6.) U can add more apps to exclude it from task manager..
there are two ways [ a = easy ] && [ b = difficult ]

a) u can remove the package name of existing list & add ur one to it...
like :-> replace "com.sec.launcher" with "com.lennox.launcher"... & so on with others.

b.) u can add new too
like:->
I.) Increase the size of array in first line [commented in code] from "0x2f" to "0x30" i.e from "47" to "48"
II.) Now add this code at the end before last line "sput-object v0, Lcom/sec/android/app/controlpanel/PackageInfo;->mHiddenPkgString:[Ljava/lang/String;" [ also commented in above code ]... --->

Code:

const/16 v1, 0x2f

const-string v2, "[B]ur application package name[/B]"

aput-object v2, v0, v1

&& so on .....using same method....
III.) now save it & recompile & test it ...

it will not close ur app that u ve added into excluded app list....
