(Q) Does it have Portrait Keybpard? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Does Xperia Z2 has portrait keyboard inbuilt? (alphanumeric keypad)?

Don't think so, there's a mini querty keyboard in portrait mode and I couldn't find an option to change to alphanumeric.
Although with the screen size even being new to portrait qwerty shouldn't be a problem, key spacing's pretty nice.

Landscape on slide-in?

As wm6.5 via titanium offers a great UI even for landscape, and as the qwerty/z keys are really small in portrait mode i'm looking for an application that would switch screen orientation to landscape on sliding the keyboard in and to portrait when sliding out (in fact it actually changes to portrait, when i'm sliding the keyboard out, thats why i need something that changes sr to landscape when i slide back in)...
Anyone knows some app?
Maybe you could mix up the screen rotate tool from here:

[Q] My perfect keyboard setup

The perfect setup would be if I could use the default SE keyboard in portrait mode and AnySoft keyboard or similar when the phone is in landscape mode. Is there a way to set this up?
My old nokia 5800 automatically did a switch between full keyboard and numeric keyboard when I rotated my phone
Smart KB hat the ability in options.

Strange screen orientation

When using my Archos 70, I find out that the screen orientation is somehow strange.
1st - I like to use it in portrait. However, I cannot make the screen 'lock' to portrait orientation. The 'lock' feature only supports landscape orientation
2nd - Even in portrait mode, when using some apps, the orientation is inverted (such as z4root). Seems Archos makes the default portrait position to be like 'power button at the bottom and the USB at the top). However..... I think most of you will agree that we all like the power button AT THE TOP.
So, is there a way to fix the orientation (default) to portrait, with power button at the top?
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes lock is Landscape, that has to do with the stand.
2. This has to do with the way android works. Normaly view is stopped and started again with the new orientation by the os. But the developer can tell Android that it handöes this switch itself and then the app is responsible for thee switching.
So there is no way atm to change this.
Whenever I use an application (on my A101) that only works in portrait mode, the power button is always at the top.
So far I have tried with Twonky and z4root.
edit: oh, and I believe some of the launchers available will let you lock screen in portrait mode ... try Launcher Pro or ADW

Looking for keyboard with force fullscreen in Landscape

Just a question:
Is there a (free) keyboard with the following attributes:
Force fullscreen keyboard in Landscape (only big keyboard and textbox where currently typing in Landscape)
Normal keyboard in Portrait (see everything android shows and Keyboard)
low memory footprint
no correction
easy to use
good looking (like gingerbread keyboard)
Just a dumb keyboard with force fullscreen in Landscape.
Thanks in Advance
PS: Hackers Keyboard has no force fullscreen

Cm12 landscape keyboard

How come when in landscape mode and you bring up the keyboard it is only on the left side of the screen and makes typing with it nearly impossible? Is there a setting for this I am missing somewhere? I don't see anything in the keyboard settings.
