The one that seems to work the best----and eliminated the problem with brightness------was whatever HTC Home Customizer downloads....

I uninstalled HTC Home

soft restarted

Ran HTC Home Customizer

It asked to download HTC Home plugin....

I said yes.

At the end the phone restarted itself......

And the vast majority of my little issues went away.....

I still have (from time to time)----some issues using the keypad and trying to do the paranthesis key and the dash key when doing phone numbers.....

Usually a soft reset fixes it.....

I think there is still some issues with HTC Home and this new ROM----but they are small and elusive....
