Hi guys,

I found out how to reboot your stock android without shutting it down.

First you will need ADW launcher ( from market )

use that as your home launcher

long press on empty space and pick CUSTOM SHORTCUT

in the pop up box select PICK YOUR ACTIVITY

select ADW ACTIVITIES ( let the list populate ) might take some time

select ACCOUNT AND SYNC SETTINGS

once that shows more options select
ACCOUNTS AND SYNC SETTINGS(COM.ANDROID.SETTINGS.ACCOUNTSSYNCSETTINGS)

when this gets added to your home screen, press it and it reboots your android

there enjoy

EDIT #1 : you can do this with a special launcher like adw etc

download the app " ANY CUT"
create a shortcut
select account and sync #2 ( its not organized like adw soo its the tree is already broken down for you )
once the shortcut is on homescreen click on it.. boom reboot :)

the reason i will say its not the same as a battery pull is because when you pull your battery it shuts down completly, the timer in the battery info resets.

where as if you do it my way, the battery timer ( up time ) in battery info keeps on going so i am assuming that it just restarts the android without shutting it down
