    You can do that (kinda) with the stock phone. You can "hide" apps you dont want running, and they go into a hidden section and the phone ignores them. They still take up a little space on the phone, but they dont run.

    I rooted mine to give me the ability to run a Linux desktop on my Lapdock (Motorola Atrix). I didn't root for any other reason as most of the reasons for doing it weren't that compelling to me (I pay to tether). I can always unroot it as well.
