Flashy is a remake of a recovery for android called TWRP. Flashy will be able to be installed along side your current OS on your computer and im going to be adding support so that Flashy can configure the OS. On boot you will be presented with a screen that will ask if you would like to boot into Flashy or the installed OS. Im going to be addding support for multiple OS's and you will be able to chose which one to boot at startup. It would be good if any upcoming OS's would put a file in the root directory of their OS called "Os.Info" containg a list of vairiables that Flashy can use. I will add a list of Vairiables onto this thread when i get to the point of adding that part into Flashy.

Im posting this topic to just make people aware of it and any suggestions would be nice! thanks :D/>/>

I'm working in this project as much as I can but I have to spare some time out of my life to do stuff with family and gf etc, expect a usable release in less than a week.

There are a few ways to take screenshots of recoveries, through use of emulators or debug tools. Chances are this is just a screenshot taken by a developer posted online.

I'm gonna add a theming option into the settings so you can chose between multiple designs and make your own. So I will make the new one the default and add the old one to the list. Thanks for pointing that out.

EDIT: In TWRP 3.0.0.0 the theme has changed again, the buttons are the same shape but light grey with a dark grey background, I would take a screenshot but I can't.
