Alright. Looks like I've hit that age where newfangled technology is confusing and frightening to me. Guess I'll be looking to the youngins to help me out from here on.
Just bought an S4 (it's what I could afford and it's replacing an S-nothin so it's still a solid upgrade). It's an unlocked AT&T phone, which I gather means it's got a fucked up bootloader meant to hamper things. Anyhoo, I want to update it to Lollipop and then get rid of all of the AT&T stuff as well as some of the Samsung stuff. I reckon this means update and then root, right? If I root it does that just get me better access which will allow me to uninstall crap, or will I have to load up a new rom or something? Wouldn't the latter negate updating to Lollipop?
