[RECOVERY][TOUCH] TWRP 2.3.1.1 with on-screen keyboard! [2012-10-30]

island3r · Jul 23, 2012

NOTICE: I am not the developer of TWRP. I just compiled it for the HTC Desire with permission from TeamWin. Huge thanks to them and to Dees_Troy for his help. Source code is available at their website.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, 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:

CHANGELOG:
Complete changelogs can be found here.

DOWNLOADS:

- TWRP 2.2.0 recovery.img md5:36DC01E924BD5853859C912ECAD46123

BUGS:
Since this is not an official release, bugs are to be expected. That said, after some extensive testing I did not discover any bugs, but you are free to report anything you find.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Currently due to some restrictions in the source code, this build of the recovery can mount the sd-ext partition ONLY if it is formatted as ext4. Other filesystems (such as ext3) are currently unsupported.
This will be fixed in future versions. --- FIXED

SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode.

Does this recovery use any of the networking features of the CyanogenMod kernel? I've reduced the size of recovery.img from 3.5 to 2.9 MB by disabling many of the networking features in the kernel and using LZMA for the ramdisk compression. For the kernel features, I have used 90 % of the 4ext Touchcovery kernel configuration. Does this recovery know to align the partitions when creating them?

THis look awesome
Thankx

Has anyone found any themes for this recovery for our Desire's resolution? Doesn't appear to be much around.

You reduced the size of TWRP or the stock CWM recovery? I don't see why the recovery needs to be any smaller, since that doesn't make any difference to the end user.

Yes the created partitions are aligned automatically.

Here are two themes that are compatible:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25762-480x800-21-icscyan-system-style-theme/
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23782-480x80021-ice-cream-sandwich/

There are many other themes as well but they do not support 480x800 so they need some tinkering. I'll look into it when I have some free time.

Since the topic was dedicated to TWRP, I have meant the size of TWRP.

That's true, but it does matter to the developers since it might allow adding more features. The recovery partition is limited in size after all!

From that perspective yes you are right. From what I understand a this moment future versions are most likely going to be bugfixes. So space isn't going to be a problem in the near future. However what you did was very clever. Did you use lzma for compression?

Yes, I used LZMA for the ramdisk compression!
