Fairphone use TWRP only for the OpenSource Android FairphoneOpen

The standard FairphoneOS (GMS based) have still the crappy / ugly standard Android Recovery, which can only install signed OS images. nothing more.

So TWRP is a way better for us.
When you have installed TWRP in the recovery, you can:

Backup full OS
Android (GMS based)
Android AOSP (Fairphone Open)
Sailfish

After you have backed up - you can install other OS, like Android straight from the recovery.
Afterwards, wipe and restore the Backup again.

Of course, this is no real DualBoot, because restoring the Backup take some time, looking forward to have a real DualBoot Solution, where i can switch between Android and Sailfish.
