A million times this. But really, I probably wouldn't even consider it if the phones didn't have extra programs on them that ran pointlessly and/or I couldn't uninstall.
well the whole point of having an unlocked bootloader is so it makes it easier to run custom roms. Most roms are aosp or stock that remove all the crap.
Oh I get it. I just mean that, if it didn't have that stuff, I wouldn't be too concerned with running a custom rom, and the bootloader wouldn't be as big an issue.
