New Features:
- Windows Mobile 5 / 6.x support
- Pre-boot startup: only known Windows Mobile system applications are started before SafeMode
- Replaced "Start" menu with custom SafeMode utilities menu
- SafeDirect: enter / exit SafeMode directly, without an additional soft reset
- Smaller memory footprint (90 KB)
SafeMode 3 was developed almost from zero, based on user requirements and feedback.
SafeMode 3 now features an advanced PDA crash protection system:
- it's started very early (4th application - the first 3 are required Window Mobile applications) in the startup process, allowing a better control over what and when it's allowed to run.
- while entering SafeMode, it stops all known 3rd party application types, such as:
-
INIT applications - these are low level applications, such as older versions of "Mad Programmer’'s ForceHiRes" or "XCPUScalar"
-
Services - these are system applications; they are not visible with the task manager, and generally run in the background
-
Startup applications - startup links, placed in "Windows\Startup"
-
Today plugins - SafeMode 3 disables all Today plugins, replacing it with it's own interface, as a reminder you're running in SafeMode
-
Input methods - all non-standard Input methods (custom keyboards etc) are disabled
-
Pocket Internet Explorer plugins (such as MultiIE)
-
Other extensions, found in system registry
