  3. After approximately 15 seconds, a white dot appears below the XO.
  4. After another 15 seconds, the top half of the XO character begins to slowly rotate: over the course of about 20 dots will appear in the positions of numbers on a clock face.
  5. Once the circle is complete, the Sugar home screen appears.
    • The XO character in the center is now colored.
    • A Journal icon appears in the 'donut' below the XO character.
    • The battery and network icons appear below the donut.
