Do you want Siri, but not the iPhone 4S? If so, there’s a simple port that brings Siri to older iDevices – it’s called Spire. Spire was developed by Chpwn and it’s available for free from Cydia users with a Jailbroken iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4th generation or even an iPod Touch 3rd generation (external microphone is required).
However, due to the nature of Spire, you’ll need to have or purchase assess to a “Spire server” in order for it to function properly. Follow the steps listed below to have Spire up and running on your iDevice in no time:
iPad and iPad 2 steps:
1. Jailbreak your iPad 1 or 2 using one of these tutorials:
2. Open Cydia, go to the sources section at the bottom and add the following source: http://ihacksrepo.com/
3. Install “Spire” from the ihacksrepo source and reboot your iPad
4. Install “iPad Siri Fix” from the ihacksrepo source, install Belfry (video here) from the BigBoss source and reboot your iPad
5. Purchase access to a “Spire server” and set up Spire using the instructions provided by server administrators (I recommend using this Spire server)
Once you have set up Spire correctly, you will have full access to Siri on your iPad!
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4th generation and iPod Touch 3rd generation steps:
1. Jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch using this tutorial:
2. Open Cydia, search for and install “Spire” from the BigBoss source
3. Reboot your iPhone or iPod Touch
4. Purchase access to a “Spire server” and set up Spire using the instructions provided by server administrators (I recommend using this Spire server)
Once you have set up Spire correctly, you will have full access to Siri on your iPhone or iPod Touch
*NOTE If your iDevice has any issues with Spire, reboot and then respring!
