My personal favorite custom recovery, TWRP, has received an update to version 2.2.2 for a whole ton of devices. The latest version brings along with it several improvements and bugfixes. If you’ve never used TWRP before, be sure to check out the video review I shot of an earlier version a while back.

Here’s what’s up with the latest build:

  • Significantly improved sd-ext handling (ext partitions on sdcards)
  • Changes to kinetic scrolling in file selectors
  • Fixed a problem with using periods in backup names
  • Fixed problems in XML layouts with mounting system and USB storage
  • Fixed a problem with unmounting a partition before formatting during restore
  • Add Jelly Bean decrypt support
  • Updated 320×480 theme to match others (thanks to Llewelyn)
  • Improve “symlinking” of /data/media to either /sdcard or /emmc
  • Added sanitizing of device IDs for invalid characters (thanks to bigbiff)
  • Fixed free space calculation when switching backup devices on /data/media devices
  • Fixed a problem with using OpenRecoveryScript to create a backup without providing a backup name

Now, for the list of supported devices and where you need to go to grab the appropriate recovery files:

I’m sure there are other devices as well, but I’ll leave that to you to find over on XDA for yourself. You can also grab the latest TWRP via the GooManager app, or straight from the  TWRP website itself.

Remember, OMG!Droid cannot be held responsible for any damage you do to your device. Just remember to read all the directions for your device and you’ll be fine.
