RedPhone Removed from Google Play Store

[Cathal Garvey]

Nope, I haven't had to install Play for Textsecure at all, and I don't 
use or have a personal Google account. When it offers to set up data 
channel, just skip it, and TS reverts to encrypting over SMS instead.

Redphone also has a "no google" mode where it announces incoming calls 
to other RP users with a simultaneous SMS, but I've found it to be very 
buggy in my builds; calls connect but no sound transmitted, etc.

As far as "where to get it", here's a copy:

Cert is self-signed:
SHA1: 63:9B:E2:FA:D8:A9:66:DE:46:B7:E4:C2:18:47:73:04:C0:12:FE:1F
SHA256:

This is an older build by now. Frankly I'm holding out for a JS build of 
Textsecure and I'll probably try FFOS, then. FDroid and Textsecure are 
my "killer apps" tying me to Android. I just wish Moxie would let them 
play nice together.
