[Tutorial] 4.1.2 TWRP Touch-Screen Recovery and Root Tutorial

[GizBeat]

This has some great options compared to CWM and it's touchscreen interface.
   
Already tested out. It works with 4.1.2, but if you've updated to 4.2.1, it may not work.

Some of the Features of TWRP
• Power off from recovery (CWM just has reboot)
• Can save custom recovery settings
• Ability to choose what you want backed up or restored (eg, just system, system and data, system/data/cache etc...)
• Default partitions to backup
• Default zip folder location
• Lots of default color themes
• Default Time Zone
• Zip Signature Verification
• Zip md5 Verification (looks for file with zipname.zip.md5)
• Ability to flash multiple zips in one go
• Compressed backup option (saves about 40% space but slower)
• Ability to auto restore GAPPS on zip flash (for CM based ROMS)
• Ability to auto reboot after successful flashes
• Some devices utilize their capacitive buttons in recovery
• Home - Main Menu
• Menu - Advanced Menu
• Back - Up a Menu Level
• Search - Select Current Selection
• Battery Level and Timestamp

• Click 'Download' on Flash Tools
• Plug in Phone - You will see it install the recovery. It should finish with a green circle
• Boot into recovery by holding vol+ and power together
• Select 'update from SD'
• Navigate to the previously copied superuser zip and select it
• Reboot and verify root

Highly recommend this recovery instead of CWM. This is the same method as the previous tutorial, but flash the TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery.

Note, you will not be able to restore your CWM backups with this recovery. Make a TWRP backup.

The app suggested by TWRP to manage ROMS when Android is booted is GooManager. However, I'm using Rom Customizer and it blows away GooManager IMO. GooManager may hold the advantage if you've got a mainstream device, but otherwise it's got nothing going for it.
