Simple numeric keyboard

Hi,
I've got this phone due a week and I'm really scared why they let to distribution something that has problems with typing on keyboard - a really big lag
I am using now the standard keyboard with qwerty OFF on portrait mode and I don't want qwerty on this mode - the phone is too small for really fast typing.
I've turned off XT9 also, I just want physical keyboard replacement without any CPU-using helps, that are for me just rubbish, only touch vibrations would be appreciated.
It should be no higher than half of the screen also.
I've used SWYPE, SwiftX and SlideIT, they're only QWERTY which I don't want on portrait mode, I can't turn off hints, which only uses CPU and gives free space away.
Is something there what I'm searching for? Can be paid.
EDIT:
Yes, I've read this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210730&highlight=keyboard&page=2
no help.

I use smart keyboard pro with t9 on portrait and azerty on landscape.
Works flawlessly, you can download dictionaries from market and apply 'themes'.

thx, installed trial now, it's fast, simplified keyboard works well, finally I can turn off full screen keyboard on landscape mode, but... is there any way to turn off hints? I really don't need them, better would be without them - more cpu for typing makes less lag.

Text Color In Full Screen

I borked something... For some reason when my keyboard (any keyboard that uses full screen) goes full screen the font color is changing to white. If it wasn't for the white background this would not be an issue. This happens in landscape, but portrait doesn't go full screen so it works fine.
Does anyone have any idea on how to change the font color in full screen only?
As a work-a-round I have installed a keyboard manager that changes the keyboard based on orientation. I am using SlideIt in landscape and FlexT9 in portrait. Occasionally I use hackers keyboard, but having same issue there. I have a habit of switching keyboards depending on my needs at that time.

What do you mean, ''keyboard that uses full screen''? Can you give an example of which keyboard app, which editor app (does it happen when you post on this forum, for example?), and what do you do to make it ''go full screen''?
(By the way, I am using Hackers' Keyboard. All the keys are there, and you can move the cursor with onscreen keys.)

In landscape using hackers keyboard or flext9, when the keyboard expands the entry field goes from web page/ app/ entry field to the fill screen mode where the keyboard takes up half the screen and the other half is a separate input screen, not the web page view.

[Q] Reduce Keyboard textbox size in landscape

Is there anyway to reduce the landscape keyboard textbox size. It dont like the fact it takes up the full screen. It would be nice to still be able to read the message above it etc.

You can use a custom keyboard, popular ones from the market have a DPI setting in the keyboard setting, however for me the result was terrible removed it in minutes after that.

Setting for Hackers Keyboard in Landscape on GNEX? Full Keyboard and textbox only

Hi.
As keyboard I am using "Hackers Keyboard". 4 Row only.
I'd like to use HK as a full screen keyboard in Landscape mode, meaning in Landscape there should be only the keyboard (big) and a textbox where I am writing currently. I Portrait it should be "normal" keyboard and everything else visible (textbox, background, other text, etc).
How can I achieve that the keyboard is "big with textbox" in Landscape?
Currently it does the same as in Portrait, big keyboard and a little gap between keyboard an the upper screen. On some apps, this is not enough to display a textbox. On others it is enough.

Is it possible to change the DPI without shrinking the keyboard?

I tried using the adb command and while it does adjust the DPI, the keyboard will shrink to a point where its impossible to actually type, but the size of the screen elements are to my liking.
I didnt see ro.sf.lcd.density in my build.prop so I added it in but it doesn't seem to be doing anything on a reboot. On my 6P I was able to adjust the DPI with this line and the keyboard wouldnt shrink so it was still usable for my thumbs.
Has anyone found a way to adjust the DPI outside of the adb command that would give more screen real estate without compromising keyboard usability? Maybe some values you guys are liking that you can suggest to me.
Thank you

Oh i should have mentioned that as well. Shrinks the keyboard like crazy. Ideally I want a way that shrinks everything BUT Swiftkey. Today in a different thread I found you can shrink everything and scale up GBoard which may be what I end up doing but Im a bit stubborn since on the 6P I was able to shrink everything but swiftkey.

Are you talking about Swiftkey specifically? I changed the display size in Display settings, and the default Gboard keyboard stayed the same size when the display size was both Default, and then when I went up a size. It stayed the same. I expected it to get bigger, but it didn't. Unless it did, and I didn't notice, but when I put the display size back to default the keyboard stayed the same size cause it looked almost too big compared to the rest of the display. Does your default Gboard keyboard get bigger/smaller when changing the display size?
