Lewa OS for Nokia X is official and totally genuine. It is released specifically for Nokia X smartphone, and it includes a number of features never found in the Stock Nokia operating system. Lewa OS promises unique smoothness and almost bug-free interface. Moreover, if you indeed find one, a report on this thread as this operating system 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 a couple of tweaks of my own and removed unnecessary apps and stuff to guarantee further awesomeness accompanied by perfection. Enjoy!

About Nokia XL Patch:

Let me tell you that I have not tried the patch for this ROM and even the ROM on Nokia XL. So don’t get mad if it doesn’t work and just report it back to me. I’m sure it will work without any problems.

It has been fixed. There is no screen problem anymore but there is one bug. You can see changelog for more info.
Updating Procedure:

Updates will now be provided through OTA. So no hassles.
