Add Personal Messages to Your Moto X Boot Animation with Bootiescreen

Although you don’t normally see the boot animation very often, especially on a device with a pretty stable ROM, the inevitable and occasional (or perhaps frequent) reboot prompts you to sit through the whatever flashy wave, colorful pulsating icon, or even a bland Android mascot for those 10 or so seemingly “eternal” seconds. If you’re looking for an easy way to make it that much more interesting on the Moto X, you may want to check out Bootiescreen.

Developed by XDA Forum Member geeksunny, Bootiescreen does exactly what the ‘owners info’ option in Android settings does to the lock screen: inserts a custom text message into the boot animation. Because the app changes clogo, only Moto Xs that are rooted and have a locked bootloader will be able to use Bootiescreen. Unlike ‘owners info’ however, you are allowed some flexibility and customization, including:

• font size


• font color


• the text font (can only be chosen from system fonts as of now)


• the location of the message on the boot animation

Geeksunny has provided a simple method of personalizing a custom boot screen graphic with a message in the original post, but has plans to integrate a more direct method of installing and personalizing custom boot animations in a future update. Additionally, Bootiescreen is open source, so you can tinker with the app all you like.

Omni Notes: The Open Source Note App

Although there are already a plethora of note taking apps available on the Google Play Store, and with many of them doing a great job of simply taking down notes, it also has to be said that there are now very few factors to differentiate between them. It seems like the bigger names out there such as Evernote and Google Keep, are packing in every feature and function that one can think of, except for one thing: open source code.

Fear not, however, as XDA Senior Member arnesottolo has developed a feature-packed note application that’s also open source, called Omni Notes. What feature or function you might’ve gotten used to in the more popular note applications, chances are you’ll also find them in Omni Notes (with very few exceptions for now). Presented with a nice and clean Holo look, you can add a variety of attachments to notes such as pictures, videos, and locations; activate reminders for events; share the note through supported share intents, lock, and unlock notes; and more.

Notes can be archived, searched with keywords, sorted by title, creation date or last modification date, and can be organized in batch. As of now, there is no synchronization and checklist support, but arnesottolo has made it clear that cloud sync and checklists are the very top priorities.

Although still in its beta phase, Omni Notes is a remarkably polished app that works very well. For the average user, it is a very fitting note app, and even avid note takers may find it a good replacement. If you would like to check Omni Notes out, head over to the application thread for more information.

Simplify Xposed Module Creation with LibXposed

In recent weeks, we’ve had the pleasure of sharing some great Xposed Framework modules. The reason for Xposed’s popularity is quite simple: Small modules are relatively easy to develop, and they allow Xposed users to modify almost every element on their devices without installing a custom ROM. It’s very useful when your device uses a stock or stock-based ROM, but even AOSP ROMs can be enhanced here and there.

Development for Xposed seems to be quite popular at XDA, but it can be even more popular thanks to XDA Recognized Contributor m11kkaa, who created a library to ease the process of creating your own modules. With the current version of this library, you will be able to use a settings app to configure your injections, notify about changes instantly, and add or remove entries in the Settings application. This saves a lot of time, because you don’t have to add these features yourself. The list of features will undoubtedly grow, as this is just the initial release. Furthermore, the project is open source so everyone can contribute by adding code.

If you are developing Xposed modules or plan to do so, you should definitely visit the library thread to learn more.
