Lewa OS for Nokia X is official and totally genuine. This is released specifically for Nokia X and includes a variety of features never found in Stock Nokia OS. Lewa OS promises unique smoothness and almost bug-free interface. And if you indeed find one, report in to this thread as this OS will be receiving an update every Saturday. The Lewa Developers will continue their work and will soon fix any issues you report. I have added couple of tweaks of my own and removed unnecessary apps and stuff to further guarantee awesomeness accompanied by perfection. Enjoy!
