..to people that turned their old android phones into mp3 players -
I have a Galaxy A5 that I want to turn into a mp3-player, might leave a weather app and an egg timer on there as well but basically it shall be a very easy to use and reliable mp3 player.
I deleted / deactivated all the shit on there, did a factory reset and let it update (which, annoyingly, installed all the shit from T-Mobile again, plus various other shit; I again deleted / deactivated all I could).
Since this shall be a reliable / idiotproof device that will be used by an elderly person there can't be any fucking apps asking for nonsense / updates and whatnot, so my question is basically should I go through the trouble of completely wiping ("rooting"?) this, or will I only introduce more trouble for myself and, worse, for the person using it later on.
You notice I'm not familiar with android phones at all.
Also what is the best / user-friendly mp3-player for android?
Thanks!
