Especially to extend battery life.

Is there no way to freeze apps that are running with rooting the phone? I am very new to android and would really like to avoid rooting, however, I can barely get through half a day with my battery.Here's a pretty good thread regarding how some members have configured their Pro: LINK.
Tweaks around "battery life" are popular (and necessary). In addition to getting an extended battery, you may wish to "root" your Pro. This will allow you to apply additional tweaks or apps. My "power management" tweaks include: Rooted via z4root
- Screebl Pro
- SetCPU (throttle down to 300 when screen off)
- AutoKiller Memory Optimizer
- Uninstalled or frozen a bunch of stuff i don't use via Titanium Backup
- Changed phone radio from global to cdma
- App 2 SD
Get the extended battery -- Honestly, it's worth the $50 (or $35 if you have the discounts) and you wont have to spend any time fighting with settings or apps to preserve battery life. My wife keeps her GPS, WiFi, and BT on all the time, and she puts the phone on the charger at about 40% every night.
I have a Droid 2 so I may not be beneficial here, but I have no problem with battery life. I'm able to push up to 28 hours on a single charge with good use.
Do pros really suck that much battery?
