How to verify that the Native Mode is working as expected?

[BellaCoola]

Hello, I tried to follow the steps in this Wiki page on a Pixel device. I am wondering, how can I verify that the Native Mode is working as expected? Is there some indicator inside of the application?

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Also, the page says that "...It allows you to benefit from low battery consumption, without needing to root your device (on Android 13) or use Shizuku (on Android 12)..." Does this mean that it is necessary to use Shizuku when using Android 13 even if the android.permission.READ_LOGS permission is granted? (I.e. the Shizuku is not necessary only when using Android 12.)

If you enable the option and it's working, then it's functioning as expected. You can also try using it while the screen is off without the display off gate enabled, if it doesn't react then it's definitely working.

Shizuku is not required, that is referring to the Low Power Mode requirements.

Thank you very much for your reply. However how does one enable the Native Mode option? I don't see such toggle anywhere in the UI. Does that mean that the phone does not support this option? (Otherwise it would be shown somewhere?)

[KieronQuinn]

That is correct, it would be shown on the settings page if it was supported. What device is this?

I tried it on Pixel 6a with a custom Android ROM.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for your replies. The fact that it is only shown in the settings if it is supported was not clear to me after reading the aforementioned Wiki page.

That's your problem, many custom ROMs do not have the required files for it to work.

Ok. Thank you very much :)
