Install TWRP Recovery and Root Xiaomi Redmi Note 2: TeamWin recovery project or simply TWRP recovery is software which allows you to install unofficial firmware on your device. Most people prefer to use TWRP recovery because it has a touch-based user interface which makes flashing an image very simple. Earlier it supports only Nexus devices but now it is available for a wide range of phones. It also comes with various customizations supports such as gaining root access, making a Nandroid backup, installing a custom kernel, removing bloatware, etc. It has an XML based Graphic User Interface which gives an advantage of modifying the recovery, ultimately makes it the best android custom recovery.

When comes to restoring the backup data TWRP allows you to Select as many partitions whereas in CWM recovery you can restore only one partition. Most people install the custom recovery to tweak their devices and when it comes to the installation of custom ROMs both CWM and TWRP work great but one feature takes TWRP recovery to a higher level i.e. you can access the file manager of your device when you are in recovery mode. Adb commands plays an important role while installing TWRP recovery which makes complexes for beginners whereas there is only one click installation process for Clockwork mode recovery via Rom manager app owned by CWM.

Installing the custom ROMs, backing up and restoring the data takes much time to complete the process. TWRP recovery has a Lock screen feature which ultimately turns off the screen with a slider lock after a while of starting the process. Now according to me, both CWM and TWRP recovery works flawlessly for the installation of custom ROMs. There are not many differences between these two recoveries; it depends on the user as both the recovery performs the same action. If you are a beginner then better go with TWRP recovery as it has a clean interface with large buttons which reduces the chances of mistakes while tweaking the devices.
