The tweak, called “H1Siri” is available at the repo “”http://www.cydia.be”.

Read on for instructions on how to install Siri on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G.
@notcom, the developer behind the tool TinyUmbrella has recently upgraded it to support the iOS 5 beta 2. Developers, if care then save their SHSH Blobs now. Even if Apple release iOS 5 beta 3 in future, you will be able to downgrade to iOS 5 beta 2 without facing any kind of error in the iTunes. Those who don’t know, TinyUmbrella also helps you to preserve the BaseBand of your iPhone 4 using TSS server, thereby, making your device vulnerable to ultrasn0w again.
The most popular tweak in Cydia, AppSync is now available for iOS 4.2.1. It lets you install cracked apps on iOS 4.2.1 firmware by patching the MobileInstallation file on iOS 4.2.1. Once you have installed AppSync iOS 4.2 on your iDevice running jailbroken iOS 4.2.1, you’ll be able to install cracked apps (.IPA) on your iDevice without using iTunes.
Some apps run code on the SpringBoard, so if any of it crashes, you’re pretty much screwed. But, MobileSubstrate is a failsafe “SpringBoard.app” that will run in case of a SpringBoard crash. This saves you from SWOD’s, etc, by temporarily disabling the code until SpringBoard reloads correctly. MobileSubstrate has been updated with iOS 4.2.1 compatibility.
Recently on Twitter, hacker and developer has posted a tweet telling that the new version of Cydia is about to be released and had to work hard for this one. He have also Mentioned the two other hackers / programmers Jay Freeman & chpwn are trying to do their best to make the best Cydia, here’s a screenshot showing the new Cydia.
We already told you about Cydia and Rock.app integration and it was a great success for Cydia, but some users noticed heavy load of apps, and some complications with Cydia. So, Jay Freeman (the creator of Cydia, a.k.a Saurik) decided to give Cydia tons of new features which will satisfy all users, also will improve some issues, and improve it’s speed.
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you might have heard about Cydia and Rock.app. They are both stores (the same as App Store) for 3rd party apps, themes, tweaks and everything you may want for your iPhone. Cydia was developed by Jay Freeman a.k.a Saurik, and registered under SaurikIT, LLC and is owned by Jay Freeman, and Rock.app is registered under Rock Your Phone, Inc and is owned by Mario Ciabarra.
The iPhone developer and hacker behind Sn0wbreeze has confirmed that Cydia has started saving SHSH Blobs of iOS 4.2 betas for the next untethered jailbreak on the final version of iOS 4.2. Now as to why this is important? Geohot’s Limera1n uses a userland exploit from Comex to make an untethered jailbreak for all iOS 4.1 devices. While Apple cant patch the original hardware based Limera1n exploit, the userland exploit though has been patched in the final version of iOS 4.2 firmware.
Cydia’s repositories allow the installation of software packages, most of which are available to download at no cost. You can add these sources / repositories / repos yourself and have access to all types of packages to download and install on your iDevice (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad).
