I can type as fast as my little fingers will go without any issues. Sure there may be a bit of "lag", but it always captures exactly what I am typing...no omissions and no added characters.

Thank you for clarifying it.

I guess your one of th elucky ones that dont see Lag on a stock ROM. Your very lucky. Even cnet talks about the keyboard lag.

Keep that phone ;c)

Disabling xt9 completely got rid of the lag for me, but like I said, it messes with the compact qwerty so if you use it, this tweak is not for you. I have attached 2 cabs, one that disables it and one that enables it back in case you need it (Don't think an uninstall will revert it back)

This also brings back the good old word suggestion from windows instead of that annoying black bar. Enjoy!

wow someone must've read my mind
I had to go back to my mogul to hack it to us cellular and I noticed the keyboard was blazing fast. This was with the stock US Cellular rom and it was downright god fast with DCD cab.

Now I've been through (and I counted) 9 moguls. 2 were brans new, 7 were refurbs and there was no keyboard lag on any rom. but there were so many noticeable differences with the mogul versus touch pro

screen refresh was faster as well...even without touchflo 3d on the touch pro and everything was relatively stock and fast. So I tend to wonder a few things

1. is winmo capable of using higher ram devices? So far the answer is not really (even with an increased page pool, because in order to get speed I have to bump up the page pool and somehow my mogul is still faster at somethings is insane)

2. is this an htc bug in the touch pros?

3. Is it possible to pull some of the settings that some of the other chefs used for the keyboard, speed settings and so on to create a wonderful rom for speed?

Just some questions...freaky I know...I think I'll start on it soon

THIS WORKED FOR ME! Thanks Ruskiyab!

This cab (posted on page 2 of this thread) that disables xT9 worked on my Touch Pro running Merdin's 5.1 ROM. Thanks so much! VERY minimal lag now. In fact I wouldn't even catagorize it as lag because in no way at all does it affect my typing. My typing used to outpace my phone's ability to display the letters and I'd have to stop for 5-10 seconds to let it catch up with me and thats gone now. Hooray! I think this did it!

I also ran a cab a while back simliar to the one posted here on page 3 (I think thats where it is) of this thread that adjusts the initial delay and repeat rate settings but I never noticed any difference with that cab.

I to can confirm that my keyboard doesnt lag on stock rom. actually it works better then on custom roms, but the cab goodcat posted worked fine and dandy for me, it still lags a bit but works much better
