Okay, have my fingers crossed. I've never installed or used CWR before, so my heart has been in my throat though this entire process. I just installed the new pre-rooted update and am at the "reboot from CWR" stage. Ack. <waiting...waiting...>

1) Homescreen looks the same. Check.
2) All apps seem to be present. Check.
3) Had to reinstall Ultra Keyboard from the (still there) apk again. This has been an issue since I played with installing the faux 1.1.0 build prop so no surprise. I hope this time it sticks.
4) New Market! Screen is indeed a bit wonky, but I can press things once I figure out where they are. Just tried installing a simple app (No Lock--which I uninstalled because it was malfunctioning during my faux build prop experiment). Check. Check.
5) Oh yes. Opened a B&N book, and was able to get back to it via the stock "open book" button without first doing "Home Switcher." Check.
6) Rebooted while forgetting to turn off WiFi first and WiFi is still connected, unlike my prior issue with it turning off if it went to sleep. Woo-hoo!
7) Tested stock browser. Pinch to zoom works, and it is indeed much snappier. Don't think I'll use it often, but nice to know it works. Check.
8) Volume does seem to be a bit better but I haven't listened to enough music on the NC to be sure.
9) B&N Shop seems fine. Check.

Okay, hoping this will hold. When I did the faux build prop it was going a few minor but weird things afterward, such as flashing from wherever I was back to my homescreen and flashing back again in a split second. Plus "No Lock" worked only sporadically and my charger no longer turned green when the battery was full. So, I'm also hoping this fixes those weird hiccups too.
