    Siri Dictation

    Since the debut of Siri virtual assistance alongside the iPhone 4S, hackers have been trying hardly to port the feature to older iDevices. There are no hardware limitations but the only concern still that the service needs to connect to Apple servers to get it working.

    Siri’s dictation feature has now been made publicly available in Cydia for the iPhone 4, 3GS, Touch 4G and it actually works. Developer Eric Day has released a jailbreak tweak called Siri0us.

    “Siri dictation for your iOS 5 devices. No iPhone 4S keys/files required.”

    The tweak actually works but sadly with some Ads around.

    Add the source http://apt.if0rce.com on Cydia to get the tweak

  • How To Jailbreak iOS 5 Semi-Tethered On iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

    October 23, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Cydia, Hack, How To, iPhone, Jailbreak Tags: blog, How To, iOS 5, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Jailbreak, Semi-Tethered No Responses

    While waiting for full untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, here is a very good deal for a half solution to that.

    BigBoss has released Semitethered Jailbreak, a new Cydia package that lets you reboot your iOS 5 jailbroken iPhone at will while away from your computer!

    semitether

    It’s not without it’s cons, but it’s a whole lot better than a normal tethered jailbreak.

    How to get use Semitethered Jailbreak

    Step 1: Tether Jailbreak your iOS 5 device with RedSn0w

    Step 2: Add http://thebigboss.org/semitether to your Cydia sources.

    Step 3: Install SemiTether and reboot!

    That’s it. Now you can reboot your iPhone, even away from your computer!

    As mentioned, there are a few cons though.

    • Phone will reboot to Home screen
    • Can use every stock app on iPhone except Mail and Safari until boot tether
    • Can’t use Cydia, or any jailbreak apps and tweaks until boot tether
    • Phone can take longer to boot

    That’s a pretty good compromise, whenever you want to reboot while away from the computer.

    Remember to get the full functionality back you have to boot the device back into a tethered jailbroken state using Redsn0w. To do this, start Redsn0w, go into “Extras”, select “Just Boot” option and enter DFU mode. Redsn0w should now boot your device as tethered
