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:

com.google.android.as

List: Google :arrow_right: Google Removal: Recommended :arrow_right: Recommended

Current description

"Enables intelligent features across Android", like: Live Caption, Screen Attention, Improved Copy-Paste, App Predictions in the launcher, Notification Smart Actions, Smart Text Selection and Linkifying text in apps.

Proposed description

Provides on-device smart features such as Live Caption, Screen Attention, app predictions, Smart Text Selection, notification actions, and improved copy/paste.

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.
