I just switched to Philz since I've already used CWM and starting using TWRP on this phone. I'm liking Philz with DFuses Background image but everything's different then TWRP. I personally think I like TWRP the best but Philz is a close second since I'm new to it

 

The main reason people like Philz and cwm is its otg enabled. Meaning you can plug a USB drive into it and make backups/restore backups/flash zips from the external USB drive so you don't have to have it on your external SD or internal SD card.

 

Wait CWM and Philz have otg support? Sweet. I tried to do that using TWRP and it said otg wasn't supported for this device

 

Personally I like this one:

/shameless plug

Twrp works fine for me, no problems at all.

 

Like the way it looks but I needs my otg support.

 

How could I switch from Twrp to Philz because I want to backup to a USB before I install that fire aokp

Thanks

 

Instructions are in the OP, download the avant exploded app, make sure you're using supersu and have busy box installed. Then download the recovery.img from the OP and launch the app and have it download whatever recovery, doesn't matter. After it finishes downloading, copy the recovery.img you got from the OP and copy it into the corresponding folder in the "Exploded" folder in your internal sd, then go back into the app and tap "make it happen". Reboot to recovery and bam.

 

If dfuse allows it I have a flashable.

 

He's working on including it in his app, he's asked for no flash able zip though.

 

I'm gonna added to my app but it is cool as long as I get the credit for making philz

 

So sweet like Georgia pie

 

Here's a link to the philz recovery. Just flash in whatever custom recovery you have. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x73td486xpbw14r/Philz Recovery.zip?dl=0
