All calls to voicemail setting missing in Marshmallow?

Hi,
I had this option on my phone prior to upgrade to Marshallow:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3067...alls-from-specific-contacts-to-voicemail.html
Is there a trick to getting it back?

It's there in all my Google Contacts choices. Choose the 3 dot menu, just like before.

You are using Google contacts, right? Not that it should make a difference, but what version Google Contacts apk are you running?
When you go into your app drawer look for "Contacts". NOT a shortcut on your desktop just named Contacts, and NOT Verizon or Motorola proprietary address book junk.
If you are not sure, go to Google Play and look for Google Contacts.

That link you sent says it's not compatible with my XT 1254

Google contacts is not compatible with your phone? Oh, come on.
So what crippled version is Verizon/Motorola foisting on you?
1.6.17 is the Google Contacts from December 2016 which people with other Android phones get to use.

Whatever Verizon ships with. Contacts 6.0.1

Go to Settings/Apps. Scroll down, see what Contacts says. 1.6.17 is the Google Contacts from December 2016.
See the version and see if it can be uninstalled/disabled? Maybe then regular Google Contacts from the Play Store can be installed?
Just another reason I will always root and totally own my phone, not the carrier, not the manufacturer.
If Verizon won't let you have REAL Google Contacts, there's always 3rd party Contacts apps you can check out.

Allow me to clear things up:
The user is using the stock contacts app. Like most stock apps, it cannot be uninstalled. It can, however, be disabled by going into the Apps menu under Settings.
Google contacts is blocked by Verizon/Moto/Lenovo/whoever on the Play Store, but it is easily downloaded and can be installed from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-contacts-1-6-17-android-apk-download/. Download and install this, and use it instead of the stock app, and you will find the option that you seek.

Thank you! I was just about to suggest disabling, as not rooted he can't uninstall. I just edited my former reply to include that, and I saw your response.
Thanks very much for giving him the alternate download location for the APK Verizon won't let him have. Of course it's compatible. LIARS.

Thanks all, I appreciate the help here.

First Ever Microsoft Phone for Nexus 5 [Every Month Update]
This is my new project dedicated to all Nexus 5 users!
Switch your Google Phone to Microsoft Phone now!
We all know that the mobile operating systems from the Microsoft are not perfect.
If you are not satisfied with Windows Mobile try my unofficial Android based Microsoft Phone – it is available only for Nexus 5!​
What does UBR stand for?
The letters UBR stand for Update By Recovery - a very non conventional way of flashing.
This backup does not contain the EFS partition which holds your personal IMEI number,
that's why you can use it on any Nexus 5 phone!​
Why you should install this ROM?
+ Really easy flash by swiping only one button in TWRP!

+ It works instantly after reboot

– It has a 4 times larger installation file than standard flashable ROM
* If you need you can install Google Services/Apps​

After installation you can remove all unwanted apps including Magisk (Unroot).​
What works:
Almost everything.
What doesn't work:
Trusted face (from Smart Lock)
Fast (Quick) Charging
WakeBlock (wait for the update)
Things to improve:
Maybe custom NavBar with Microsoft icon?
Requirements:
All you need is Google Nexus 5 16/32GB smartphone with TWRP 3.2.1-1 (Team Win Recovery Project) installed.

Question Blocking ads

Hello.. usually i use block this vpn for blocking ads on Chrome and system, but it won't work on ultra.. I'm on latest EU rom.. any solution?

I use this.

Or use Brave browser which blocks many but has its own VPN too.

I use the Samsung Internet browser (stable or beta) which has many adblock plugins, specific and officially available like AdGuard (the best), AdBlock, ABP, etc.

Brave, etc doesn't globally block ads from installed apps, my fix does...

Not fully but when I use the DNS approach, sometimes the phone will not connect to the data server. It took me a while to work out the resolution, disable DNS again. So as I was fed up having to do this now and again and losing data connection randomly, I just chose Brave as an alternative but whatever floats your boat. I am only trying to give the guy an alternative.

It will block some black listed sites which is a good thing. Very rarely do I need to disable it*. Been using it for over 6 months now. It gives me very little trouble... occasional slow downs. It enhances security.
Your carrier may be part of the problem, I'm on AT&T.
Presumably the full paid version works better.
*it's easy to toggle off if needed.

Is there a way to install vanced without manager? I have vanced on all mine devices, but I can't install it on ultra.. tried newpipe, and couple more alternatives but it's not possible to login with g account, and that's a deal breaker..

If I remember well, to be able to install the vanced manager app one should disable fist the MIUI optimization in the developer's settings.
Anyway Youtube vanced has reached its end-of-life, due to Google threats.

I I have root and unblocked bootloader and have no issues with the installation through vanced manager. I just enable the option to install app from unknown sources for manager and installation goes smoothly

Question Google play store on chinese rom

How can I install the play store on the Chinese rom? I've tried downloading it from APK mirror and it says "Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later." I've tried clearing the cache and no help.
Solved! "Google basic services" has to be enabled. It's found in the drop down menu within apps management in settings.

Just install it from the ZUI Store app on the tablet. You might need to use a phone camera to help translate..

I just flashed the stock chinese rom from the global rom. I actually figured it out. There's a setting in the app management tab in the settings where you have to enable google services. I had installed play services, google play store, chrome, etc... Factory reset a few times too. But I was poking around the app management and was looking at system apps to see if something was disabled that I needed and saw "google basic services" as an option and I was able to turn that on, and everything works now. So I hope if anyone else has that issue they come across this thread.

Toggling this on and off seemed to fix an issue for me where I couldn't push the "Sign In" button to log into Google Services on the first Play Store run.

It was late at night, I meant to say Amazon Prime. I assume it works but I thought I read on some Chinese roms that Netflix works but Prime Video doesn't. Hopefully I'm wrong, it's annoying if a device has Widevine L1 but some apps still don't work.

Question Android auto problem? Does it work wireless mode?

As you know, android auto does not work on the x90 pro plus wired (error code is -22), Is there a friend who also experiences wireless android auto?
If it works, am I thinking of buying a wireless interface device for my car?
thank you

Nope, without root is doesn't work on any OS made for Chinese market like rotten oranges.

Actually I think you can get android Auto to run. It's a bit complicated but it works.
1. Install shizuku and start shizuku server
2. Install lspatch
3. Install saax (lsposed)
4. Install saax as app in lspatch
5. Install Android Auto
6. Don't connect any device with USB debugging as it will instantly kill shizuku. If lucky Shizuku runs a couple of days before vivo kills it.
7.. Install package manager (shizuku), and give the missing rights to android auto. This will be needed to confirm the key from the car. Same way kinda as pairing shizuku with floating window.
8. Even though android auto should work now, you cannot use voice commands as continued conversation isn't working and hey google isn't working.

Actually lspatch is quite interesting. Can use it to install lucky p***. And then use lucky p*** to get rid of some of the vivo crap in the system by recompiling apks with fake signature (guess that only works on your phone, sharing the apks will not be possible).
Basically you can use it to remove rights from apks. Doesn't work with all system apps and needs some tinkering but definitely helps to remove some crap you cannot debloat. Makes it possible to get some google stuff working that shouldn't work on origin OS.
Can also use it to remove services from non system apps to save battery and unwanted communication...
Some other working lspatch modules are let me downgrade, corepatch, and disable flag secure.
