What is a custom recovery and how to install one with minimal time

A custom recovery is  a special interface in the phone which can be accessed by a special key combination. This interface allows you to do many things like installing custom roms, kernel zips and many more. Examples of really popular recoveries are ClockWorkMod Recovery, Team Win Recovery Project ( TWRP ) and Philz Recovery




 Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP )

 TWRP is a fairly good recovery with a really good and simple interface. Options aren't that complicated and you will be sure to love this recovery

ClockWorkMod Recovery

The first custom recovery ever made for phones. This recovery is a really simple one to use but the only downside is that its interface is only controllable through the volume buttons. Overall, an okay recovery to use









Philz Recovery

A fairly new competitor in the recovery competition, Its interface is very interesting as it is a full touch screen interface like TWRP recovery. Many options to choose from to satisfy your needs.
