How do you know it was SBsettings draining the battery? This is the first I hear of this.

is there any difference between 3G Unrestrictor and my3g?

throw in winterboard into the apps list

I was wondering the same thing... I think My3G is the first one that is facetime compatible, besides that, I'm not sure of the differences.

What is mytones and unlimtones?

 

[LoLife]

unlimtones gets you all free ringtones and mytones lets you manage and delete your ringtones. Mytones also lets you create your own tones out of your itunes music, haven't used it in a while though cause it was buggy last time i used it

Is there an app that allows you to change up text msg tones?

Actually its in a few other threads.
I restored my phone because I was having major battery issues. I reinstalled all of the apps that I had before except SBSettings and lockinfo and my battery is back to normal. I'm pretty sure it's not lockinfo because many other people are using it and don't seem to have the battery drain issue. However many people who are having issues with battery also have SBsettings installed.
While not scientific proof it does seem that it was SBsettings that was causing my excessive battery drain.

There may have been some other issue that in combination with SBsettings caused the battery drain issue, but restoring my phone and installing everything except as SBsettings seems to have cured it.

Damn I hope that isnt the case for me, that is my favorite and most used JB app.

One option is go into cydia, sections, theme (sounds) and there are some in there. Then you just use winterboard to set them up

Anyway to do this without winterboard?

You can swap out the .caf files for your own sound choices using OpenSSH.
