Advantages of TWRP over CWM on Android

Team win recovery overview

There are 2 types of modified recovery on Android that are widely used today and contain many features. Most of the Android phone users who rooted their phone install an additional recovery right away because the original recovery does not have enough functionality to deal with phones that are having problems. soft brick somehow Boot loop. One of the things a lot of people do is change types Custom ROM This carries the risk of a soft brick, which is why this recovery works so that users can return to their original state of the old cell phone.

The 2 types of recovery replacements that are widely used are: CWM and TWRP and in this article I am only going to discuss a few things about TWRP. Team Win Recovery Project, or commonly called TWRP, has features that surpass CWM, where users no longer have to press the volume key to get to the menu they want and just click as usual, as TWRP supports touchscreen functionality and users do of course not doing everything that is in recovery makes trouble again. Users just need to go to the desired menu as if they entered the cell phone homepage even though they are still in the process of restoring.

There is nothing to be said about installing this TWRP and most of the people have already shared the TWRP suitable for their phones with a group. There, users can interact through the installation procedure. procedure The TWRP installation is the same as CWM and can be done with the help of third party applications like Rashr. be performed or it can also be flashed directly from the original restore. There are several benefits that lead people to use TWRP instead of CWM. This is a file manager function that is right in the recovery process, and the size of TWRP is also almost the same as CWM, although TWRP has many functions.

The file manager feature also has features that are not the same as the original file manager of Android phones and has almost complete features like renaming, moving files or copying files. And one thing the file manager in TWRP doesn’t support is that it can’t copy and paste even though it has a very simple keyboard that supports different symbols. Not only that, the excellent features in TWRP, to see more, see below.

  1. Support touch screen – With this feature, users no longer need to use the volume buttons to get into the menu they want and just press it as if they were already on the mobile home page.
  2. Support file manager – If the user is currently in a boot loop due to a lost system and fortunately already has a backup on the SD card, the user can simply move the backup file to the system via this file manager.
  3. Have several options other than reboot – Paying attention to CWM, when the user is done with everything, click on the reboot menu in the last step, while in TWRP there is an option for a reboot that allows the user to do power off and others.
  4. Have additional settings – In TWRP, the user will see a gear icon and when clicked it will go to a separate setting of the TWRP. The user can adjust everything, including reducing the brightness and so on.
  5. Support lock screen – Although this is just a recovery, it also supports screen lock and users can set how long the screen lock will last in the settings menu.
  6. Supports custom backup and restore – So if you are backing up via CWM, the user can only back up everything or with the intention of doing a full backup, but with TWRP the user can make a backup choice, e.g. B. only back up the data only and not for the system. Likewise with the recovery mechanism, the user is asked to choose what to recover.

That’s all I currently know about TWRP and now I use TWRP too. Typically, this TWRP is widely used on phones that support permanent CWM installation, mainly on Spreadtrum chipsets. It’s not that TWRP doesn’t have a bug / bug, of course it has bugs depending on the person porting it for that type of phone. The most common error comes from a system restore that stops on a system restore and it has an antidote in a flashable file.

Here I don’t want to compare CWM to TWRP as both are restores that help users do various advanced things on their cellphones. CWM and TWRP both have the same usage and the only difference is in their functions. If CWM has a temporary version and is suitable for all mobile phones, and TWRP is also often used as an alternative when users are porting to Permanent CWM. not perform. If you have any questions about any of the above, please comment.

Hopefully useful and good luck
