Hello :), i have Moto X 2013 (xt 1058), but i am not sure if the Marshmallow have the option of Call the Phone with screen OFF. I have the Experience Rom and i cant use Google Now outside the Google Now app =/

Anyone know if there is any rom with it ? Or is only 5.1.1 ?

Moto Voice tends to be the only one that works all the time that way (stock 5.1), but you can actually use Google Voice in other ways. You have to enable the Use OK Google on other screens option. If you have the phone charging, you can also use it when the screen is off. It's not as reliable as Moto Voice was (I think just because SW vs FW, ie Moto Voice was also plugged into the phone on a deeper level). Some launchers (like Nova) will allow you to use it on the launcher as well, but I think you would only really need that one option (check for it in the Google App settings).

But yeah, haven't found a general way for screen off Voice Commands yet :/
