Here’s another awesome animated Siri theme

Neurocube Siri is yet another 3D animated Siri theme that contains nearly 300 frames of animation.

Not too long ago we covered we covered Neurotech Siri, a theme in similar vain, which was also elegantly animated.

‘QuickSiri’ opens Siri in full screen mode, claims to make Siri faster on older devices

Looking to make Siri more responsive on older devices like the iPhone 4? Then you may want to give this free jailbreak tweak a go.

QuickSiri allows you to outright bypass Siri opening in the small 1/4 window mode in favor of full screen mode. The developer of the tweak claims that this can make Siri more responsive on older devices.

But does it actually work?

How to launch Siri from Notification Center

Since just about everything else can be launched or accessed from Notification Center, wouldn't it be nice if you could invoke Siri directly from there as well?

With the help of a jailbreak tweak entitled SiriLaunch, now that's possible. SiriLaunch places a little Siri icon shortcut in the bottom left-hand corner of your Notification Center panel for easy access to your personal assistant...

SiriLoveLyrics: Ask Siri for lyrics to your favorite songs

Out of the box, Siri isn't much a music fan. But throw a few jailbreak tweaks here way, and she starts to love music. In fact, this latest tweak apparently makes her love lyrics.

Indeed, SiriLovesLyrics is a jailbreak tweaks for Siri that involves music. It allows you to query Siri for the lyrics of the currently playing song in your Music app, and outputs them in a clean interface so that you can sing along to your favorite songs.

Sara Dictation: Siri-like dictation with multiple language support

Sara Dictation is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to have Siri-like dictation on a non-iPhone 4S device. This isn't the first time we've seen a tweak that allows this — siri0us immediately comes to mind — but it is certainly worth trying.

If "Sara" sounds familiar, that's because it is. It's from the same developer that brought you the Siri alternative named Sara, which we covered last week.

Apple fighting non-iPhone 4S devices running Siri?

Is there a new game of cat and mouse brewing? Reports from non-iPhone 4S Siri users indicate that there may be.

Apparently, Apple has altered its requirements for a successful Siri connection, adding a new token to the mix that has caused problems for those who connect to a 3rd party Siri server on non-iPhone 4S devices.

Are you one of them?

i4Siri: a promising 3rd party Siri server

Ever since the possibility of a Siri Proxy server was first unveiled, it's been all the rage. The promise of being able to run Siri on older devices? Count me and about a million other people in.

Now you can hardly look around without seeing some blurb about a 3rd party Siri server, and although security (or lack thereof) is still a big concern, it's apparently not concerning enough to keep the masses of pre-iPhone 4S owners away.

Andrew Sheridan, one of the primary folks behind the i4Siri project reached out to me about a month ago asking me to try his Siri server. Here are some of the results of that trial...

TweetLine: use Siri to pull up tweets from your Twitter timeline

When iOS 5 launched last Fall, we figured that the Notification Center would become the new hot bed for jailbreak tweaks. But it seems like Siri has also become a popular choice among developers.

The Best Looking Siri Theme Yet

Neurotech Siri is an absolutely amazing looking theme for Siri, and really, the pictures and video don't totally do it justice.

This is a WinterBoard theme that features almost 300 frames of animation on the Siri logo, and you can tell from the fluidity and smoothness when invoking Siri.
