Usually, custom recoveries utilize the device's physical buttons to interact with the tool. You can use the Volume keys to navigate and the Home or Power button to select an option. But, there are also flavors of custom recoveries, such as TWRP Recovery 2.2.0, that allows you to use the devices'
touchscreen to interact with the tool.
Some Android tablets don't have any physical buttons, making it impossible to interact with custom recovery requiring those physical buttons. That is where TWRP Recovery came to the scene. This custom recovery lets you use the tool by just tapping on the screen. TWRP Recovery became popular and began to expand to other Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510.
Senior XDA Developers member elegos shares a guide on how to install TWRP Recovery for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510. Using this tool, you can now interact and perform recovery operations by just tapping on the tablet's screen.
