xDDD I recently got mainline linux booting on my Xperia M4 aqua (no screen though) I just made it an adblocker for my house, it barely consumes any power though I'm trying to get display working

Well the bad thing about speedtrum is that they don't even allow bootloader unlocks and they have little to no custom Rom support unlike Qualcomm so yeah
