Siri

Nesta semana a luta foi a instalação do Siri, num iPhone 4. Siri é um assistente pessoal para iOS, baseado em inteligência artificial. Com Siri nossos comandos de voz são interpretados e transformados em ações tais como: redigir um email, consultar a previsão do tempo, verificar compromissos da agenda, reproduzir uma música, dentre outras. Este assistente foi o grande chamariz de vendas do iPhone 4S.

Mas, graças aos nerds de plantão, já está completamente funcional no meu iPhone 4, mas só funciona em aparelhos com jailbreak. O único problema após a instalação foi o travamento (crash) de alguns aplicativos. No meu caso ocorreu com o Evernote e o Facebook. Mas uma busca rápida pela internet resolveu o problema.

O processo consiste em três etapas:
1) instalação do SiriPort;
2) instalação do certificado;
3) instalação do Corona (que resolve o problema dos crashs).

Depois só aguardar alguns minutos (pode demorar) para testar.

O tutorial que segui foi o seguinte:

This guide will teach you how-to install Siri on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad with SiriPort Cydia tweak. Please follow this guide at your own risk.

Though SiriPort.ru claims that SiriPort will be able to install Siri on iPhone 4 / iPhone 3Gs / iPod Touch 4G / iPod Touch 3G / iPad, I only tested SiriPort on iPhone 4, and some users successfully installed Siri on iPod Touch 4G as well as iPhone 3GS (slow). If you are worry about theprivacy of public Siri, you shoudn’t try this method.

Requirements to Install SiriPort on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad

In order to install siri on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad, please check and verify the following requirements:

• It works on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad
• Before you can install siri on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad, your device has to be jailbroken. I’m assuming your device is already jailbroken, however, if you haven’t done this, please check our how-to jailbreak guide.
• I recommend you to definitely get connected to a hi-speed Wi-Fi network because the SiriPort file size is more than 100 MB.
• Remember that SiriPort is a modified version of Spire. Therefore, for those who already have Spire installed, you must remove Spire first prior to installing SiriPort.
• iFile Cydia app, WinSCP software, iFunBox software, or any other software/app whic is capable to manage iOS filesystem (file manager).

If you had at once installed Spire, you need to remove Spire from Cydia and DELETE com.apple.assistant.plist (see step#5) since you simply cannot have Spire and SiriPort together.

Steps to Install SiriPort on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad

1. Add to Cydia Repo: http://repo.siriport.ru/
   
2. Once repo has been added, search and install from cydia this package:
   Siriport
3. It may take minutes to hours to complete SiriPort installation because you are downloading over 100 MB data. So, it really relies on your internet speed.
4. Once SiriPort installation finished, you will be asked to tap Reboot device.
5. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.
   DO THIS (RECURRING) IF ONLY YOU CANNOT GET SiriPort working for hours/days/suddenly stop working WHILE THE SiriPort SERVER IS UP AND RUNNING. OR,
   DO THIS (ONCE) IF ONLY YOU’VE EVER INSTALLED Spire.
   Open iFile/iFunBox/WinSCP/etc and navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ (CaSe-SenSiTivE) and DELETE com.apple.assistant.plist file. It’s NOT NECESSARY to change the file permission. After you removed com.apple.assistant.plist file, a fresh one is going to be generated on the next step
6. Open Safari and go to http://siriport.ru/1.crt in address bar then tap Go.
   
7. Then you will be required to install a profile of guzzoni.apple.com. The profile is Not trusted until you install the profile to your device.

8. Tap Install and then a warning will pop-up:
   

   Unverified Profile
   The authenticity of “guzzoni.apple.com” cannot be verified. Installing this profile will change settings on your iPhone.
   Root Certificate
   Installing the certificate “guzzoni.apple.com” will add it to the list of trusted certificates on your iPhone.

9. Tap Install once again to confirm the profile installation.
   
10. Tap Done.
11. Disable Siri by tapping Settings → General → Siri
12. Then switch OFF the Siri → tap Disable Siri → and then restart your iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad.
13. Next, re-enable siri by tapping Settings → General → Siri
14. Switch ON the Siri → tap Enable Siri
15. Finish.

You need to check out the SiriPort server status before you get started using Siri on iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad. Don’t bother to activate the siri while the SiriPort server is down.
Check SiriPort server status and statistics here: http://siriport.ru/forum/siriport-ru-server-status.php

If you find SiriPort Server online, you can begin talking to Siri on your iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch/iPad by holding the Home button until the siri appears/heard siri tones then you could mention something to Siri like Hi, Hello, or anything.

It takes only a few minutes and few tests to have Siri working and replying to my instructions. Thus, I’d like to confirm that SiriPort really works like a charm!
As you can see in server statistics, you can find numbers of folks that presently talking to Siri thru SiriPort server. Perhaps you may consider to use SiriPort on off-hours to have better experience with SiriPort. My Siri working well when there were over 3k current users talking to Siri, but sometimes it goes unresponsive at that number, lower than that would be better.

If you cannot get it work, please check the following SiriPort FAQ.
