This greatly differs from the Siri0us software that we showed you last week, as Siri0us only offered a hacked-up version of Siri’s Dictation feature. H1Siri, on the other hand, says it offers the full Siri experience on any GSM or CDMA iPhone 4 running iOS 5 or 5.0.1.
The package is only available on a custom repo, so you’ll have to add a URL to your list of Cydia sources. Do this by opening Cydia, selecting the Manage tab, Sources, Edit, and then addhttp://www.iphone3gsystem.fr/cydia/. Then just do a search for H1Siri.
You’ll notice that Cydia warns you about the repo because it contains cracks and other illegal software, which iDB does not condone in any way. In fact, we were very skeptical of mentioning the package for several reasons. First off, it comes from an unknown developer and an unknown source, which should always send up a red flag. Second, the only way we’ve heard that an actual Siri port is possible is by using illegal code.
we’re hearing multiple reports from folks who’ve tried the tweak who keep getting the “Sorry, I’m having trouble connecting to the network” error messages. This is probably due to the fact that the Siri voice commands and speech-to-be-converted-to-text voice files go through an unknown proxy server and not Apple servers. Said server is being hammered right now so it probably won’t work for you until the load decreases.
About the security:
Several prominent developers, including chpwn, have confirmed that H1Siri does indeed use copyrighted binaries from the iPhone 4S. Not only is this hack illegal, but you have to keep in mind that you are knowingly sending all of your personal data (texts, call data, etc.) through unknown servers that could record your activity.
The team behind H1Siri, the CD-Dev Team, has confirmed that their servers are currently down and could be down for weeks. So still, don't expect too much I guess...
