Thanks for the tips on other apps and the Android distro. Much appreciated. Far as Signal issue, I did find this:

Perhaps some more volunteers putting effort in could remedy the situation.

You're welcome. Unfortunately, LibreSignal was shut down due to: https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco....

I wouldn't pin too much hope on having a high quality PR written and integrated back to Signal soon. It doesn't look like a top priority for them. OWS also like the telemetry that Play gives them for diagnostics and have stated they won't be looking at FDroid unless someone can replace that.

Thanks for the link. That conversation was a bit disturbing as I read on. Least Moxie is allowing the code to be used.
