Spite is the one and only Siri port that works on iOS 5.1, iOS 5.0.1, and iOS 5.0.
Spite requires a tethered jailbreak no matter what firmware and jailbreak you are on, but it is worth it. Spite uses a different method than Spire for Siri. Therefore, it makes Siri on older iDevices noticeably faster than any other Siri port.
However, Spite also breaks video recording when doing so in the above mentioned method. So, the developer has released the Spite Fix Pack which includes a number of stability bug fixes along with fixing the untether, camera, and other app bugs. This sounds great, the only catch is, it makes your device almost as slow as Spire. That is the reason as to why the developer made it optional. Some are all about speed. Whereas others are more about functionality.
After going through and reading through all the comments on some of our older posts, we have come to the conclusion that the new update is causing more issues than fixing them. It turns out this is actually an installation error on the user end. That’s why we created this post. To help all that have been having trouble with Spite causing issues.
Requirements:
Jailbroken iOS 5 Device
repo.technetec.com/beta Source in Cydia
Note: It is highly recommended for you to restore your device then rejailbreak! This is a lot safer!
Instructions:
1.) Open up Cydia.app.
2.) Navigate to the sources tab and add the repo mentioned above in sources.
3.) Click on the source you just added and click on Spite. After you have done this click Install. This is on the upper right part of the app.
4.) Next reboot tethered (when on iOS 5.1).
5.) Open up Cydia.app again.
6.) Go to the TechNetec Repo in Cydia and click on Spite Fix pack, install, then confirm.
7.) Reboot tethered with redsn0w.
*UPDATE 1!* Research has been made. The only difference between Spite 2.1 and Spite 2.2 is that 2.2 includes the uninstaller. Nothing else has changed. Do not wait for 2.1 to be back on the repo as this will not happen. Also, make sure to reboot after installing Spite, then reboot after installing the fix pack. Queuing the two together causes errors.
*UPDATE 2!* The Developer of Spite @S26Tech is working on fixing any bugs and issues with Spite and the Spite Fix Pack. Here are the posts they made on Twitter:
Analyzation of this post: Spite 2.3 will be released soon starting with new Siri files to fix and issues will the old version. It also confirms my last update saying that Spite 2.1 and Spite 2.2 are the exact same thing, except that 2.2 can uninstall without a restore. The last post said that the Spite Fix Pack will be soon be updated later today. The issues is that its making 3 cache backups instead of one, therefore it can’t be uninstalled and it causes glitches. Stay tuned for the updated Spite.
Done! Your Siri should work if you have a good proxy! Basically, installing everything this way installs everything at once and reduces any errors. The only issue you might have is a white settings icon. A fix to this will be coming soon, however if you can’t wait you can ssh into your device and copy Settings.png to the Settings.app folder. Remember, this is a beta. Even though it is public, it is beta. Issues will be here until fixed. If you are not prepared for the consequences, don’t do it.
As to any issues with Siri saying she can’t connect, this is the server. Apple has different servers depending on which version of iOS you are on. Therefore, a server that might have worked on iOS 5.0.1 might not work on 5.1, because the server hasn’t been updated. If you want a good working server that doesn’t do this, buy a slot from S26Tech Shop. They work great, work on iOS 5.1, and will work with the iPad 3 when it gets jailbroken.
