IMPORTANT

It is always recommended to make a backup before doing anything in your phone. So make sure you do so. So that in case you need to bring your phone to service center or for whatever reason, you can restore it to stock/factory state configuration.

This is based on stock rom (1.15). This means that you CANNOT do a CWM or TWRP data backup of your Lewa or MIUI ROM and restore after flashing this rom. If you do, you might get into bootloop (flash another ROM to fix that). You can still try, but you may not be successful.
