UPDATE: Well... 15 minutes after making this post the phone fell out of my pocket and slided 20 meters away. Screen died. I guess I won't be needing the speaker now.
But I believe this will be good opportunity to repair it. It was 4 years old. Thankfully one of my backup phones, an LG G4 still works. Which is 7 years old and has Android 6 on it. I'll go and look for a custom ROM I guess.
What a twist
Bad news - the bootloader on LG phones can't be unlocked anymore since LG pulled out of the phone market and disabled the service.
Unless it's already unlocked, no ROMs for you.
