This past week saw the release of some awesome tweaks like MyAssistant — a Siri tweak that adds a great amount of new functionality to Siri. There was also RingerX VIP, the ringer and vibrate customization utility, along with Zeppelin — the custom carrier logo tweak.

Folks who believe that Siri's initial interface window takes up way more space than it needs will be happy to hear about this new jailbreak tweak.
TinyAssistant, from developer Ron Melkhior, is a new utility that shrinks Siri's interface window down to the size of your iOS app switcher...

It's been a good day for Cydia releases. Not long after RingerX VIP was released comes MyAssistant (formerly called MySiri). MyAssistant brings a gang of new customization options to Siri; everything from custom conversations to toggles, Activator events, and more.
MyAssistant is now available on Cydia's BigBoss repo for $0.99, which is fairly cheap considering all of the options. Be sure to read our full walkthrough of the tweak and give it a go.
If you're looking to customize Siri on your jailbroken iDevice, then there are already a few options available on Cydia.
AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles are perhaps two of the best examples of Siri customization on a jailbroken device, but there's one in the works that's looking like a winner as well.
Indeed, MySiri — an upcoming Siri tweak — promises to add a ridiculous amount of end-user control to the Siri interface.
Co-developers Andrea Oliva & Akhil Tolani provided us with a sneak peak of the upcoming tweak. Check inside as we give it the full video preview...
Last week's jailbreak theme was overwhelmingly Siri. Apple's mobile assistant finally started to gain some useful jailbreak tweaks thanks to the iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak. We also covered how to get XBMC on your iPhone and other portable iOS devices to really open up its media capabilities.

Tired of the mundane "beep" that Siri does when you initially invoke her? Maybe you found our tutorial on how to make Siri say "Yes?" compelling?
If that wasn't enough for you, then you can take it a step further and create your own custom Siri audio introduction as well. Check inside for our full tutorial...
I've received numerous questions, emails, and comments asking about one simple Siri feature. How do you make her say "Yes?"
Many have seen Siri say "yes?" on our videos after being invoked, and are curious as to how to go about replicating it.
The answer, is Hands-Free Control, a jailbreak tweak that we've covered in depth at iDownloadBlog. We've created a special video that shows you how to use this jailbreak tweak to make Siri more obedient, at least in theory; check it out...
By now you've probably heard of AssistantExtensions — the awesome Siri tweak for jailbroken iPhone 4S' that allows for a seemingly endless amount of customization to the personal assistant.
It's an amazing tweak in itself, and will likely garner numerous extensions and plugins to make it even more awesome than it currently is. But did you know that with the help of this tweak you can start creating your own custom conversations with Siri now?
Inside, we'll show you how to do just that; it's not difficult, just follow a few easy steps.
CustomSiriBackground, much like its cousin CustomNCBackground, allows you to add a photograph to Siri's backdrop to spruce it up.
If you've ever used CustomNCBackground, then you know exactly what to expect, as the interface is exactly the same.
For those growing weary of Apple's overuse of the linen background, then this tweak should add some much needed spice to your life.
And the Siri tweaks just keep rolling in. Lingual is one of the first 3rd party extensions for the awesome AssistantExtensions tweak that we covered earlier. It allows you to translate phrases or text into a variety of languages from the comforts of the Siri interface, and it's awesome for language learners and travelers.
It really is amazing what some developers have been able to do in the short period that the iPhone 4S has been jailbroken, and this one is nothing short of spectacular.
If there is one good reason to get an iPhone 4S, it's Siri, the iPhone's witty virtual assistant that can help you do various tasks such as searching the web, scheduling appointments, send messages, etc by simply using voice commands. Siri can do many things, but there are also many things Siri can't do.
Sure you can set up a Siri proxy and and install plugins to have Siri do things she's not supposed to – like starting a car – but for most people, the technical hustle to get this going is not even an option. It's just not practical.
Enters AssistantExtensions, a free MobileSubstrate tweak that aims at extending Siri's capabilities in a very simple way...

Earlier today we told you about an upcoming tweak that would let you send tweets using Siri. At the time, we didn't know the name of this tweak or when it would be available for download.
It appears that Sireet, as it is called, is now available for download from the MMI repo for free...
