iOS Jailbreak: How to Install Siri on Your iPhone 4/3GS & iPod Touch Without Proxy Server [GUIDE & VIDEO]
Apple fans looking to import Siri - the hugely popular voice-activated personal assistant that debuted with the iPhone 4S - to other iDevices, the wait is over.
The problem, up until now, was the range of glitches and bugs that came with installing expensive proxy servers (issues with maintaining connection due to network bandwidth issues) or, worse still, having to live a poorly-installed and often malfunctioning Siri, despite repeated installations.
There is, however, good news at last. The discerning community of jailbreakers from JBU have unearthed a perfect solution to jailbreak your iDevice and then install Spire on it, along with the aid of an AssistantServer Installer.
The new method involves the use of a basic plug-in that uses the Siri server to connect to Google's API. This process eliminates the possibility of a crowded server - irrespective of how many people are using the plug-in, the user connection speed remains stable and thus Siri is expected to work as seamlessly as if it were on an iPhone 4S, according to Jailbreak Untethered (JBU).
In addition to the step-by-step guide, the jailbreak team of hackers brings an exclusive video illustrating the AssistantServer in action. This makes it easier for you to get Siri working safe and sound without the need to buy an expensive Proxy server.
Check out the step-by-step guide below to install Siri without a proxy server:
How to Install Siri on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch 4G/3G Without a Proxy Server
Pre-Requisites
- You must first jailbreak your iDevice
- Then install the following packages:
- Spire
- AssistantServer Installer
Procedure:
Step 1: Open Cydia > Click on "Search" > Type "Spire" > Install (Or follow the video tutorial below for installing Spire)
Step 2: Once you are done installing "Spire", go back to the search bar and type "AssistantServer Installer" > Install (AsistantServer Installer is the add-on available for just £0.62 or $0.99)
Step 3: Navigate to Settings > General > Siri
Step 4: Now, ensure that Siri is set to "On"
Step 5: Navigate back to Settings > Scroll down to select "Spire"
Step 6: After selecting "Spire", you'll see the proxy host which you'll type into your proxy server: http://127.0.0.1:4443

The only catch is you won't need to install a certificate since the tweak has been updated recently and a certificate is not required anymore. Congratulations!
