What is GcmCore? It doesn't show up on ddg or google.

It's GmsCore, moxie typo'd. However you can also install via F-Droid by adding this repo https://fdroid.eutopia.cz

Moxie is probably going to hate you for it, but it works very well and doesn't require Google Services or anything else.

Using that websocket stuff instead of Play Services or GmsCore will make receiving Signal calls impossible.
