Yes, thats pretty standard across all ics roms - don't know why they did that, makes it hard to scroll.
But i don't know if I would call that touch sensitivity, maybe more like "scrolling momentum"

I noticed the sensitivity could be adjusted under the galaxy s2 settings located in the app drawer.

I wonder if it's one of the changes they made along with removing the 'bounce' feedback you get when you hit the end of a scroll due to complaints from Apple.

Keyboard lag fix

So I have a question for you fine folks on xda. Its goes like this everytime I try to use a keyboard besides the stock keyboard and swyoe I have keyboard lag where it will miss a letter or two. I am wanting to know if there is a governor or some settings for on demand that will cure this problem. The keyboard I'm currently trying to get to be smooth is smartkeyboard.

Yea I get lag initially when using my keyboard after deep sleeping. The "pop up" of keys usually lags. I'm using the ported ics keyboard by jontanmi.
I think the problem is nice settings (and how its stored in ram and cache). I believe loopy_smoothness tweak helped when I added my keyboard to a higher priority

No problems here, and I'm not messing around with any weird priority tweaks.
Drink less, then your liver will give less hepatic feedback.

That made me laugh. Love what creative people do with typos.
The issue of keyboard lag on third-party keyboards has always been a pet peeve of mine. As far as layout and functionality, the keyboard I like the most is Smart Keyboard Pro, but the lag is just too much for me to tolerate. I have found, however, a few other keyboards that work a lot faster:
Perfect Keyboard
A.I.type Keyboard
Better Keyboard 8
My favorite of those is Perfect Keyboard.

Smoothest Home Screen Yet!

GO Launcher v2.87 Beta.. just came out.. highly recommended!
The last one was great.. but this one takes the smoothness level to a whole new level.
My home screen is cluttered with icons.. but is finally stutter free !

Just installed. Very smooth indeed.
Do a long press on home screen ... menus are now more GUI as well.

I still prefer ADW for gingerbread and Apex for ICS roms. Seems like go launcher always sucked extra battery on my devices.

Love the newest update soooo smooth.

Wow its definitely a LOT faster on my Note.
The only thing that bugs me is the smooth/slow transition when launching apps. Compared to Apex in which the apps launch very quickly. It's like Go launcher is almost toooo smooth in that respect.
I'll also monitor battery use via "bad assbattery monitor" since the last version definitely used more battery than other launchers.
It is my favorite launcher even though I switched to Apex the last week. I'll give Go another try

I just installed the beta and I don't notice any difference at all. That being said, go launcher is my favorite Gab launcher and definitely smoother than all of them except touchwiz.

Take a read thru the description on the blog, all the changes are there.
Namely, the major change I like is the new method for adding shortcuts, widgets, etc. Long press any empty area on the screen and instead of the ugly menu, a list is displayed at the bottom.
Also, the app drawer (the screen that shows the list of apps) is also much better.
Is it more fluid/smooth/faster? Eh...
It could still be better but its never going to be as smooth as IOS due to how Android works vs IOS. Android physically moves each pixel around on the screen using 'math' to determine where each pixel should be drawn, one pixel at a time, then draws the frame, repeating frame by frame where as IOS uses pre-processed pictures in rapid succession similar to how film on a projector works.
Downloading now can't wait to try it.

It is smooth. I have noticed some lag coming back to the home screen from go SMS. It takes awhile to populate the icons then its fine.

The app drawer is just as choppy as it ever was. Mine is mostly slow entering the app drawer. I would also be in favor of cutting off the animation all together.

I am experiencing no lag on the home screen. The app drawer has a tiny delay opening it but other than that I think it works great. Still waiting for second day of battery testing.

No Go. After random nonsense with their apps, including dragging phones down to their knees with running logcat hundreds of times in an apparent public debug release, no. Avoid all Go junk.
Plus... ios look? really?
Beta 3 is up. Beta 2 I had no battery issues. Actually go has never given me battery problems to over a year and two phones.

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?
EDIT: I didn't realize your palm has to touch the screen. Silly me it works flawless. Its actually the quickest way to achieve a screenshot

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*​
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?

scrolling in general, like contacts, app manager, browser etc
it kinda stutter a bit
Well the only time I notice "stuttering" is in my bookmarks draw and it just feels like a lower frame rate not really stuttering

Thinking about going back to Sam stock

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get rid of them annoying water noises and get clicks and also is it possible to get a stock looking drop bar? I know I can get the keyboard
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using xda app-developers app
seems to me that you have applied some custom framework. Which ROM and framework do you have?
Generally, for disabling water noise sound and click sound go to Settings>Sound, scroll to the end, and un-toggle 'Keytones','Touch sounds' and 'Screen Lock sound'
I like the clicks and that I just don't like how Samsung love to mess about with things that are fine how they are they seem to make things worse when "if it ain't broke don't touch it" I am on super nexus but it has minor bugs here and there and I'd like the stock apps eg all share and have better battery and ui
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my advice is that you should switch to ROM that is more stable and has TW framework(because without you wont be able to have samsung apps such as all share because they are implemented in Samsung's TouchWiz framework), and you can install some launcher such as apex, holo, etc, and preserve that android-stock look if you are aiming for it
I'm mainly after stock aosp sounds I can sort KB and launchers
