How To: Get Lollipop's "Priority Mode" Notifications for Calls on Your KitKat Device
Android 5.0 has a cool new feature called Priority Mode that allows you to silence your phone's ringer except for when certain people call you. It's something you'd enable right before bedtime, for instance, if you don't want to be disturbed unless it's someone important trying to reach you.But instead of waiting on your phone's manufacturer to push a system update your way, you can easily replicate this functionality with a simple app. Not only that, but it's free, easy to use, and doesn't require root—what more could you ask for? Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Step 1: Install Essential Calls LiteThe app that brings Priority Mode functionality to KitKat devices is called Essential Calls Lite from developer Sifakas. Search it by name on the Google Play Store to get it installed, or head to this link if you'd rather jump straight to the install page.
Step 2: Add Contacts to the WhitelistAs soon as you open the app, you'll be asked to add "Essential Contacts" to your whitelist. Calls from people in this list will ring through even when your phone is muted, so tap the + button to begin, then select "Contacts" from the menu. The free version of Essential Calls only allows for 2 whitelisted contacts, but an in-app purchase of $0.99 will unlock an unlimited whitelist in addition to the same functionality for text messages.Tap the contacts whose calls you'd like to be notified of when your phone is muted, then press the "Save" button at the top of the screen.
Step 3: Set Up a ScheduleIf you want Essential Calls to mute your ringer on a daily basis during certain hours, tap the clock icon to set up a schedule. You can add time frames for days of the week, and only calls from your essential contacts will get through during these hours.
Step 4: Activate the ServiceIf you chose not to set up a schedule, you can still activate the Essential Calls service manually. Whenever you don't feel like being disturbed, simply open the app and press the "Activate" button. Your phone's ringer will be automatically muted, and only calls from your essential contacts will cause your phone to ring. When you're ready to allow all calls to ring through, simply open the app again and press "Deactivate."Now that you have one less Lollipop feature that you have to wait on, what Android 5.0 feature are you hoping for next?

Uber/Lyft Race. There are some passengers who will call an Uber and a Lyft at the same time and take whichever car arrives first. I know because this has happened to me before as a driver. I pulled up at a location and saw passengers getting into another driver's car and shortly after, the ride was cancelled.
