If you freeze them with tb you won't be able to use them. With greenify on the other hand you can

I'm having a hard time understanding you. If you don't want the apps running, root and remove/freeze them.
As LeJay said, root your device and remove the apps from /system/app/ or freeze (kind of disabling it) them with an app like Titanium Backup.
Also certain apps are required by the LG framework and can't be removed or frozen. They remain in memory and come back after you kill them. There are threads to be found about which app you can remove /freeze and which not.

Android Doesn’t Manage Processes Like Windows
Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.
However, Android isn’t Windows and doesn’t manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to “close” an Android application. This is by design and isn’t a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays “running” in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course – for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.
When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android “unpauses” that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.
Why Task Killers Are Bad
Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM – in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.
In summary, you shouldn’t use a task killer – if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM – that doesn’t help speed anything up.
Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while – this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.
Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android’s memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.
Task killers aren’t just useless – they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device’s storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.
Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power – decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.
hope u understood!
words of wisdom by fellow-mates
go into settings - apps and see how many running apps you have. now go to cached apps and see there, how many apps there are. you see? nearly 50% of those apps discovered by you in the processes are apps that you didn't opened ever but they are still opened and running. why? because that's how linux manages its resources. instead of having free ram for no use (what's the point of having 14gb of ram when you only use 1gb), linux fills all the ram blocks with useful apps or apps that you are running frequently so that when you call that app, it will bring it on the screen almost instantly. this my friend, is called multitasking.
and no, you are wrong. if you use a task killer killing the apps every 10 minutes, the cycles the whole system does - opening again apps and caching them, task killer closing them - results in much more functions done by CPU => more battery spent. even if you say that the battery life its the same, you are wrong. when using a task killer IT MIGHT drain your battery with 0.1% per hour. it's not that much, but IT EXIST.
oh and yeah, one thing: android has its own task killer. that's why you don't need one app to kill your other apps. because android its doing it by itself. if you don't believe me, strip down one kernel, open the init.rc file and find the values for task killer.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I'm trying to help you. I don't recommend you to use an application to block apps from starting on their own because it will ruin how Android managed it memory consumption. Since you've talked that Facebook app takes about 50MB of RAM I recommend you to use this instead of Facebook official app.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks man I got it now its bad to do such a thing

[Q] apps to uninstall for max battery

hi can u suggest me which apps should i uninstall ussing titanium and which apps should i greenify FOR MAX BATTERY SAVINGS
You can remove pretty much any system apps which you will never use... But don't remove any important system files or apks.. otherwise you will get problems!
And yes, removing bloatwares won't help you much in saving Battery - but it will give you a couple of few extra minutes maybe
- Use the app "NoBloat" from Google Play to remove them

Search it. App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE @ PlayStore.
It freeze your process tho, need to manually unfreeze it to use it. Abit uncool compared to Greenify.

Facebook and greenify

Does anyone know how to get Facebook to show up as an app in greenify, since it usually is the biggest offender of staying awake?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
In order to greenify Facebook or any other system app you need the greenify donation package and root.
sent
Or flash a ROM that doesn't have it as a built on app. I also just used Link2SD to make Gmail a user app cause that was huge battery drain for me
not possible only with donation package features that dont require root? facebook is not an system app i think.
