Sorry, but I'm using Lineage OS without Gapps and everything goes good, any notifications works in Element .... ๐ค
You are forgiven. Element constantly runs a worker to check for new messages on the FOSS version (depending on your configuration), unlike PUSH which just sits idle and listen for new messages.
Shouldn't this use more battery? When i switched to Lineage my battery lasted longer ๐
Some say "yes, by a lot". In my experience a 10 seconds fetch rate on apps costs only a few percentages of battery per charge if the fetch is reasonably sane. Checking 75 podcast feeds with thousands of episodes every 10 minutes isn't sane.
I have tested and got better battery on Lineage/Clean ROMs as compared with stock as well. I put it down to bloat and spyware constantly running in the background with elevated priviledge. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
F-Droid ver. with Optimization,
Yes, the optimization is setting up how often the app and phone should wake up and check with your matrix server if there's any new messages.
