Using UAD () has been amazing every single time except for this small discrepancy that I encountered.

While debloating my Motorola Edge 50 Fusion(No root, Hello Moto OS), I uninstalled a package called "com.motorola.coresettingsext" which was defined as the following on the GUI:

"Safe to remove(No Bootloop) but it's usefulness remains unknown"

As mentioned, there was no bootloop and everything seemed fine until I noticed that my refresh rate was locked at 90hz. This was strange because this device came with a 144hz refresh rate and moreso because in the sources that I had looked at while researching for a phone, 90hz was never an option to begin with.

I went over to Settings>Display to manually adjust the refresh rate but that option was nowhere to be seen. That's when I started restoring/enabling each package I had previously uninstalled only to notice that this "com.motorola.coresettingsext" not only removed the option from the Display settings, it also got rid of "Flicker Prevention" under the "Eye Protection" subsection and "Screen Record" from the "General" subsection.

I don't know how to reach the dev directly so I thought I'd make a post here to help out anyone else suffering from the same problem as me. I have flaired this post as "Application Support" just in case this catches their eye.

Hope it helps!

Edit: u/WhoRoger mentions that disabling this completely removes the sound and vibration section from the settings menu on G34 devices as well so watch out for that.
