Use Voice actions without Google contacts? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to be able to use voice actions to call contacts, send text messages etc., but I don't use Google contacts but another way to sync my contacts to the phone.
Is the any way I can still get these contacts to be recognized by voice actions or is the another work around to get this functionality?

[Q] Contacts problem

Hello all,
I am using the ROM Speed Blur and I have a question about Contacts.
I installed GO Contacts EX on my phone and I would like to record all my contacts under GMAIL.
However this is not by default, each time I want to create a new contact it asks me if I want to record it under my GMAIL account or on the phone.
The biggest problem is when someone send me a contact via SMS or Whatsapp, if I record it, it is saved automatically under my phone without even asking.
Anyone as an idea on how to record contacts on GMAIL by default ?
Thanks a lot

[D] Google Voice Recieving and/or Forwarding SMS from Multiple GV Accounts

I am not sure how this happened but it is really great and I would love to recreate it in the future.
I have an Galaxy Tab 7.7 Running the stock ROM from Hong Kong.
I installed Google Voice from the market and have it syncing with my work number. It is able to send and receive texts from my work number. However somehow it has been able to receive texts from my personal GV account as well. Replying to these texts will reply from my work number.
Edit:
Seems as though an app called Talkatone is the culprit. I have my personal GV account tied to this app. Once I select the "Check SMS on this account" option it will somehow forward messages to my Work GV account even when Talkatone is off. It only forwards messages as they happen it does not seem to cache or sync them so if my phone is off and I get a personal SMS it will not show when I turn it back on.
I wonder if there is a more elegant way of doing this? I would love to permanently be able to forward all my personal SMS messages to my work number if this is possible.

[Q] Make Google now send texts from Hangouts

Any way to make hangouts the default app to send SMS for google now? It seems it will only use the default messaging app even though I have hangouts selected as my SMS app.
I have been a google voice user since the grand central days. We used to be able to send an text from google now and it would use google voice to send the text. Seems now that we can not send a text with our google voice number via google now. Kind of makes my moto360 a bit sad.
I have reset my default apps, I don't get a popup to use hangouts instead of messaging. Any help would be appreciated. All I want to do is use my google voice number to send texts from google now. I'm on a MotoX, but my Nexus 5 does the same thing.

[Q] How do I delete VoiceMails in HangOuts?

I have set up HangOuts to merge both my SMS and GoogleVoice. If I receive a voice mail from a contact, it gets threaded into my SMS conversation with that person. How do I delete the voice mail and not the entire conversation thread?
Thanks

This is relatively easy. It cannot be done through the hangouts app. You must do it on the google voice website OR google voice app. Delete it in google voice and it disappears in hangouts. Also, if you delete the hangout, ALL voicemail and SMS will be gone (with no trash can to recover them from). So, use GV to delete voicemails and use gmail "chats" to selectively delete SMS.
