As I said, after rooting you can do whatever you want.

Yeah I just looked it up and its a lot more complicated than jailbreaking lol.

Whats up with rooting tho? Is it like jb where I cant upgrade my phone's firmware or I'll lose it or?


Depends on the phone.
For example Samsungs are really easy to root.
It basically gives you access to everything that's locked from manufacturer side.
The only downside is that you lose your warranty.

As for firmware, you can install whatever you like on your phone.
My favorite android version for Galaxy S1-4 was Cyanogenmod, that's why I got Oneplus One back in the day, because it had stock Cyanogenmod. You could do whatever you wanted with it.
Custom roms usually have way more customization options, it's just that they're not optimized for every phone.

That's the go-to site for everything android related.
Most phones have their own subforums, so you can check the stuff that interests you.
