cd twrpdtgen
python3 -m twrpdtgen recovery.img

3. rename ~/TWRP/twrpdtgen/output/samsung/a12s/omni_a12s.mk to twrp_a12s.mk

4. delete vendorsetup.sh

5. to add extra partitions in recovery.fstab

# V3
/system_image emmc /dev/block/mapper/system flags=backup=0;flashimg=1;display="System Image"

/vendor_image emmc /dev/block/mapper/vendor flags=backup=0;flashimg=1;display="Vendor Image"

/product_image emmc /dev/block/mapper/product flags=backup=0\;flashimg=1\;display=\"Product Image\"";

/odm_image emmc /dev/block/mapper/odm flags=backup=0;flashimg=1;display="Odm Image"

# External
/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 flags=storage;wipeingui;removable

/usb-otg auto /dev/block/sda1 /dev/block/sda flags=display="USB-OTG";storage;wipeingui;removable

5.1
Change

# /sdcard sdfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 flags=display=sdcard

Also
# /preload ext4 /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/hidden flags=display=preload

# /keydata ext4 /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/keydata flags=display=keydata

# /keyrefuge f2fs /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/keyrefuge flags=display=keyrefuge

To add system wipe

/system ext4 /dev/block/mapper/system flags=display=system;backup=1;wipeingui

6. Make a copy of recovery.fstab and rename to twrp.flags

7. Move both files recovery.fstab and twrp.flags to recovery/root/system/etc
(create these folders)

8. open twrp_a12s.mk and
8.1. delete the 3 lines below # Inherit from those products, Most specific first.
replace those 3 lines with this
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/aosp_base.mk)

8.2. delete $(call inherit-product, vendor/omni/config/gsm.mk)
8.3. change omni to twrp

9. open AndroidProducts.mk
change omni to twrp (4 spots)

10. Add to boardconfig.mk

TW_NO_SCREEN_TIMEOUT := true
TW_NO_SCREEN_BLANK := true
#TW_SCREEN_BLANK_ON_BOOT := true
TW_DEVICE_VERSION := 1_physwizz

To save space
-----------------------
if not u have to compress kernel image or reduce the size of kernel
BOARD_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME := Image.gz
TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := $(DEVICE_PATH)/prebuilt/Image.gz

# compress ramdisk
BOARD_RAMDISK_USE_LZMA := true
LZMA_RAMDISK_TARGETS := recovery

# To save more space
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD := true

Using AIK to unpack and repack can also reduce size
