I prefer it the way it is now but I was kind of liking that damage control rom because it had great battery life. The only problem was that it required the nand to be unlocked. I appreciate the help Winmo and Fastrx8. Hitting thanks now.
On another note, what exactly are the benefits to fully rooting. If there's nothing necesarily great about unlocking the nand, then I'll just stick with part 1.

Here's that post, again just a guess:

Re; full root-C'mon! Everyone's doing it!
Full root is about more than aps2sd, like I stated a few posts back. As more apps and ROMs roll out based on full root you'll need to have it to take full (or any) advantage-like you indicated with Damage ROM.
I ASSUME the last step is needed. You could do a little test to find out. full root allows us to write to /system.
Skip the step and then try to put a simple txt file in /system.
Pretty sure you need to be adb savy though to do that. Toast or flipz tells you have if you feel searchy
Also the latest version of ROM Manager now requires full root to boot into recovery. If you skip that step and run ROM Manager to boot into recovery it will hang on the red triangle screen if you are not fully rooted.
