Small screen,in need of keyboard - Optimus One, P500, V General

I've tried nearly 10 keyboards and none of them seem to suit my need of being able to see what I type when I'm using a browser (ie...dolphin,opera,stock browser). Does anyone know of a keyboard that doesn't take up all of the screen when using browsers..when I'm texting,keyboards like wp7 and smart keyboard pro are functional and I can see what I type

What do you mean you can't see what you type? The screenshot is dolphin, cm7.2 nightly, stock keyboard.

I think he means in landscape mode.
But I can see what I type, screenshot:

+1 for SwiftKey. I got it free from the amazon market one day, and it has been the absolute best keyboard for me since. I would say well worth the couple of bucks it actually costs.
Perfect Keyboard gets a close second, with Go Keyboard bringing up third due to the insane amount of customization you can do to it.

This is what I mean..I've included two shots..one using browser while on Facebook the other using xda premium...I'm now on williamcharles's aokp from. While typing this I can see what I type...
Edit: well I can't include screenshots because the xda app keeps FCing on me..I probably have to clear data and reboot...

Nice look. Gives alerts to DM's now.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Looks like the newer version of XDA app just updated itself with the new features that were included in Tapatalk. Definitely a improvement, but I'll stay with Tapatalk since both of them are pretty much the same app except Tapatalk has support for more forums.
Just got it too wow super nice

I'd love to give feedback, but I can't even get it to open. The old version FC'd a lot, but this one won't even open for me (on stock w/JI5 update).

[Question] Best Web Browser

I have been using dolphin hd for the longest amount of time and to be honest I'm getting tired of the simplicity of the app and the lack of full customization, would someone be able to point me in the right direction of a browser that would most likely fit me

opera mobile doesnt have ads
anyhow
My fav is Stock on wifi/3G, Opera Mini on 2G
Dolphin Mini. It has all the benefits of webkit (like stock browser) but it's much faster and supports tabbed and fullscreen browsing.
I don't like how Opera modifies the page layout and text looks blurry IMO.
dolphin mini too.
Dolphin HD, I'd say. Started with Dolphin Mini but didn't like the UI and Opera had some compatibility problems with some of the pages I visit the most (in both versions). Its a shame 'cause I liked it better, even though it had little customization options.
Dolphin mini, as opera mini had some graphics tearing issue on some websites

Thank you for the recommendations guess, but it looks like Boat was the best one after trying all other browsers, open to more suggestions,

I recommend Maxthon Browser, have been using it for a while now and it works really well. One feature that stands out for me that I haven't seen it in any other browsers is support for gestures (I know dolphin introduced this feature before but the way it's implemented in Maxthon is more convenient IMO)
Is no one using skyfire?
And to block ads, use adfree. It affects all browsers.

Force Phone Keyboard

I've got an app that only needs numbers, i would like to have only the phone version of the keyboard show, but it only gives me the option of standard keyboard. is there a way to select the phone version for a default keyboard?

I think i stated my question incorrectly... I'm not developing an app, I'm using an app, when i click in the text box it brings up the regular keyboard. I would like it to bring up the 'phone' key pad.
Like an input option if i had multiple keyboards installed... Hope that clarifies better... Maybe there is a keyboard i could install that is just this?

In order to have an "option" you need to install a keyboard from that market. Not even sure if any of them have that option. you can try swift. If not, you need to edit the layout file for that input and package the app back up.
I ended up finding one called Filt Keyboard... it had an addon option that did this...

Lucky for me I can use the stock keyboard with one hand. I actually really like the default qwerty on this beast.
