[Q] First time...please be gentle...

[HardCory]

I'm finally thinking about looking at taking the plunge into considering rooting my phone! Yay, initiative! Anywhoozle, for my first time, and maybe I have the wrong idea about rooting and what not, I don't really want to do anything special. I'm not really think of overclocking and what not; i just want to be able to add and remove whatever I want on my phone. Basically, I just want whatever is the lastest form of Android OS to be unlocked. Clean, simple, easy. With that being said, can anybody recommend a ROM that really doesn't have any bells and whistles? For right now, I want to be able to root my phone and not be sure if it even worked until I go to delete/remove all the bloatware. And then...BOOOM! Take THAT big business!

Thanks!
And if I'm using any terms improperly or am going about this incorrectly, please, feel free to mock me without any sort of education being added and leave me with more questions than answers. Because I'm a n00b and you are l33t.

Well, I would ask you, do you like the Samsung TouchWiz UI or is something more plain like CyanogenMod, a AOSP ROM, be to your liking?

I would recommend you to try out a cm11 or cm12, the rom footprint is very small and the roms themselves are fairly minimalistic.
if you want to stay stock download freezas rom and flash it. If you have other questions please private message me or any other fellow XDA member for support and more information about your matter.
