GmsCore: Messages won't run unless you update Google Play Services
Hello
I’m running an Mi A1 Stock Oreo. I used the Terminal Debloater and removed as much of Google as I understand…
When I click on Messages I get a popup saying;
Update Google Play Services
Messages won’t run unless you update Google Play Services
Apps Installed
Xposed - version 90-beta 3
FakeGapps - 2.0
Magisk 16.0
Services Core - com.google.android.gms-9258259.apk
Services Framework Proxy - com.google.android.gsf-8.apk
Store (FakeStore release) - com.android.vending-16.apk
DroidGuard Helper - org.microg.gms.droidguard-4.apk
I’m attaching two screen shots showing the microg settings.
Thanks

same with gdrive
I guess that’s Google’s Messages, not AOSP. You can kick it off and get something more FOSS, e.g. QKSMS (Messaging app) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.moez.QKSMS
Maybe we have an issue with terminology. For me
dataanddataplan mean you can use internet with your phone. Whereas in my country, you can have unlimited SMS but not a single MB of data.That’s because those messages are not SMS. Try sending a real SMS to someone that does not have Signal (or just turn data off), you will see that the message won’t be encrypted.
Signal is a good app, but requires data. If you want to encrypt your SMS, you should use Silence.
I don’t know of any app allowing to encrypt phone calls while using the standard phone feature.
But if you’re looking for alternatives, there are Signal, Wire, Ring, Riot…
