When we long press the power button of a smartphone or tablet, we usually bring up the shutdown menu with two options: “Shut down” and “Restart”. By and large, this is quite enough for an ordinary user, and he will not change anything. Another thing is for advanced users who know first-hand what Recovery Mode, Bootloader, and “soft reboot” are and would not mind expanding the meager menu with these functions. In this article we will tell you how to do this.

What can you add to the Android shutdown menu?

Experienced users of Android mobile devices have reflashed their gadgets at least once in their lives. At the same time, very often they use a special Android boot mode – Recovery Mode. It allows you not only to flash the device, but also to do a full system reset to factory settings, create a backup, clear the phone's memory, get ROOT and much more. To enter this mode, combinations of device button presses are usually used. Moreover, for each brand of smartphone or tablet they can be different. To avoid asking this question and not having to press the designated buttons every time, this option can be added to the shutdown menu.

We will look at several options for changing the system shutdown menu using a module for Xposed and the Material Power Menu and Quick Reboot applications. To work correctly, they all require .

Attention! You perform the actions described in this article at your own peril and risk. If you don't quite understand why you need it, it's better not to do anything. The editors of the Treshbox website are not responsible for the “bricking” of your devices.

Advanced Power Menu Module for Xposed

APM+ is very easy to use. When you first start, you will see system shutdown menu items. Here you can delete existing items, create new ones and change their location by dragging and dropping. For some options, the utility allows you to configure advanced parameters within each menu item. For example, by clicking on “Reboot”, the system will prompt you to select the type of reboot: normal, “soft”, Recovery Mode and Bootloader.

With APM+ you can add flashlight, Wi-Fi, sound profiles, mobile network modes, data transfer, screenshot, speed dial and screen recording to the menu. In addition to this, the appearance of the menu itself can also be slightly decorated by applying one of the design themes.

But the most useful feature of the APM+ module is its anti-theft functions. They allow you to disable some menu items or protect them with a password, add a text warning on the lock screen, and more. Also interesting is the ability to create a fake “Turn Off” item, which simulates turning off the device, but in fact performs other actions specified by the user in the settings.

Advanced Power Menu is best suited for devices running stock Android 4.0 and above. The module does not work on many branded shells; the developer only claims to support Xperia UI and TouchWiz. Now, apparently, work on the module has been suspended. The utility has not received an update for more than a year, and its latest version only partially supports Android 6.0. However, if you have a KitKat or Lollipop device, you can try installing APM+ on it.

As you know, Android KitKat contains a more advanced shutdown menu than Lollipop and Marshmallow. In addition to the “Turn off” and “Reboot” items, it also contains “Airplane mode” and sound profiles. The Material Power Menu app brings them back to the menu on devices running Android 5.0 and above. As a bonus, the utility contains options for entering bootloader and recovery mode, as well as a “soft” reboot, which restarts only the system interface. Another interesting feature of the program is Safe Mode. In this mode, similar to a computer, the Android system boots with third-party applications disabled. If, for example, you have picked up a Trojan or other malware, you can use Safe Mode to remove it from the system.

Material Power Menu works independently of the device's mechanical power button. To make it easier to call the shutdown menu, you can place the application shortcut on the desktop. Thus, the utility will be useful if your power button is broken. If you have ROOT and Xposed, Material Power Menu is integrated into the environment as a software module and completely replaces the Android system shutdown menu. True, turning on this menu is not very convenient - by repeatedly pressing the power button for a long time. But on some firmware this may not work.

The only significant drawback of the application is the lack of Russian language, as well as the fact that the program does not allow you to add new or change existing items in the shutdown menu.

Unlike previous solutions, this method using the Quick Reboot application does not involve any changes in the Android system shutdown menu. Quick Reboot is a fairly simple utility whose task is to replace the device's power button. That is, you can turn off your smartphone or tablet the old fashioned way (using the power button), or through this application. In addition to the basic parameters of the shutdown menu, the program allows you to reboot into recovery or bootloader mode without remembering key combinations. To make it easier to launch commands, Quick Reboot has widgets.

The application has a simple interface with support for the Russian language, design themes and more than 10 user options for the shutdown menu. In general, all menu items work properly, but you shouldn’t expect anything more from the utility.

In the end

The second is the moment when your power or volume button does not work (for a combination to enter bootloader or recovery mode) or you have problems pressing them. In this situation, applications such as Material Power Menu and Quick Reboot will come in handy.

Hard Reset (hard reset, hard reboot) - Reboot the device, which restores the system to factory settings and deletes all user information, including installed programs, contacts and SMS. Deleted information cannot be recovered after this procedure, so it is recommended to save all important data before resetting.

Important! Data from memory cards, SIM cards, and the internal memory of the phone is not deleted (data from the internal memory and memory card can be deleted during a soft reset by selecting the appropriate menu item).

Why do you need Hard Reset?

Hard Reset is used as a last resort when errors and malfunctions occur in the device, when it is impossible to eliminate the failure by other methods. The fact is that the more complex the device, the greater the likelihood of various problems arising in it during operation: repeated installation and reinstallation of programs, cluttering the device’s memory with various files, etc. and it is usually impossible to determine the exact cause of the malfunction. The device may begin to operate unstably, slow down, or even not turn on at all. Hard Reset will return the device to its original state, canceling any actions with it.

Soft reset

If the smartphone/tablet boots up, you can reset the settings through the device menu. To do this:

Go to the application menu...

…Settings…

...the “Accounts” tab (or the “Personal Data” item) and select “Backup and reset” (or “Restore and reset”)...

…Reset data (Reset settings)…

...Device reset...

…Erase/Delete everything

All. We are waiting for the device to reboot.

Hard reset

If the device does not turn on, then you can try to revive it by performing a hardware reset. The procedure is generally standard. There are mechanical buttons on the device body that are pressed in a certain combination, which allows you to enter the menu Android system recovery and reset the settings.
