Hey, maybe there's another potential option for Debian on our phones......
Work in progress....but it's designed to run on phones.....

Really depends on getting all hardware features working in Debian with the MTK chipset. I don't know what the status of the Cosmo is, but I never managed to get GPS working on the Gemini. The fingerprint sensor might also be a problem.
Otherwise this looks really nice.
