TWRP is one of the popular touch-based custom recoveries for Android phones that allows you to flash various custom files on your phone, backup the entire system data, wipe the phone, and so on. While CWM works pretty much the same way as TWRP, the latter one has got an user interface different than the former one.

Once you have flashed a custom recovery and gained root access on your phone, you should be able to get started with flashing custom ROMs, custom kernels, custom files, and so on. These are the actual weapons that let you fully change the functionality of your phone; from the appearance of the phone to the internal functionality, everything gets changed when you flash these files on your phone.
