Cydia Tweak: Sara- Siri Alternative For Non-4S Devices

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.

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
