Nokia X now one step closer to a ‘real’ Android phone you won’t want to buy
When Nokia was handing out Nokia X developer units, they had to know this was coming. Using the Framaroot app the Nokia X has been rooted, and with root comes the ability to add other apps to the system — including Google’s own closed-source apps.
Now you can have your Google services on your Android phone, even if someone didn’t want you to have them in the first place. That’s because the application framework was left intact, so Nokia could let you install apps from Amazon and others. Apps are apps are apps.
I still think you’re better off buying a different phone, be it a Lumia 520 or a Moto G, but if you’re going to plunk money down on the Nokia X, at least it’s a little better option now.
