Hey dudes, I'm considering a note 5 for my next phone. It will only be my second android phone with my first being a nexus 5 that I bought direct from google. If I get the note 5 it will be on a plan through optus (Australian telco).
My wife has an S6 on optus and it has certain things like a boot animation from the carrier that I'm wondering if I can remove if I get the note 5? I guess what I'm really asking is can I get the phone to look/act/feel like it's an outright, off carrier phone? What's involved in unlocking the boatloader? What kind of custom rom development should I expect? As a nexus user I'm spoilt for choice as far as custom development, I'm expecting there will be less for the note?
Thanks in advance for any help/information
