Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project 2.5, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. 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.


Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for 2.5 features

Older Releases

 

What's new in 2.4:
-Using libtar instead of busybox's tar for better control over tar file creation and breaking the 2GB barrier that busybox imposes
-Support for exFAT formatted sdcards
-Support for decrypting Samsung TouchWiz encrypted devices including internal and external storage (special thanks to a3955269 for figuring it out)
-Improvements to OpenRecoveryScript including displaying a proper GUI while the script is running
-Added wipe cache and dalvik after ADB Sideload
-Replaced many system calls with their native C counterparts
-Fixed bugs in file manager where it would display an empty list after moving or deleting a folder
-Fixed AOSP recovery commands to run after decryption on encrypted devices
-Other minor bugfixes and improvements
-cm10.1 build support

What's new in 2.3:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)

While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.

Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.

What's new in 2.2:
On-screen keyboard! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
Name new backups before creation and rename existing backups
Rename files and folders in the file manager
Pseudo-terminal emulator
Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
Improved zip install compatibility
Updated update-binary source code
Numerous small bug fixes and improvements

What was new in 2.1:
Zip queuing as seen in TWRP 1.1.x is back
Slider control (swipe to confirm most actions aka swipe to wipe)
Lockscreen (with slider to unlock)
Basic file manager (copy, move, delete, and chmod any file)
Added support for devices with /data/media (most Honeycomb tablets, new ICS devices like Galaxy Nexus)
Displays sizes of each partition in the backup menu
Added listbox GUI element (currently used for listing time zones)
Updated stock XML layouts to be more consistent and easier to port to different resolutions
XML layout files are significantly smaller
Partitions available backup are more accurate for some devices
Removed unneeded error messages (/misc errors, unable to stat sd-ext, etc.)
Fixed a bug with blkid detection code
Fixed bug where a blank line was inserted between every line of text during zip installs
Fixed a bug during zip installs where an invalid zip would cause TWRP to get stuck in the zip install
Added setting for themers to toggle simulation mode to make theming easier
New devices added - Galaxy Nexus GSM & CDMA (preview only, manual install), Acer Iconia Tab A500, HTC Vivid, Motorola Defy
Added support for .jpg images in the theme engine
Changed images for stock tablet theme - makes tablet builds about 500KB smaller
Removed unneeded non-GUI images from GUI - makes all builds about 100KB smaller

In addition to the above new features, TWRP 2.2 features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

Re-work AOSP and TWRP code to improve license compatibility between GPL and Apache
Fixed a problem with directory permissions on split archive backups
Fixed a problem with md5 verification of backups
Added a search function to libtar (thanks to kokotas)
Improve handling of XML errors (fix permissions)
Fixed handling of subpartitions
Improvements to recovery.fstab flags
Fixed a problem with decryption not being able to locate the decryption key in some situations

 

2.4.4.0
Added another libtar hardlink workaround to fix restore of some backups (usually related to Ubuntu Touch)
More fixes for the file selector
Switched from using busybox md5sum to a direct C function call
Fixed capturing the exit status of tar based backups/restore - TWRP will display that there was an error if there was one again
Update exFAT to latest commits
Added a build flag to disable using the ioctl for screen blanking

2.4.3.0
Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)
NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.
Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar
Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff
Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices
Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)
Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup
Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code
Fix Military Time setting persisting

2.4.2.1
Fix screen timeout by adding correct brightness config file to BoardConfig.mk

2.4.2.0
Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devices
Add a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added)
Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rooted
Add a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systems
Check and offer to fix root permissions if broken
Add an option for a 24 hour clock display instead of AM/PM (aka military time)
Move stock recovery reflash check to occur during the reboot cycle
Add support for some MTK6xxx devices
Change libtar to vfork to help prevent memory problems
Add a "clicked" effect to most buttons, file selector, and listbox
Improve timezone listbox to be more like file selector (per pixel kinetic scrolling, etc)
Remove some no longer used settings (Forced MD5 sum on zips, size checking on image backups)
Other minor bugfixes and improvements

2.3.3.0
Added better handling of wiping on /data/media devices with Android 4.2 to help prevent multiple upgrades of the file system for multiple users
NOTE: It is not recommended to jump back and forth between 4.1 and 4.2 ROMs. If you do, this may trigger additional upgrades and you will have to manually move your files back to the "single user" layout when going back to 4.1.

Fixed renaming of backups when a space is present
Added decrypt button to mount page if you cancel decryption during boot
Added ignore blkid flag support
Fixed handling of MTD partitions during mount

FAQ

Q. How do I see/use/change between internal and external SDCARD?

A. Please use the Mount page to change between using internal and external. Click Using internal sdcard will allow you to use your internal sdcard to install ROMs. Click Using external sdcard will allow you to use your external sdcard to install ROMs. Please dont use the file browser to find the mounts as this is done for you automatically when you change options and navigate back to the Install page.

To be clear this works as follows:
1. internal emmc sdcard mounted on /emmc
2. external sdcard mounted on /sdcard
3. You can choose what storage you want to use on most screens by selecting "Use external SD" or "Use internal storage"
4. Otherwise you can browse to the appropriate directories

Q. Are TWRP backups compatible with CWM and vice versa?
A. You cannot flash a CWM backup in TWRP and vice versa. Please flash appropriate recovery to restore your backup. You can restore the backup, flash back to your wanted recovery, then make a backup in that recovery for later use.

Q. Can I have TWRP and CWM installed at the same time?
A. There is only one recovery partition that can hold a specific version of recovery. CWM, TWRP2, and Samsung 3e are able to be flashed to recovery, but none can coexist.

Q. Does USB mounting work in recovery?
A. Sorry haven't updated this. It works with internal and external sdcard.

Q. Where is the "Delete battery stats opton?"
A. We removed this option in 2.1. Please see https://plus.google.com/u/0/10505198...ts/FV3LVtdVxPT as reference.

Q. Installing Roms
A.All ROMs should be able to be installed.

Please post in this thread if you have any issues flashing.

Q. How does MD5 checking work?
A.To create a md5 for a rom perform the following steps:
1. Open a terminal emulator or use adb and cd to the directory your file is located.
2. Execute busybox md5sum rom.zip > rom.zip.md5 where rom.zip is the file you want to create a md5 for. Make sure that the md5 file has the same prefix as your original file with md5 appended with a period.
3. Check force checking of md5 in Settings in TWRP or after the Install file selector page to check the md5.

Q. I can't name my backups.
A. Make sure to hit enter on the keyboard and not the back button to accept the name.

Q. What's next?
A. Fixing bugs.

flashing now!

Works well, only issue does not mount to pc in recovery, not sure if that is recovery issue or "leaked" ICS issue.

Works Great!!!

You can change that option in the mount page to use external sd on the install page. This recovery can also be installed by goomanager from the market.

do we have to remove cwm to install this?
does it become your default recovery when you install it?

thanks
