Questions regarding rooting a device.
I'm not very familiar with the android OS and I already began hating Touchwiz shortly after getting my first android device, the S5.
I heard that there are many ways to avoid looking at the monstrosity, some of which are to install launchers. But I want a more permanent approach to this and I've come to the conclusion that "rooting" (whatever this is) is the best way to fix my problem.
I was just wondering if any of you could help me out here. I understand that rooting is basically granting yourself more control over your phone, but there are still some aspects to it which I am still unaware of.
1) What are custom ROMs?
2) Will rooting deter my chances of getting the latest android in that device?
All in all, what I really want is Touchwiz to go to ******* hell. So I was wondering what the easiest way to get stock android is on a Samsung phone, without using a launcher.
