Root Home and Search Button Fault?

Okay, I just finished the RUU and it was successful. All I did was finish the set-up on the phone, *NOTHING ELSE* (Like installing any applications). I'd just like to remind you guys, that when I had my 3 ROM (Which was my stock ROM), that I put this ROM on *AFTER*, and that's when the button problem first appeared, so I pretty much put back on my phone just another ROM that this issue continues in. Otherwise, what do I do now? Install one app? Install nothing for a while? What are the steps I need to take?



Also when can I re-root it?
 
I would try to install as very little as possible. Run a couple of days with.no apps. Then add a couple and run for a couple of days. And so on.
 
Okay... How about when to re-root? Should I do that after, or before installing applications one-by-one? Also, should I go a few days without that as well?
 
Okay, I was also thinking, shall I keep you guys updated on a regular basis? For example, I could go five days without doing anything on the phone, then after five days, let you guys know the results, then do the same for the next five days with one application installed on the phone, and so on... Or do you think that is too much?
 
I think if you can wait that long, it would be perfect. Also keep a journal of any changes you make, including naming the apps you install... and yes, keep us updated please :)
 
Okay, once again guys thanks for *ALL* your help. It does *NOT* go unappreciated by me.
 
Sorry to bother you guys again, but I was just wondering if we could shorten the waiting time from five days to three days. It's just that I'd like to get to the stage where I can have at least one application installed... Or would it make a critical difference if we shortened it to three days? Regardless, here are the 3 day results:

3 Day Test: On Stock ROM

Day One:

Both the home button and search button are working fine (I forgot to check the search button, however, it was most likely working if the home button was working).

Day Two:

Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Day Three:

Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Other Notes:

As I mentioned previously, I haven't made any changes except completing the phone set-up (Which only included me setting up my Gmail account, and adding a wi-fi network).
 
Thanks... :). Then how long do I have to wait until I can install the next application (Or whatever the next stage is)?
 
Okay, I just installed my first application... "TweetCaster for Twitter". I also updated Google Maps (It actually wasn't me, but was automatic), that shouldn't be a problem right? I've done updates with one application installed in the past and it's still worked.
 
Okay... So how long do I have to wait until I can install a second application?
 
Well, I still prefer 3 days, however, you're the pro. So 5 days it is.
 
. To be totally honest, I can't wait 10... But 5 I can and will do.
 
5 Day Test: On Stock ROM (With 1 Application Installed)

Day 1:

.. Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Day 2:

.. Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Day 3:

.. Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Day 4:

.. Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Day 5:

.. Both the home button and search button are working fine.

Other Notes:

.. Although I have had 1 application installed for 5 days, I have not AT ALL used it... However, I am pretty sure that if it was one application effecting the phone, it wouldn't be that one (which is TweetCaster). The next application I will be installing is "TweetDeck for Twitter".
 
.. Just want to let u guys know, I just finished installing TweetDeck and also updated "YouTube for Android". I also changed a few settings (e.g., added a security pin, adjusted the brightness, edited some keyboard settings, etc) (if you'd want to know more about those things, just ask). Something I've been meaning to ask u which I realized just a few mins ago while changing these settings, is that you cannot choose a custom ringtone for apps notifications, and phone notifications... Can that be changed?
