Is this possible? Because I've been looking for a way to do it for ages without success.
I want the nav bar behaviour to be exactly like the one on phones, it takes too much space when using the tab in landscape mode.
I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I put my tablet in fullscreen/expanded desktop mode, then use LMT launcher (the best pie launcher) with pie activating from the side.
Lollipop Launcher. You can set the desktop to *portrait mode* thus navi bar is on the left or right side when holding the Shield in landscape.
Nova Launcher can do that.

Is there any way at all to keep the notification bar from moving? Like, for example, the bar is on the bottom part in portrait mode... When I tilt the tablet to landscape mode, I want the notification to stay that way, like on the Galaxy Nexus. Is there any way that that can happen? Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks!
This may not be what you are asking for (you may already know this), but while in portrait mode, hit the clock and select "Screen Rotation" (it should change from green to grey). Your screen is now locked in portrait mode. Or were you just looking to keep your launcher in Portrait mode? If you want that, try a custom launcher - I use Holo Launcher HD, there are several other options (Go Launcher, ADW Launcher EX, Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher) - any of these should let you choose to only use portrait mode. Does that help?

I appreciate the reply very much
However, what I was trying to say is that, even when the tablet is in landscape mode, the notification bar will still stay on the right side. Like in the case of the Galaxy Nexus. When playing landscape games, the capacitive buttons still stay on the right side of the screen (which is the bottom when in portrait mode). That's what I was referring to: the bar staying on the right side of the screen in LS mode, instead of the bottom of the screen.
After watching a demo of the new BlackBerry 10 today, it occured to me that Android doesn't need the navigation bar taking up screen real estate. The back button can be replaced by swipe from left edge into center (similar to pulling down the notification bar on top). Swiping from bottom up brings up the menus. And swiping from right to left can either go home or with a second up or down flick go to recent apps (or switch these two).
Once this is implemented, manufacturers can get rid of the bottom capacitive buttons, increasing screen size while keeping phone physical size constant. Android can finally get rid of the navigation bar that wastes so much space.
Make it happen I'll test but I like my soft keys

Well, that's a thought. Personally, I'd just put the softkeys into the statusbar and get rid of the navigation bar altogether.

Apparently the Ubuntu smartphone OS has all these edge swipe gestures in the plans:

I just purchased a new TF300T for my wife. I've upgraded to 4.2 in hopes of solving my problem but so far no luck.
Problem:
In landscape mode I can not pull down the notification bars for the 4.2 version launcher. If I hold the tablet in portrait mode no issues at all.
Similarly Nova Launcher (my launcher of choice) if I am in landscape mode and I attempt to hit the settings button or drawer button in the upper right hand of the desktop it will only switch the desktop to the next page.
Any ideas? Bad Digitizer?
So after doing some more digging and a factory reset I believe the device is defective.
If I am in portrait mode I can not drag an app to a home screen on the right side of the tablet which would be the top if I was in landscape. You can see where the app gets released and settles back on the current home screen.
Guess I'll be calling Asus for warranty.
Hi, so my SHIELD Tablet has Android 5.0, and i saw a guide previously on how an XPOSED module can force the Softkeys (Navbar) to be on the right side and stay there. However, as of Android 5.0 and ART, XPOSED does no longer work (for now), and i need another ROOT solution. Is there any other app that can force my Navbar to be forced to stay in any orientation on the right side (portrait bottom)? Would be nice to hear back from you guys.
Good mood droid Auto hide softkeys, in the play store. Left or right in landscape and bottom in portrait.

Thanks, but i dont want them to hide, i only want them to stay in the portrait mode and not rotate with the screen. Auto Hide Softkeys works, however it makes the softkeys an overlay if i decide to put the action on what makes the bar dissappear again on none of the buttons or touch clicks and set the timer to 10000ms. That doesnt make it dissappear, however it does make it so that things can go under the buttons, but i want them to stay where they are and be like hardware keys. Is there any way doing that?
Just trying to make my new tablet with China ROM feel like home, and want to use my normal launcher "Action Launcher" couldn't figure out how to override the gesture, so turned on the navigation buttons, but the home button does do anything. Anyone know how I can fix the home button, or override the home gesture?
Also the quick tiles, I notice that it doesn't use standard android quick tiles, so the apps that usually have quick tiles don't show up. Can I add more tiles?
Tablet did OTA update to 13.0.364, and I do have L1 windvine. Anything else I should do?
Nova Launcher works great for me. You can then set it to the default launcher. I keep the Lenovo gestures and have added a home button to the home screen.
