So after the jailbreak, one of the coolest things that you can do is install Siri on your iPhone (4, 3GS). We’ve been playing around with a lot of Siri ports but unfortunately, it took us this long to actually figure out a genuine, working solution that is awesome.
I don’t know if you’ve heard about Wordjelly yet but it’s a cool Siri alternative for your iPhone. Couple that with some really cool GUI and you’ve got a clincher. Okay, without any more delay, let’s get straight to the point. This tutorial will show you how you can install Siri on your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.x. It’s pretty easy.
You’ll need:
- iPhone 4/3GS (jailbroken, of course)
- Connected to Wifi
- Running iOS 6.x (we tested on iOS 6.1)
Note: We’ll be doing a video pretty soon, so till then, use this tutorial to get started! Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you’ll be first to know when we get the video uploaded.
1. Get the Siri Interface
First, we need to get a decent interface that looks and works very much like the original Siri from Apple. To do this, we add a repo in Cydia.
Step 1: Open Cydia
Step 2: Go to Manage -> Sources -> Edit -> Add
Step 3: Add this source: http://cydia.bassamkassem.com/
Step 4: Add Source
Step 5: Once you’ve added the source, open the source by tapping on the BassamKassem repo.
Step 6: Look for a tweak called “Ac!d Siri for iOS 6.1” (or whichever iOS version you are using)
Step 7: Install it. The Siri package is about 90MB and will take a while to install.
Step 8: After installation, you will be asked to reboot your device
2. Install Wordjelly for Siriport Servers
After you’ve rebooted your iPhone, you’ll need to add one more repo. This is the main source for making Siri work.
Step 1: Open Cydia
Step 2: Go to Manage -> Sources -> Edit -> Add
Step 3: Add this repo: http://wordjelly.com/repo
Step 4: Tap on Add Source
Step 5: Now, open this repo source and look for a tweak called “iOS 6 WordJelly Control Panel“
Step 6: Install this and reboot the device again.
(Alternatively, you can add both the repos first and then install the tweaks. But remember to reboot every time you install the tweak.)
3. Start Using Siri!
Now that you’ve installed both the necessary packages, you’ll have to enable Siri.
Step 1: Go to Settings -> General -> Siri and enable it.
Step 2: Then, go to Settings and scroll down to find “Ac!d Settings“
Step 3: Open that and enable Siri here.
Step 4: In the Proxy Host, you should fine this:
That’s it. Long-press Home button to fire up Siri and start using it!!
