Oh. My. God. Thank you. Around about the S5/S7 era I stoppped flashing my phone every 5 minutes, but now with my S7 drinking battery fluid every minute of the day I've been wondering where CM had gone.

It's not quite Cyanogenmod though, don't get your hopes up too high. It doesn't have the most critical stuff I liked, like blacklisting non-contacts.

That seems like a dialer feature, not an OS one.

I'm not sure how that affects my point? Which was that you'll be missing the feature when you use LOS. (Not to mention I don't know how true it is either... the blacklist page was very much in my OS settings.)

If it's a dialer feature then you can just install any dialer which provides it.

I believe that would be possible even if it were not a dialer feature in CM? Also, I did look around for dialers, but a lot of them seem to do "cloud" stuff of some sort, which I definitely don't want. I ended up finding a non-dialer program to do this, but even that was a pain, since most of them that I tried are either missing functionality or buggy in one way or another.
