Back in July, we introduced to our readers for the first time the Team Win Recovery Project. It’s an alternative to ClockworkMod Recovery and has become quite popular among the rooted and modded community by giving them a much more comprehensive way of creating backups and even editing them through the recovery stage. 

It’s received a beefy update to version 2.3.1.0 and it has some features that should get some flashers happy. Included in the update is a complete rebase to the AOSP code for Jelly Bean and a completely re-written backup restore, etc. in C++ for better maintenance down the road. In layman’s terms, it does what it did before, but a whole lot better.

If you haven’t heard of the Team Win Recovery, it is completely touch-based (no more volume rocker BS) easy to navigate recovery. Built from AOSP, it has had many custom features added and is quite widely used by the Android community alongside ClockworkMod Recovery. It received a major update yesterday, which brings a full keyboard that users can access to edit file names and other actions, a pseudo terminal emulator, and backup archive splitting. 

Full Changelog:

• On-screen keyboard in recovery! — supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
• Name new backups and rename existing backups
• Rename files and folders in the file manager
• Pseudo-terminal emulator
• Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
• Backup archive splitting — allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
• Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
• Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
• Improved zip install compatibility
