Q&A: Should I root my Samsung Galaxy S4 and install Titanium Backup to remove pre-installed apps?

samsung-galaxy-s4Question from Marcia N.:  After using nothing but iPhones for years, I recently decided to give the Samsung Galaxy S4 a try after hearing a friend rave on and on about how great it is. And you know what? He’s right. I really do love it.

That being said, there’s something that really bugs me about the Galaxy S4. It has a ton of pre-installed apps on it that I’ll never use and are just taking up space in the internal memory, yet they can’t be uninstalled! What’s up with that?
