TWRP or CWM - Will any Rom work - General Questions and Answers

Hi all. N00b question but id like to know if CWM and TWRP are the same. I am currently using i9500 and TWRP have a official release while CWM does not. My question is - Will any rom work with TWRP because id like to use TWRP. Most of the roms i see say you should install CWM and they are compatible with CWM, dont see any mention of TWRP?
Thanks

Thanks for confirming, I do see that cwm also provides a touch interface. Went with twrp the ui is really nice

[Q] What is the most stable CWM version for the LG P500/P509?

Hey everyone, I've been having my second brick dilemma over the past 24 hours. It seems that the latest version available via ROM Manager hasn't been installing correctly for Optimus One users (I've seen multiple cases). I'm very weary in trying to install CWM through RM again, and I want to know what the latest stable version you guys have is. Either that, or a recovery similar to CWM and can install CM10 again for me.
CWM 5.0.2.0, I have been using it for ten months without a single issue.

Alright. Do you know where I can find the recovery image? I don't trust ROM Manager to install it, as that's the one that was being installed when my phone bricked.

There's a list of flashable recovery zips in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
To install, just flash them using your current recovery.

Seeing as how I have the Optimus T (Basically the One with the old BB, new one doesn't allow networking as far as I can tell), would Touch work with it? I updated via ROM this time and now have 5.0.2.0 installed. :highfive:
Stable recovery
TOUCH RECOVERY of CWM 5.0.2.7 by vivekalady is the most stable . you can get it in the forum.or u may try twrp recovery.

Thanks. As I'm using the Optimus T with an upgraded Base Band, I'll hold off on the Touch version for now, but I'll definitely keep it in mind and try it later. There's really no part of this forum dedicated to the T, because it has a weird resemblance to the One but isn't like it in all ways.

HELP-Cannot install ANY recovery

Hi. I really started to hate android.
OK,What's wrong with my O1? I'm using stock 2.3.3 unrooted to flash recovery. I rooted, i flashed a recovery and bang...just a hard reset no recovery installed! I tried with ROM Manager and few other apps, but it''s not succesful. I've tried to flash V10H.kdz (2.2.2 froyo) and try again but..no. ROM Manager says its succesfully installed CWM and when i click BOOT TO RECOVERY it boots to...hard reset. What is wrong with my O1?!
All new users flashing recovery through rom manager getting this problem
Already a post there of this
Anyways chk this link

first the method work for many if u follow the instructions carefully
second if u hate android who cares just go we were only helping u because u asked not becausr u oredered
Ok, i was angry. I DO NOT HATE ANDROID. But it's obviously not my favourite. I just don't like its UI. I want XPERIA-ICS as XPERIA TimeScape UI has the best UI for me, and Sense too (but we don't have any stable working sense ROM's).
So can someoen rpovide me older version of CWM for old baseband? I can flash it with recovery flasher, and please let it be in .img format, as recoveries in .zip format cannot be flashed.
I Have CWM in ZIP format, but i cant flash with with AmonRA,wich im using. So hwo to remove amonRA,and install CWM properly?

Flash cwm over amonra.. same.. like you flash a rom through recovery.
You can later theme your phone just like xperia or sense.
Hi I have a suggestion for u
Find an app to reboot on fastboot then use this(download a good recovery image coz the one in the one provided in this tuto is bad)
Good luck!

CWM vs TWRP - Which one?

Oy, I gotta be a newb....
I've been using CWM for a looong time, then I switched to TWRP. It seems to work slightly faster, but I was wondering...is TWRP better overall for our partitioning, or does CWM do a decent enough job? I like the feature in TWRP, but I hear theat CMW Touch can do everything the samw way...
Any thoughts?
Looks to me CM lacks features and is slower than twrp but twrp has many features and is faster.
Twrp also saves more recovery space and has the ability to name backups and restore specific functions.
Still, I stick with cwm as I am more likely to use.
Its a matter of opinion. Everyone has a different opinion. Like SomCom said. TWRP has more features than CWM. That features you see in CWM is in TWRP. You can also theme TWRP. Don't know if you can do that in CWM though.. in my opinion TWRP has a better UI. Looks more holo.

Ok, I'll stick with CMW for now, but will upgrade to TWRP for future experimentation...
BTW, did you say you have CARBON ROM on your Blaze? Link Me, link me! Does it work with Wi-Fi?

Its in the Dev section. There's two versions. One is SomComs which is built from source. Mine is a dirty port.. And no. WiFi is not working on either of them.

It will all be based on preference... But I love twrp I currently have 2.5 on my lg Optimus g and I have had no problems with it ever.

Interesting... I've wondered about the differences as well. Been happy with CWM (currently using the touch version) but I like the idea of being able to label my backups in TWRP. I might have to give it a go.
If love TWRP's interface so far but I've found one minor downfall... it doesn't add a reboot option on the power menu like CWM did. The "reboot into recovery" option. Everything else is great. The ability to customize the options, name your backups, scroll down the list of files, etc... very nice.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. I forgot the reboot options don't pop up until after you select Reboot from the power menu. Duh! :screwy:

Use TWRP Recovery, it's one of the best you can find for the hTC Explorer. Here's a good guide on installing it - theunlockr . com/2013/03/18/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-the-htc-explorer

Don't. Trust me, don't. Even if you want to, Do the 2.3.3.0 version. Any version above that, do not flash as they'll end up in Updating Binary error while flashing some ROMs.

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiFi - Help with LineageOS 13

Hello, i tried to install the LineageOS 13 on my Tab 2 10.1 WiFi (P5110) but i cant boot it completely (it sucks at boot after installing google apps). I really have no idea what i need for this tab. Maybe some of you friendly users can give me the correct download links for the correct LineageOS ROM, Kernel/etc(if needed and explain how i can flash the kernel?), TWRP and files to root the tablet?
I really hope someone can help me with it, im stucking already with it since 4 hours, i tried everything but nothing works...
Best regards Kevin
Fixed,
the problem was the TWRP. It couldnt flash the SuperSU zip and couldnt flash the ROM.
Use PhilzTouch and now everything works!

I used the link from the LineageOS Install Wiki: https: //twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytab2101.html
So its version: 2.8.5.0
There will be an official espressowifi and espresso3g TWRP soon, until that you can use my common TWRP which is fine.
PhilZ Touch reached EOL, can't tell you to use it anymore for new roms and files.
