What is Boot Menu Manager?
Boot Menu Manager is like a second-stage loader. It run after Motorola bootloader and hijack android initial boot process. It allows you to to run custom command before booting android, run customized CWM-based recovery & booting from a second system partition. (Most people call this dual-booting.)
So, in summary, Boot Menu Manager is an almost complete package for toying with your phone.
It was specially design to work with our locked bootloader system & to prevent software brick.
(Trust me, you'll be using less fastboot after this)

Features
Fail safe hijack operation :
- Loaded on each boot.
- Configurable timeout, auto-boot to default setting.
- Force showing Boot Menu Manager when boot using BP HW Diag & Boot AP
CWM-based Recovery :
- Based on latest open source CWM-5.5.0.4
- Touch-able interface.(Experimental features)
- Highly customized & added function like backup individual partition.
- Safety features. - install hijack, install root, backup & protect root.
- Safe partition format operation (Won't do real format of our locked/signed partition, just rm -r *)
- System integrity check on exit of recovery : ensure system is bootable in next boot
- Auto-removed file protection flag : ensure 100% successful nandroid restore
- Working ADB & Mass-storage : ADB service is available as soon as Recovery is started.
- Dual operation : Select between 1st & 2nd system.
2nd-System :
- Run a second system on abandon webtop partition
- Great for testing ROM.
- Recommended for ROM development.
Custom init (via 2nd-init):
- Boot android with customized init environment
-Enable custom service
-Disable stock background service (service like qe)- Bypass bp-tools (In some kernel - ChinaRetail)
Insecure adbd:
- Always run adb as root, so there's no need to run su command each time
- Custom adb reboot mapping
Code:adb reboot recovery -> Reboot to custom recovery adb reboot second -> Reboot to 2nd-system adb reboot stockrecovery -> Reboot to stock recovery
- adb remount with noatime,nodirtime flag
subsequent call to this command will remout /system as ro.- This feature is disabled by default. Use Boot Menu Manager app to enable/disable it
Integration with android OS (via Boot Menu Manager app) :
- Configure boot & recovery option.
- Clean uninstall option
Other recovery package lack this option & leave a leftover files on your system.
(this leftover files cause OTA update to fail)- Reboot widget
