I'm not experienced in Java/android development, but could you not just rename this?

You could also probably do a refactor, like the stackoverflow shows you, to rename all mentions of the word Signal-Android:

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

Did you do the refractor properly? And changed the package name at App level gradle? You have to do both. You can go through this article, I found this to be simple & clear... https://www.technetexperts.com/mobile/how-to-change-the-package-name-in-android-studio/
