your data up from the data/media/0 folder though.
I actually just went back to 4.2.1 and there is a huge difference from 4.2.2. And I tried every and I mean every combo. Some were good but just not as polished overall. Can't bring myself to go back to 4.1.2. I like the overall aesthetic changes 4.2 brought.

I'm running BAKED8 with Faux 28M and my blue tooth works fine, no disconnects. I use a MotoRokr headset at the gym.

i dont get any lag on rasbeanjelly except for the notification pull down, should try it, dont really need to go to 4.1.2
Problem if you go back to 412 is you cant get rid of the update notification to 42...if we could turn off the updates
