How can I add a contact WITHOUT choosing an account to sync with? First of all, know that this has NOTHING to do with stopping contacts from Gmail being added to my phone's contacts. I am trying to add a contact, but it keeps presenting me with a list of accounts to choose from to sync it with. I don't want to sync my contacts with any service. I just want to add them on my phone.

My phone is a Droid Maxx running Android 4.4.4. Do not assume that I am rooted.
If there's an option "local phone account" or something similar, then choose that instead of any Gmail account.

I can see this when I select "More Fields" in the "Add new contact" screen. Marshmallow, OnePlus One.
