[SAFE MODE] Found the way to enter safe mode in XMP

---

I accidentaly found a way of entering safe mode in XMP. Just press and hold volume down button while the device is booting(boot animation is being displayed).



I'm not a developer, so please don't ask me what the use of it is. That is for the developers to find out.

Thanks

I don't know. I thought some developers may look at it.. And may be even find it to be useful in some way

I think it was just like in windows. Some apps are not accessible during that time, i also encountered that sometime this week, you can play, call/text and browse but there is no way you can browse your storage.

It doesn't work for my Xpeia Mini..... but what does safe mode do on windows? :S

On windows most of the drivers aren't loaded in safe mode. It's normally used for troubleshooting.

even it worked in my mini tooo...

By accident even I entered the safe mode. All my 3rd party apps and widgets were disabled/not shown.

It is used to restore system incase of bootloop. Pointless because we have Recovery for that. You can't do much in safe mode unless you have added file manager to system folder, so that it can be used.
