[RECOVERY] TWRP Recovery [v2.8.3.0] topic

CM dropped CWM support in CM-12.0 in favor of CM's own recovery, which has different bugs and is generally very simplified recovery (does only wiping/flashing images). So I decided to go on with a different recovery from now on.

WARNING: This recovery uses LVM. Using this recovery without LVM installed is useless.

Requirements

• U8800 with 404020 baseband (If you ever installed 2.3 stock firmware, you're ok!)
