Default [Q] How to re-launch an app after it is killed?

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

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.
