On my Intex aqua fish running 2.0.5.6 it force me to "Update google play services" with "Signal won't run unless you update Google Play service." If I remove the google play store application and a "com" application.
I managed to grab its log at https://gist.github.com/b3c8d0bbc85ae5b0fea1a048b948431c
So the problem is that Intex is shipping Google Play Services in an outdated version on the Aqua Fish. Signal only distinguishes between play services available then use it or not available then don't use it and use websockets. In your case it needs a third case which is play services available but too old. Skip it and use websockets instead.
I think this is a feature request for upstream Signal.
After I delete these files below and restart aliendalvik, the problem seems resolved.

They seem remains of former updates, for they do not belong to any package.
These are the Play Services Intex ships on the Aqua Fish preinstalled.
Is there any other Intex preinstallation not in the form of package contents, like these?
This I don't know. I don't own an Intex device.
I think this can be closed now
Can't reproduce. It will show a warning that it might not work as good as with Play Services installed but that's all. I can register and use the application without Play Services.
