imageAssistantConnect: Jailbreak Tweak Makes it Easier to Get Siri Working on Non-iPhone 4S Devices Without a Proxy Server

Back in December, iOS hackers and developer Grant Paul a.k.a chpwn along with Ryan Petrich had released a jailbreak tweak called Spire, that legally brought Siri to non-iPhone 4S devices, which worked with a proxy server.

A new jailbreak tweak called AssistantConnect has just been released in Cydia by iOS hacker and developer - Bilal Ahmad that aims to make it a lot easier to get Siri working on non-iPhone 4S devices without the need of a proxy server.

    Finally spire without a proxy!!! Oh wait you need a jailbroken iPhone 4S? Then what's the point of Spire if you already have a 4S with original Siri with it? Make a tweak that legally brings Siri to non-4S device WITHOUT a need of a 4S!!!!

    Plus the fact that you need to renew it every 24 hours. Useless.

    Important Important Important ImportantIf you get a message spire not configurated. You need to go into SB settings. And under the More button then to the MobileSubstrate addons. And turn off SpireHooks and SpireInjector. It will work then.

    Huge pain in the ass to get it working on my iPad 2 but finally got it... It would be nice if the keys automatically updated... The fact that u have to email them to youself every 24 hours seems stupid when they could easily integrate Dropbox into the app and have the 4S upload the key to Dropbox every 24 hours and the non-4S subsequently downloads automatically afterwards.... Or some similar automatic integration, wouldn't be too hard for them to do I would think.

    How did you get it working? If I want to install AssistantConnect on my iPad 2 but it is not possible because it depends on "Spire"...I've installed "Spire for iPad" but AssistantConnect doesn't recognice it as "Spire".

    Thats the trick Apple did to make sure no1 takes the keys and uses them so she update the keys every 24 hrs

    That should be done on the assistanceConnect4s with a button making the 4S user to "choose" weither to enable auto sending every 23 hrs or somthing like that

    Ohh great, I'll give your tip a try, using Springtomize 2's More button. Stopped SBSettings since I found it slowed down Notification Center (at least wahen 5.01 untether got released).Thanks John !

    if you use spire with a paying server you should have good luck and not have to worry about updating daily...that's just crazy talk if you're "borrowing" certs from a friend's 4s to ask them to send you certs every day

    Here's what I did to get it working Cleansman:1. Follow this video to install Spire on the iPad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5uzxlma-6U2. Install AssistantConnect (after it installs, change the plist file back to ipad = true)3. Disable the SpireHooks mobile substrate addon4. Go into var/mobile/Library/Preferences and change the permission of com.apple.assistant.plist so that no user can read, write, execute, or sticky... this isn't a perfect solution, for some reason the file permissions go back after a while and you may have to do it again, I haven't found a permanent solution, deleting it has the same affect where it will mysteriously come back.5. Open the file "status" in private/var/lib/dpkg/6. Search for "com.chpwn.spire" and replace it with "com.chpwn.spire2"7. In that same area, go down a few lines until you find Conflicts and delete the first one that says something about ipad.8. Search for "com.theblacknotebookinc.assistantconnect" and replace it with "com.theblacknotebookinc.assistantconnect2"8. In that same area, find where it mentions "com.chpwn.spire" as a dependent and change that to "com.chpwn.spire2"9. Install Belfry for full Siri functionality (weather, stocks, etc)Steps 5-8 is something I came up with myself to prevent Cydia from wanting to remove Spire and AssistantConnect after you've changed the plist file back to ipad = true. Unfortunately, there's no easier method that I can see, this is the most direct because it tricks Cydia into thinking Spire is compatible with iPad and won't ever be able to check otherwise with the original package since we renamed it to spire2.Siri has been working like a charm for me, if she ever messes up, I just go and change the permissions on com.apple.assistant.plist again which is a pain, but hopefully someone will find a more permanent fix for this soon.

    On the device with spire installed Delete com.apple.assistant.plist from var/mobile/library/preferences using ifile or ssh and reboot, that solved it for me
