I just bought a Galaxy S5 off ebay because i need to get apps that are no longer supported by the outdated os iphone 4 uses.
It is currently running 6.0.1 marshmallow, and to upgrade I have to "Consent to the collection and use of personal information" which I don't want to do.
Since it's from Korea it also has a couple Korean apps that I can't delete.
It also has some worthless Samsung apps I can't delete that are constantly updating. Is it safe to root an android, and is it worth doing to manually update the OS and delete apps I don't want? What is the risk of bricking the phone?
Second, the battery drain is insane. How do i prevent apps from being active and/or access networks when the phone is locked/sleeping, and are there any apps that i should allow to do this?

Root the fucking thing and either delete those bloatware apps or install a custom firmware on it that isn't a privacy hog

Dude who the fuck cares - that was already happening with your iPhone, they just never told you about it or did a better job hiding it.
