Proposal: Improve uad_lists.json package descriptions with concise researched summaries
Your phone model: Samsung Galaxy A13
Hi,
I reviewed the existing Google and Samsung/OEM entries in resources/assets/uad_lists.json and prepared concise, package-specific descriptions for 608 entries.
My approach is deliberately conservative:
- I keep the existing description text, links, warnings, and historical notes.
- I add one short plain-language sentence at the beginning of the description field, explaining what the package does.
- I only match entries by exact package ID.
Documentation Change
Here are two examples, one from the Google and one from the Samsung list:

I propose either this format with the concise sentence at the beginning, followed by the current description, or in a new json field "description-short":
"list": "Oem",
"description-short": "One sentence",
"description-long": "Video & TV SideView (replaced by https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.tvsideview.phone)\nLets you use your smartphone or tablet as a TV remote control for the home. \n",
"dependencies": [],
"neededBy": [],
"labels": [],
"removal": "Recommended"If you agree, I will create a pull request with the respective json file.
