Remember that there's microG - free Play Services reimplementation: https://microg.org/

Yep, and LineageOS + microG [1]: "Access all the Google services without proprietary closed software"

I tried the lineage version: I can't even register for signal (a messaging app) with microg enabled. The only workaround is to disable microg, register signal, then enable microg.

Check if you have enabled GCM. With microG, anything that requires calling home is opt-in.

If that's not it, report it. Every app I use works with microG, and any minor issues I had earlier were being resolved pretty quickly.

I switched back to Lineage with open gapps but later I saw this https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/issues/6895...
