I am trying to uninstall this from my iPhone 2g because the battery life is just miserable. I removed the package using Cydia. However, the MMS settings still appear under Messages and Network (for the APN info). How do I actually remove MMS from my phone?
Thanks!

Isn't there a delete or remove button on the APN settings ?
Thats what I did. The AT&T settings came back after a restart.

This package is not running down your battery. It's not running in the background, it simply enabled some settings.
There's absolutely no reason to even uninstall it.

I reset all my network settings, but the fields for MMS settings still appear.
As for the second reply, there are several threads around about the MMS hack rapidly depleting battery life. I'm trying to uninstall some of my Cydia packages to see if it makes any difference. My friends on AT&T are getting about 7-8 hours of usage (as measured in settings), while I'm getting a little over three hours on T-Mobile. I recently uninstalled SBSettings, Winterboard, and ActivateMMS2g. That's all helped a little, but I think I may just need to restore (or I have a bad battery).

I've read that it does as well. However, there has been no quantitative evidence that it does. For me, battery life has been the same with it enabled. The thing that made a dent in battery life for me was turning on Push notifications.

I turned push off as well, but location services are still on. What sort of usage time are you getting off a full charge?
