Installing a custom recovery on your Android smartphone is among the initial steps while you're trying to install any kind of custom software like a custom ROM, kernels, and more. TWRP is the most widely used custom recoveries around which offers features like ADB sideloading as well as partition-wise backup and restore functionality besides the general ability to install packages or wiping storages. Its intuitive GUI (unlike the forgotten CMW) makes it easy to get tasks accomplished even if you have limited know-how. While TWRP is open source, leading to unofficial versions, the developers of TWRP are hard at work adding official support for more and more devices by the day. Today, a few more smartphones are getting added to this list and these include the ASUS ZenFone Max M2, Lenovo Tab4 Plus, UMIDIGI F1 Play, and Vestel Venus V4.
