LG G3 optimization guide/help

hi i just got my first cell phone and i want to optimize it make it faster and remove most of the bloatware. I just don't know where to start since i never really use a cell phone. Im mostly scared of removing something that i might of needed. also maybe some app recommendation would be good too.

 

thanks in advance

Well first of all, what region are you in, and what carrier are you using?  Did you get an unlocked phone, or buy it through the carrier?  Can't really help you if we don't have any information.

root it with Purpledrake

install Androidnow HD

As kuhchuk and vandal85 said, you should flash a new ROM only if it depends if you have a carrier, and what you want to do. Removing the bloatware is a great idea because companies now are riddled with it. But I would root it, and keep the stock rom for OTA updates. Just get rid of the bloatware.
