hey guys, I just bought a samsung galaxy s5 (poorfag lel). I noticed that the phone came pre-loaded with some weird apps that have weird permissions AKA "baby crying detector" which essentially has access to my microphone at all times. This doesn't make me feel comfortable, I have never felt the need to root my phone but should I? If so what is the best way to go about it
If you're still on KitKat towelroot. Otherwise you might be in for the long haul depending on your model (is it at&t or Verizon)

Verizon
and my phone is on android 5.0 - that's Lollipop I believe
The kernel version is 3.4.0

I rooted mine and deleted literally half of those apps.
