BootMenu 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, BootMenu 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)

- Highly customized & added function like backup individual partition.
- Safety features. - install BootMenu 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.
Quote: 2nd-System :
- Run a second system on abandon webtop partition
- Great for testing ROM.
- Recommended for ROM development.
Quote: 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)
Quote: 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 BootMenu Manager to enable/disable it
Quote: Integration with android OS (via BootMenu Manager app) :
- Configure BootMenu & 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
