Android has forced vsync. Is there a tweak, patch or some way to disable it?

I want to do this mainly because I want to run the games at their maximum FPS capabilities that allow it, without having to resort to changing the refresh rate of my monitor.

I put Cod Mobile as an example, there is a magisk module that I use on my cell phone to unlock the 120 FPS option and it works perfectly since my screen is 120hz, but in Androidx86, despite unlocking that option with the same module, the game will stay at 60FPS due to the forced vsync that Android has, since my monitor is 60hz. I would like to get those 120 FPS with a 60hz monitor like in games on Windows.

I do not want to do this for visual fluency since it would be impossible to perceive at 60hz, I want this because in Cod Mobile and some other games, having 120 FPS or more gives you advantages in the engine and I think that in Androidx86 it is not necessary to force vsync .

First update kernel to latest 4.19 and newer, then you can try adding following line to your build.prop
debug.drm.mode.force=1280x720@120

What that parameter does is change the resolution and the refresh rate to 120hz. Just as I mentioned, since my monitor is 60hz this will not work. So I am looking for a way to turn off forced vsync

Keep it out of public threads, cheating related stuff are forbidden in this forum, we highly discourage the use of these. These are the cause for you requiring bypass to run the game now.
It is not my intention to cheat or incite someone to do that. I just wanted to answer the question of how do I run the game. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

get a 120hz or higher refresh rate monitor & enjoy 120fps like your mobile,
also that magisk module only change your device model to unlock 120hz option it's similar to our pubg 90 fps unlocker gxp file.

Just as I mentioned in the thread, what I want is to remove the forced vsync so that it is not necessary to increase the refresh rate to get higher FPS
