So, now I am back on 2.1.1 with a broken Recent Drawer. However, I found that many third-party task managers have a "recent task" view or window which makes the Recent Drawer obsolete now. Apps accessed by third-party launchers/folders/shortcuts will show up in those task managers, unlike with the Nook Recent Drawer. Here are the ones that work:

SmartTaskbar 1 & 2
AppSwipe!
SwipePad Hyperspace
MultiTasking
Simple Switcher

I am using SmartTaskbar 2 for now, but I was also impressed with AppSwipe! and SwipePad. But they all are effective workarounds for the broken Recent Drawer. All are free, but SwipPad charges $1 for the add-on that shows the recent apps.

Yes, I meant recent drawer, not screen, sorry! Thanks for the app suggestions, I will have to try some of those.
