Widget for restart

[tadam]

Does anyone know of a widget for the Atrix that restarts the phone?

Could try out Quickboot, think they have a free and paid version.

I use 'Tasker' because of all the other functionality it gives me for other tasks.

Quick Reboot or Reboot Widget would be the ones to try but most of these reboot applications require that you have rooted your phone.

why not just use the power button to reboot? i never understood people use/need apps to reboot their devices.

Some phones don't allow you to simply reboot. You have to fully shut down, then physically turn it back on yourself. I know that's a minor thing/step to take, but one I'm sure a lot of people consider.

For some with the Atrix, perhaps wanting to save wear and tear on the power button which is also the fingerprint scanner. I've got a widget to reboot, and one to lock the screen.

That's exactly why I am looking for a reboot widget. You mentioned you have one....is your phone rooted and if not, what is the widget called?

I lied on the widget part I guess. I thought it was, but I am just simply using Quickboot, and yes I am rooted. Quick boot does require root, and it loads really fast, like widget and gives you the option to reboot, recovery, shutdown, or bootloader.

I may be wrong on this, but I believe most rebooting type programs require root in order to function, though that may not be correct.

So it's 2 taps to reboot, or 3 if you ask for confirmation.

Quick Boot gets my vote also, solid app.
