Ok well basically I'm having a problem on my Galaxy S II in which when I exit all apps using the task manager, it kills my lockscreen app, WidgetLocker.
Is there a way that I can have WidgetLocker relaunch after it is killed? Or should I just not bother killing all the apps?
Thanks,
Alex

I have the same phone... Yu just have to leave widget locker running at all times if Yur using a different task killer other then the stock one that comes with the Phone then yu can just select to ignore it when yu kill all the other apps but the default doesn't have that option

There is a option for third party apps putting it into suspend mode but no option for Yur task manager not to kill it... The only way to do that is to download something like advanced task killer and just put it on the ignore list....

Ok, thanks for the replies guys, but I don't really want ATK or anything like that, the phone never lags anyway so I'll just close individual programs that I don't want open

Just uninstall WidgetLocker application and try new locker application.

No? Why on earth would I do that? WidgetLocker is a great lockscreen application and either way, ANY third party locker software will be killed by the default 'exit all' widget.

I ment to delete the app next to it..and I clicked the wrong app...
And for the life of me i can't remember its name!
All it did was when you clicked it, it gave you a list..top I remember was end all task,a few down it had a favorite apps...
I believe it started with an A but I can't remember.

Hard to say. Worse case scenario flash back to stock and then reroot. Download rom manager and flash recovery and then you can backup your current rom and everything on it that way if you make a mistake moving forward you can always revert back instead of starting over. I learned that lesson the same way you did.
What did the app do? Do you remember that at least?
Sounds like a task manager.
maybe advanced task killer
It was similar to a task manager but that was not its main focus ..bah oh well I guess... If i remember the name I'll let you all know, its an amazing app.

when you opened the app.. a box/rectangle that was almost the same size as the screen would pop up but you could still see the background of either the app drawer or what ever screen you had the app on, in the box it would be a list of actions that the app could do, such as end all tasks... there was one that said favorite apps that you could put all your fav apps in instead of having your desktop flooded with apps. those are the only ones i remember, they are the only ones i ever used.
i found it just a few days ago... i saw a review or somthing that made mention of the app and i was all ehh ill check it out and i loved it! ugh its driving me insane now that i cant remember it..
Was it jkAppSwitch by any chance?
Maybe android mate...

Smart Bar. Also allows for you to kill mobile data, amongst many others, with a quick settings toggle. I am positive that that's your app.

Are you using an auto task killer?
And which clock widget are you referring to?
Yes, he is definitely using task killer, i had the same problem too, to fix it, open ur task killer, long click in the clock widget and put it in ignore list, that shall fix the problem

Is there any way to make an app like the galaxy devices have? Yes I know most of them (except sgs2 lol) have low ram, even the galaxy s ... but some of them take battery...
Force close an app without the need to go to app info, running services, cached processes...
Also, there is no way to see the foreground apps without having a 3rd party app (I use appswipe! For that)... foreground apps may cause wakelocks too
Any talented dev to make a good thing for us? Thank you in advance, if you do it...

1. Install 3rd party app(kill all apps feature)
2. Reboot your phone after you friend or someone used it
3. I pretty sure a dev like Andy wont implement it as you know task managers are...not really needed.
4. Make it a habit to kill long press back button...
5. Why not don't use the apps that have wakelock...I have a tight app control here and no wakelocks eventhough all my apps(if they are in memory) are running

1. Those are task killers
2. If I let a friend play, it will only give it back to me when in a rush, so can't reboot, and all the apps stay on background
3. We need something like ICS has, but on GB, to see what apps are running (special softkey in galaxy nexus, I think long-press home on ours, ICS users should say how...)
4. Done I sometimes play on other phones, with softkeys that don't need to be pressed (You know how) and I get scared when I play games and I accidentally press back
5. No more wakelocks except google services and android system

Does the ICS stock task manager( or whatever it is called) actually kill apps when you swipe them? I ask this question because when i swipe the apps it doesn't show that the app is killed in my task killer and that it is still running. Or is it because the rom is still in Beta?
Thanks.
It doesn't kill the app . It just removes it from the Recent Apps list

If you need a task manager and switcher like Windows OS i recommend you "Perfect Task Switcher".
It is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5yYWJvbGQuYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrc3dpdGNoZXIiXQ..
It has got ICS 4.0 Stock Task manager ui design. And it's not recently app list. It's a real task switcher and killer.
Trust me, i searched for a task killer and switcher for a long time and now it is my favourite app.
If you need help for use it write me, i will help you...
Note: I don't know it supports ICS, I am using it on gingerbread now. Try and see...
thanks man,will try
Android doesnt need a task manager. It can manage apps by itself.
