Hello,
I updated some apps last night including Greenify, and my HD+ now tries
to boot, but the Live Boot app shows it repeating indefinitely. After a few tries
it will complete a recompile and optimize apps, but still will not finish the boot.
Can I boot into Lollipop safe mode to confirm that the problem is with an app?
How do I do this? I think I read that the HD+ buttons can be finicky in different
CM releases!
Also, I can get into TWRP. Can I delete Greenify or other apps or debug
other apps from TWRP?

Thanks
---------------------------------
Here's a more detailed description of my HD+'s behavior.

On initial boot, Live Boot seems to show three consecutive passes
through the boot process. I can see a whole bunch of debug lines
very briefly. After this, it first completes the app optimization process
in about 20 minutes. Next, it briefly displays "Starting apps", but then
displays the boot animation. This screen holds for about 20 minutes.
It then starts another app optimization pass. These two consecutive
behaviors repeat endlessly.
About every third pass through this repeating process, I will see a lock screen
after the "starting apps" notification. I can swipe an enter my PIN. Next,
I see the home screen background, but the device is unresponsive to
touch. After 5-10 seconds the boot animation returns and so does the
repeating app optimization followed by the boot animation.

Is this a true "boot loop?"
