Can you explain why this is needed. I've never done anything with google talk. And do you mean google chat, that's the only option i see for forwarding besides my phone.

Edit: I think i figured it out. You have to have google talk (or google chat under settings) enabled under your GV settings. If you have both your ATT phone checked and your google chat account checked, when you get an incoming call...both the stock dialer, and the groove ip start ringing at the same time.

If you don't have google chat/talk checked, then only your outgoing calls will be through groove ip. Prior to this setting, my outgoing calls were under my groove ip call log, and incoming calls were still though the Rom's dialer. After this enabling forwarding to my google talk/chat account and not my phone, all calls show up in my groove ip call log.

Bad thing about this setting is that if you don't keep your phone checked for forwarding in addition to the google chat checked, you won't receive calls if your not signed into groove ip.

That is true. Glad you figured it out.

I think there is a setting in groove IP for it to load automatically when the phone starts. Might help with that problem.

I also don't know the overall effect on battery life, it seems to be minimal, but my situation is atypical. I am usually in airplane mode with wifi enabled.

Another option that used to be popular was if your carrier had a fave five or friends and family list for free calls, adding your Google voice number to that list enabled you to receive calls without using plan minutes. I heard the carriers were savvy to this now, and I haven't done it personally.
It did require setting Google voice so that number came was the incoming caller ID, which sounds annoying to me.
