Help Ok. I'm admitting defeat here. Need help adding app shortcuts

Got the NC today. Screwed around with it unrooted and determined that as an e-reader, my Kindle kicks it's scrawny little ass. I wanted to root it anyway, so I did. I ran the 1.0.1 system update first on the Nook, confirmed it worked, then rooted it. Everything came up fine. I did a backup of all my apps on my phone, copied it to an SD card and restored everything to the Nook. No problems there. Only issue I've got with that is I now have apps on the Nook that I don't need as they're not relevant at all to a tablet (call blocking apps, car finder, GPS test, etc.........) No biggie I can go through and uninstall them.

My issue is that I can't add any apps to the home screen. Not sure why. Widgets work, but shortcuts to apps don't. I can see all of them under extras. I can't add them using Zeam (which I like better) or Launcher Pro. In Zeam I long press on the home screen background and go go Add Item >> shortcut. It just goes back to the home screen. In Launcher Pro I long press then go to shortcuts. Same thing happens. It just goes back to the home screen. Widgets still work, but shortcuts to apps don't. I know I'm missing something here and I'm fairly certain there is user error involved. Can someone help me out please?
 
Try going to all apps and long press the app you want a shortcut for. I think mine did that too. Is this the new NC or the used NC that you had coming.
