If you are an Android enthusiast who tinkers with his phone, chances are you have the popular and open source TWRP recovery installed on your Android phone. While Android as a whole has left its holo past behind, TWRP was still stuck in those dark ages. Not anymore, though. The three member dev-team behind TWRP has released a new update with a brand new theme.
The new TWRP 3.0 update is rolling out to almost all the devices that were supported before. In addition to a new theme, this update also brings a true terminal emulator. Here is a complete changelog of TWRP 3.0:
- Completely new theme – Much more modern and much nicer looking
- True Terminal Emulator – Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc.
- 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.
- Flashing of sparse images – On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI
- 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
- SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
- Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools
- Update AOSP base to 6.0
- A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
