OxygenOS is known for its wide-range of developer support and users always prefer third-party customizations and flashing other files in order to get a more unique look and feel with more functionalities. That comes with flashing a custom recovery, installing root access, flashing mod files, custom firmware, and more. However, Android users always have to unlock the device bootload at first to get eligible for third-party customizations. Talking about the TWRP Recovery, it’s a third-party fully-featured and easy-to-use custom recovery file that can be used on Android devices by flashing it as a stock alternative. But the stock recovery doesn’t have advanced options to play with it. While the custom recovery like TWRP has so many useful features for all the noobs or advanced users that can be used in a simple way. Once done, users can easily flash third-party firmware, patch updates, root file, mod file, take a Nandroid backup & restore, performing the factory reset, and more.
