The Philippines is one of the first few countries to see the Oppo Find 7a as it is not yet released in the United States. After a week of its local launch, a TWRP custom recovery is now supported by the device thanks to developers. Now, users of the Find 7a can manually backup and restore their entire handsets.

TWRP or TeamWin Recovery Project is a touch-based custom recovery tool that was originally made for Nexus devices. It didn’t last long, though, before it was made available for other smartphones and tablets. Using TWRP, not only could you fully backup and restore your Find 7a, but you can also wipe data and install custom roms with it.

We know how much Android users love rooting their smartphones and adding mods (after all, that’s one of the main reasons people prefer Android over iOS) so here’s the download link for Oppo Find 7a’s TWRP.

Once you’ve downloaded the .img file, follow the steps as instructed by TeamWin:

Go into settings and enable USB debugging. On your computer type:

adb reboot bootloader

Your device should now be in fastboot mode. Type the following command, changing the recoveryfilename to the correct path and name of the image you want to flash:

fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img

Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.

Oppo officially launches the Find 7a and at the same time, released the price of the Find 7. In this quick video demonstration, an Oppo representative shows us how the 50MP photos coming from a 13MP camera does its trick and how off-screen and on-screen gestures work.

The idea behind Oppo’s whopping 50-megapixel images is that you take a photo of a still object for a few seconds. What the sensor does is take 10 photos and digitally stitch them altogether to achieve 50MP shots. According to the representative, these images could be printed on a tarpaulin as big as 10 square meters.

The off-screen gestures are pre-set gestures that could function even when the screen is locked. For example, two taps on the screen activates it – pretty much like LG’s Knock On feature. Drawing a circle brings you to the camera, while drawing a letter “V” opens the flashlight. With on-screen gestures, you can customize the symbol for specific functions. In this case, a letter “R” was assigned to let you record videos instantly.

Gestures on video playback are also present thanks to its ColorOS 1.2 on top of its Android 4.3. Swiping the right side vertically while playing videos toggles the volume control while the left is for brightness. Users can also multitask with this device like, for example, watch a video and go write a new message.

These are just some of the many features of Oppo Find 7a. It is now available at any authorized Oppo retailers in the Philippines with a price of Php22,990. Stay tuned for our full review of this new player.
