Spire is a great way to get Siri on non-4S devices, but it’s still a little bit tricky to install and get it up and running. Introducing Sara: a new tweak that apparently works on all iOS devices and promises to replicate Siri’s functionality to the letter. I wish we’re true.

While it does install a sort-of Siri on your non-4S devices, it most certainly will not do Siri’s job. It barely does any job at all. Sara is one dumb broad.

Let’s take a look at the promotional graphics/screenshot above. They say it works on the original iPhone… you should move on with your life, just because of that statement.

If you want to try Sara, add this repo in Cydia: http://isoftjsc.com. Then install Sara for your non-4S devices.

Sireet- an cydia tweak that allows any jail broken device that has Siri working on it to send tweets with your voice. Just trigger Siri and say “Tweet…what ever” it uses the twitter login credentials already configured in the Twitter settings (if you have it set up). Easy.

This doesn’t add any icons to your home screen.

Sireet is now available for free in Cydia via modmyi repo…

Lingual allows you to translate to over 30+ languages using Siri. To use, just simply install the tweak and say to Siri: “translate something to [language]” or “what’s something in [language]“. For example, “what’s how are you in Spanish?”

Lingual Language Support:
Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, Estonian, Finnish, French, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Haitian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukranian, Vietnamese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

No icon is added to your home screen, and no settings are available for this tweak. Simply install, respring, and talk to Siri. It will also install AssistantExtensions.

Lingual is available for free in Cydia via BigBoss repo…

VoiceUtils- a new tweak in Cydia. We’ve talked about custom commands for Siri before, but now that there’s finally a jailbreak for iPhone 4S, we can try them first hand. VoiceUtils is the first package that will add custom power commands to Siri. Install it via Cydia ( free ), then trigger Siri and say:

reboot – will reboot your iPhone
power off – will turn off your iPhone
restart SpringBoard – will respring your iPhone
enter Safe Mode – self explanatory
