		<description><![CDATA[If you are a flashaholic like I am, you know how important it is to have a recovery that is effective and has the tools you need. Because of the importance of recoveries, I always get a little excited when one is updated to have new features. Lucky for all of us, Team Win has updated their recovery to include some new and interesting features that I think we can all enjoy.Team Win's recovery project has been updated to version 2.4.2.0 and includes the following features:Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devicesAdd a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added)Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rootedAdd a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systemsCheck and offer to fix root permissions if bro...]]></description>

		<title>TWRP gets updated to 2.4.0, big changes under the hood</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/recoveries/twrp-gets-updated-to-240-big-changes-under-the-hood-r1360</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The popular touch-based recovery TWRP has been updated to version 2.4.0, bringing some major under-the-hood changes and some performance improvements. Included among them are support for exFAT32 SD cards, an improved GUI while running Open Recovery Scripts, and freedom from busybox's 2 GB .tar archive size limit.To be sure, this update is focused less on adding a huge new user-oriented feature and more on improving performance under the hood while laying the groundwork for future improvements. The full changelog, taken directly from the TWRP website , is as follows:Using libtar instead of busybox's tar for better control over tar file creation and breaking the 2GB barrier that busybox imposes (thanks to bigbiff)Support for exFAT formatted sdcards (also thanks to bigbiff)Support for decrypting Samsung TouchWiz encrypted devices including internal and external storage (special thanks to a3955269 for figuring it out)Improvements to OpenRecoveryScript including displaying a prop...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the days when I was rocking my Droid X, I learned a very useful phrase: bootstrap recovery. Koush 's Droid X Bootstrap Recovery  app allowed me to run custom ROMs instead of the bloated and ugly Froyo/Gingerbread MotoBlur. MotoBlur has taken a few steps forward, but Motorola (or is it Verizon?) still has their phones locked down harder than Fort Knox. Have no fear Droid RAZR HD owners as Hashcode , a well known Android developer, has released a way to get custom ROMs running on your phone (along with others in the RAZR family, too).According to Hashcode, his app puts a bootstrap recovery onto your device. He calls it Safestrap because it leaves the stock system alone and allows you to create up to 4 other slots that you can boot custom ROMs on. These are completely separate from the stock system, so nothing bad will happen and you will be able to get back to the stock system at any time.Safestrap is based off of the Team Win Recovery Project . This does not mean you can...]]></description>

		<title>TWRP touch-based recovery gets an on-screen keyboard</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/recoveries/twrp-touch-based-recovery-gets-an-on-screen-keyboard-r971</link>
		<description>TWRP, one of the most popular touch-based recoveries available in the rooted community, has released another ground-breaking update, including a first among all recoveries: an on-screen keyboard. Other features include a terminal command feature and the ability to decrypt your encrypted data partition (using your the new onscreen keyboard to type your password). So how does the on-screen keyboard work? How do the new features affect performance and stability? Here we kick the tires on this significant upgrade to one of the leading touch-based recoveries.Key FeaturesFull details about the latest version can be found on the official TeamWin site , but the biggest change by far is the inclusion of an on-screen keyboard in the recovery, which enables you, for example, to give your nandroid backups names that are easier to remember and enter your password when decrypting an encrypted data partition within recovery. The keyboard includes support for long-press, rapid backspacing by holdin...</description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're one of the many unlucky people who's had to resort to the HTC unlock method for rooting your phone, then you surely know the woes of being unable to flash kernels from recovery. Presently, we've had options such as FlashImageGUI  or booting recovery from a PC, but that's all about to change. Thanks to the geniuses over at Team Win (namely Dees_Troy , s0up , and Shift ), your flashing experiences are about to get a lot easier. The issue stems from the fact that if you boot into recovery normally, the phone won't let you flash to the boot partition. Now, rather than horribly butcher the explanation for how this works, we're just gonna let you hear the stuff straight from one of the developers of the method, Dees_Troy:  So, on a HTC device (and most Android devices) you have a boot partition for the kernel and a recovery partition for a recovery. The 2 partitions are more akin to dual booting operating systems on a laptop. The difference between recove...]]></description>
