I don't use google-anything on my android phone; I use F-Droid and
side-load everything else. I'm sorry if I've missed it, but which version
of android OS are you running? Surely one of us can upload the
corresponding GSF .apk for you?

You are correct. I will use older TextSecure on my activated phone. Works
perfectly.
On my unactivated "PDA,"I will continue to email my contacts
cellular text address unless I convince my contacts to use peerio or
chatsecure or subrosa.
