Well I haven't used a Samsung device since then.
Do they still try to prevent you from replacing the rom?
I consider that stuffty behavior from a phone manufacturer.

As with most computers I own, I like to wipe the OS and install whatever suits my actual needs.
In most cases, the rom I choose is as close to stock Android + Gapps as possible.

The newer android versions have the option in debug mode to allow custom roms, so no.

i remember samsung being the least brown town about rooting out of every manufacturer out there

That can't be right. There were a couple manufacturers that give downloads and detailed instructions for people who want to root, right?
I forgot which ones do that, but I remember that being a thing.

800 was the original value, they took off 300 and then yeah, went with a plan of 33 a month along with the bill, we aren't on a contract so I could pay it off anytime I want -- note that these aren't exact numbers but pretty close

I have a moto (Specifically Moto E4 NOT E4 Plus!). Its better than my old phone (Metropcs Huewei Valient) and my dad got it for free. But then unlocked the bootloader, rooted it with TWRP to install things like Magisk and Xposed.

It's a Flagship phone and chances are it'll be updated to versions far past most samsung phones.

what i meant to say was samsung was historically the least brown town.

ofc there are manufacturers like oneplus who don't even void your warranty upon rooting nowadays, but back in like 2012-2013 manufacturers were too busy trying to lock the bootloader and various other garbage that required exploits in the system firmware to even root. samsung never, ever did this stuff. they never posted instructions or details either but it was basically the same for almost every samsung device out there outside of maybe 1 or 2 additional settings.
