In Android, starting from 6.0, there is a new feature called safe-mode
that can be triggered by keeping then volume up and volume down buttons
pressed during boot.

This safe mode makes the device not start any of the applications that
are not part of the system. This enables to boot the device and remove
the applications that would otherwise prevent it to boot.

So far I've identified only the OpenCamera application that can prevent
the device from booting.
