Best Way To Install TWRP recovery on Samsung Galaxy E5

 
There are many types of custom recoveries people can install on Android devices but most people only know of three since they are by far and away the most popular of the bunch. The one recovery that gets many people’s votes as the best custom recovery to install on Android devices is Team Win’s TWRP recovery. The main reason people are loving TWRP recovery is that it comes with a touch-based user-interface. A stock recovery traditionally uses the Volume keys and the Power keys to navigate. ClockworkMod recovery also uses those same Volume and Power keys. Team Win’s TWRP recovery gives you the buttons coming from the devices display so you can tap the options with your finger just like you would expect to find from a feature on your Android software version. Apart from that there isn’t a great deal of difference between recoveries and they all give you the same features, most notably for installing custom ROM zip files.
