Booting into safe mode will remove your apps and widgets from your homescreen so you'll have to sort everything out the next time you boot up normally. To enter safe mode press menu repeatedly while your phone is booting. To exit safe mode you need to remove the battery, replace then reboot.

If you boot into safety mode, none of your downloaded apps will function so if youre using a 3rd party launcher, it wont be there, itl be the stock TW one. Everything will return to normal when you reboot into normal mode :thumbup:
With phone off, hold in the power button til the screen lights up then tap tap tap the menu button until it boots. Youll see "safe mode" at bottom left of the screen.
can i ask why youre using safe mode? :beer:
EDIT just realised i got bloody ninja'd

I've seen cases where people have said the only thing that changed was their wallpaper but others have said they've lost all their widgets so I'm not sure for definite.
