Wonder who gets to determine what COMING SOON! means.
Already got Jelly Bean on my S3 and i'm loving it.
The AOKP features are of more value to me than the Touchwiz features.
Only thing i'm missing is WiFi calling.
AOKP FTW
But I guess it will be useful for people who want to remain stock.

I would go with AOKP too, loved it on my galaxy nexus but the bugs start appearing after a 2 weeks and don't like to deal with that, which one are you running and how is your battery life?

What do minutes and wifi calling being mentioned together? Wifi calling still uses regular minutes. I like wifi calling because if im working in certain building sometimes I get no signal, so i use wifi calling. Its just cell booster and it helps out on battery.
Anywho, this is awesome to actually see some vocal news from a company about an update, happy with Samsung

My wifi minutes are unlimited. The benefit is that my house gets like .5 bars and voice calls can't be answered made here. It's also good because wifi calling shuts off the cell antenna.

Wifi calling does not use regular minutes if you have the feature added to your plan. it only counts regular minutes if you don't have the feature added.

Build 4.
No bugs here so far.
Only thing is the cpu frequency setting doesn't stick after reboot even though I select it.
I can live with that for all the other tweaks this ROM offers.

It depends on your calling plan. If you have at least a "value" plan, and I'm guessing a classic one as well, then minutes don't come out of your bucket. If you have an older grandfathered plan it comes out of your bucket.
The feature is free for any plan, even for prepaid ones.
Interesting that it hasn't been brought up before.

It works over 3G.
This trick has been around for a while. I have been using it since the G2x days and haven't abandoned it yet. It works on my GS2 and it has been working on my Galaxy Nexus as well. Create a new APN with the exact same settings as I post here. I am still working to find out what (if anything) needs to be changed on the MMS end but thought I'd go ahead and share this. Enjoy!
*Disclaimer* This will not work for everyone! You could possibly still get throttled. In my personal experience, it stops my data counter altogether. For other people, they just go beyond the throttle threshold. Find out where you stand. **HINT** I'd recommend only changing to this once you're nearing the end of your cycle and before you are throttled.
Has anyone given this a try yet? I'd like to know how you guys are fairing on speed tests? I have been seeing better speeds with this apn at my apartment which is kinda like a big bunker. Lol.
It works on my gs2

Lol, I don't want to broadcast faster speeds on the new apn but as far as my apartment goes - they are faster. (Then again, I don't really ever use my cellular data at home anyway.) I just like to put a much larger emphasis on avoiding being throttled!
This is bull****.
Last night I burned through my 5GBs. Now the internet feels slower than a 56K modem.

You do it before being throttled. Not after. Don't call it bull**** because you didn't follow directions. It's funny how I and other people have plenty of success with this but you, the person who fails to follow directions, comes in here to act like it doesn't work. One of the most important things to do when doing most anything on xda is read and follow directions.

Well, some people fly under the radar. Some people get throttled eventually. Lastly, some people get throttled like normal. Trying it out isn't for the feint of heart because you never know which one you'll be until you try.
This is why I recommend trying it near the end of your cycle so you don't have much to lose. Sometimes sim swapping helps too.

It's great to hear it's helped you out thus far. Were you purposely trying to get that high at first? Lol. I know the whole trial and error thing sucks but sometimes it pays off. Depending on how far you're in, you might be completely clear and can go data crazy.

Well I was at about 4.9gb of 5gb at 2 weeks into my billing period (had lots of tethering). So I just switched the APN and started using data again rather than hunting for WiFi all the time. Still working just fine.

Has anyone had any success using Groove IP in conjunction with Google Voice to substitute the lack of wifi calling availability with CM9 or any other AOSP ROMs and if so, how was the quality of the calls?
Looking for ideas, any suggestions are appreciated.
Not using GrooveIP but I used the built-in SIP to connect to my Callcentric VOIP account and it works perfectly.
I did that when I had my nexus s.. it will work but grooveip always has a call delay.. it gets quite annoying.

Hmm It's primarily because when I go to the coast to visit my Mom, her hurricane proof house with nearly bullet-proof windows and plaster/block walls seem to give me little or no signal, in the past I've just used the wifi-calling on T-Mobile based ROMs. I'm loving CM9 and gave GrooveIP a try today with Gvoice and it seemed to work great. It's only for a few hours a day each week but it always seems to be right when I have a critically important call come through and it drops, over and over without the wifi calling
Thanks for the suggestions I'll stick with this and see how reliable it is..

That and wifi just stops working, but that's another story.

lol. its a multitasking solution that overlays one app (transparently) on top of another. check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM4dFVzpRFk
I know it's part of LG's UI (kind of like the multitasking in HTC's sense), but didn't know how difficult it would be to port it over to AOSP... it's pretty cool - you can change the level of transparency and do stuff like text while watching movies, etc.
Oh yeah I remember watching that video now. My guess is it's reliant on some sort of LG framework but that hasn't stopped people before. Unfortunately it's well out of my knowledge range

T-Mobile's WiFi calling is integrated into their touchwiz ui, which is why it could never be ported to any aosp-based ROMs. Pretty sure it's closed source, so it would have to be reverse engineered or rewritten from scratch. Don't know how difficult that would be. I know that for people without unlimited minute plans on T-Mobile, minutes for calls are deducted even if you're using WiFi calling, and if it was open source this could be bypassed (i think that's why they integrated it into touchwiz).
Anyway, i digress. I'm not doubting that you used WiFi calling on your mytouch as it's a T-Mobile device and was probably running a touchwiz ROM.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Touchwiz is a Samsung thing, not T-Mobile.
The MyTouch is an HTC phone. Again, Touchwiz is a Samsung thing. The HTC One S has WiFi calling as well. Guess what it's running..? Not Touchwiz.
And an FYI, WiFi calling was ported to AOSP roms for the G2 which, again, is NOT a Touchwiz device.
