If you’ve been tweaking your Android device for a while now, you would have already come across TWRP. This is one of the most widely used custom recoveries in the Android third-party development community and has grown in popularity and usage over the years. If you’ve flashed some custom ZIPs to your phone, chances are you’ve used TWRP. So heads up, a new version of your favorite custom recovery just dropped.


TWRP is probably the most widely supported custom recovery for Android, but the fact of the matter is, it’s been a while since it got a big update from its official developers. So here we get the 3.0.0 release, which brings a ton of new stuff. Most obviously, a new theme is up front, more in keeping with Android’s current look. Here’s a list of what you can expect – not a complete changelog, but should tell you the main changes.

– Completely new theme – Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)

– True Terminal Emulator – Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
– Language translation – It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
– Flashing of sparse images – On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
– Adopted storage support for select devices – TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
– Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP – includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
– SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
– Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
– Update AOSP base to 6.0
– A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks

Just looking at the images, we certainly like new sleeker and cleaner lines on the new look TWRP. But we do advice to take some care in using it to flash stuff – a lot of changes mean there might be incompatibilities here and there. Smart move will be to keep an older version of TWRP handy.
