How to: Change "FaceTime" to "SexyTime"

I'm making a Winterboard theme that does this automatically. I also have a theme that removes the dark gradient applied to wallpapers by iOS4.
Any idea how to get these onto one of the repos so people can download them? For free, obviously.

Have you figured out how to change the button in the Address Book entry? It still says "FaceTime" ...

You must have missed an entry somewhere in
/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/English.lproj/vc~AB.strings
That did the trick, thx. I hadn't changed the second FT instance in that file.
Congrats on SexyTime!
This will be a very welcome customization! I have a few wallpapers that look great in Photos but look too dim as wallpaper.
As to how, I have no experience but I did find this page (unfortunatly down for maintenance):
http://www.modmyi.com/mmi/devportal
From the modmyi homepage hover over "Cydia Apps" and to the left under quick links there's "Submit a Package to Cydia" which is the same as the link above.

whats your aim? im having trouble getting the winterboard theme to work, maybe you can halp. the documentation sucks
Must be doing something wrong... that one has the most of all three.
Contact the modmyi repo owners. It would be great if someone (or yourself) could make a program that lets you input a word and it changes all instances of 'FaceTime' automatically using a script. For myself and others who don't use winterboard.
Must not be supported by Winterboard yet. In the mean time, to get rid of the wallpaper gradient, just replace all of the PNGs in:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SpringboardUI.framework/
with completely transparent PNGs of the same size.
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SpringboardUI.framework/
with completely transparent PNGs of the same size.
HOW TO:
Change every instance of "FaceTime" to "SexyTime" in these files:
/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/English.lproj/vc~AB.strings
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Conference.framework/English.lproj/vc~Conference.strings
/private/var/stash/Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj/vc~Restrictions.strings
Have a sexy time! Thanks for nothing, I figured it out myself!
OLD:
I've scoured the iOS 4 filesystem on my iPhone 4 in search of a clue. I've changed all of my localization .string files to say SexyTime instead of FaceTime. I've tried hexediting MobilePhone and Springboard, but nothing I try will change the word "FaceTime" on anything but the Settings->Restrictions section and the button in Contact video.
I don't know much about how applications work, but upon inspection, MobilePhone and Springboard seem to put "VIDEO_LABEL" in place of where the word FaceTime goes, yet the localization files have to strings for VIDEO_LABEL.
FaceTime is also referred to as "Video Calling" and "vc" a few times, but nothing I try works. Anyone have any better ideas about how to do this? I'm at the end of my wit and only half way to full SexyTime.
The problem areas are:
1. When someone calls you from FaceTime it still says "so and so wants to FaceTime"
2. When I miss a FaceTime call, it still says "Missed FaceTime"
3. The bottom center button shown during a phone call still says "FaceTime"
4. During the initiation of a FaceTime call, the top still says "FaceTime" before "connecting..."
5. In Settings -> Phone, the switch still says "FaceTime"
