You can always just do nandroid backup and restore via adb.

Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having root and a custom recovery? Is it really a nandroid backup or more of a app backup? From what I understand about adb backup is it's much like titanium backup, which requires a lot more set-up then just a standard nandroid restore.

Before JesusFreke's recovery had a nandroid option, it had to be done via adb. Nandroid is part of (or at least used to be) the SDK.

For me, anything I can do to keep anything by koush off of my phone is worth it.

Aw ok, I was talking about the adb backup option (when phone is booted not in recovery). That's what I thought you were talking about. Have you tried it on this recovery?

I really liked this Recovery. But it started doing all kinds of strange things. My backups didn't want to work. Then it was having issues flashing, most anything. But that was on v2.0 . Haven't tried v2.1

After flashing Zen's Cm9 ROM, and somehow losing root (a permission error that I was too lazy to fix), I was pleased to have 2.1.1 restore nightly 255 with no issues.

Cyanogen plans(if not already in use) on having root as a option via settings. He did have the options on the gerrit a while back, i havent been keeping up on all the stuff being reviewed for ics. So its not like root will be completely gone. So one can easily turn off root and back on when needed.

Honestly if it works perfectly I like this option. I can think of a few people who would be better off without root but a custom rom like CM adding a lot to the Android experience... But at the same time.. I also feel that its just extra crap that not really needed..

Just an extra step for rooted users.... Root permission is off by default so it has to be enabled.

It makes your phone more secure in a lot of ways to not have superuser enabled all the time like miui does, but it's required if you have/use a lot boot-up apps that require root on boot.

Thanks, and while I really wish the Hardware keyboard would, I somehow doubt it ever will with TWRP...


Also, is it possible to customize the keyboard prior to flashing? or is it compiled within the recovery partition? To do things like remove the Voice talk icon and adjust spacing and remove/disable all those other things that dont actually work in recovery.

    Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

    Phone look:


    Tablet look:


    CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
    -Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
    -Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
    -Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
    -Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
    -A few other fixes and tweaks

    CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
    -Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
    -Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
    -Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
    -Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
    -Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
    -Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
    -Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
    -Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

    CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
    Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
    -Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
    -Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
    -Updated exFAT to latest commits
    -Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
    -Update SuperSU binary
    -Fixed saving of backup partitions list
    -Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
    -Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
    -Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
    -Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
    -Various other bug fixes and tweaks

    Notes about encrypted backups:
    Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.

    Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

    DOWNLOAD:
    The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
    Play Store Link
    Direct Download
    1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
    2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
    3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
    OR:
    You can find more information and download links on our website!

    BUGS:
    If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

    SUPPORT:
    Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
