Activate Voice Control:

Important: You must first use a jailbroken iPod touch or iPhone to get files to have voice control to work on the iPad. Use a friends iDevice or another device you own. Navigate to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/VoiceServices.framework and copy the RecognitionResources folder to your desktop

Navigate to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/VoiceServices.framework and copy the RecognitionResources folder to that directory.

Next, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app and open your devices .plist. If you do not know which one, here is a list.
iPad WiFi - K93AP.plist
iPad GSM (AT&T) - K94AP.plist
iPad CDMA (Verizon) - K95AP.plist

Now under

Code:

<key>capabilities</key>
<dict>

add

Code:

<key>voice-control</key>
<true/>

Now respring or reboot and you can now hold down the home button and use Voice Control. The background image does not show but everything is still usable.

Tip: Use with Voice Activator from Cydia to improve Voice Control by adding your own commands and other features.

Hide Lockscreen Slider Background Bar:
Install from the iFans repo "repo.ifans.com"

Here is what it looks like on my iPad:


Hide Lockscreen Slider Completely:
Install from the iFans repo "repo.ifans.com"

Here is what it looks like on my iPad:


"Native" SMS with Google Voice (3G Users DO NOT USE until updated. When updated a change log will appear.):

Requirements:
SMS GV Extension (Cydia)
OpenSSH
SSH Client on PC
SSH experience
MobileSMS.app
iFile
Official Google Voice app for iPhone (App Store)

Step 1: Get MobileSMS.app from an iPhone you may own or a friends or something. Make sure it's 4.3.x. Any one of those should work.

Step 2: Open your SSH Client and SSH into your device. Navigate to /Applications and drop MobileSMS.app into there.

Step 3: Install from the iFans repo "repo.ifans.com".(not yet on Cydia)

Step 4: Open Settings > SMS GV Extension and under Google Voice Account enter your GV Username and Password. Go to Receive Settings and select Official GV app. Un-select Local Mail if selected. Add optional Signiture under Send.

Step 5: Open the official Google Voice app and log in.

Done. You should be able to send and receive text's with your Google Voice account. Any problems report here or with a PM.

If Messages does not open, install MobileTerminal here and install it on your iPad. Launch Terminal and input this text

Code:

[COLOR="Red"]su[/COLOR] [Return]
[COLOR="red"]alpine[/COLOR] [Return] (Unless root password has been changed)
[COLOR="red"]chmod -R 755 /Applications/MobileSMS.app[/COLOR] [Return]
[COLOR="red"]killall SpringBoard[/COLOR] [Return]

This problem will occur if you do not have the permissions preserved from the MobileSMS.app you copied. You will most likely need to do this step, but a couple might not.

Glitches: Only known glitch that I have encountered and has been reported was that you cannot see the message you type until you send it. It is a first time glitch and is fixed by hitting Return while typing in the app and then hit delete and it should be fixed. Thanks jayb_777

Thanks jayb_777 for helping with this mod!

THIS IS USING QUICK REPLY FOR SMS

Huh?

It doesn't show, only the edges. Not the BG.
