[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL][TWRP 2.6.3.1]
Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
