How to Install Flipboard on Any Android Device ( Unofficially )

May 9th, 2012

One of the  most famous and most indigenous iOS App, Flipboard was briefly demonstrated on Android which comes exclusively on the new Samsung Galaxy S III. Every head turned when the y heard Flipboard was seen on Android. But it was announced that it made exclusive for Samsung Galaxy S III. Not anymore. You see, developers are smart, they hate it when the company says ‘ This is shiny, new and amazing, but its only for the device I want to sell’.

So at XDA-Developers, a 2.32MB APK arrived a few hours ago, which should essentially install Flipboard on any Android device.  Here is how to install it and start flipping like a iOS user.

Spire : A Cydia Hack Brings Siri to Jailbroken iOS5 Devices

December 28th, 2011

Hackers, developers and programmers are trying hard to break into Siri and give it to people in any device they way. Many succeed a little and some even managed to port Siri to iPhone 4.
But none of those tools worked properly or gave the full Siri functionality to the ported device. But a latest Siri hack by two veteran hackers, Grant Paul ( @chpwn ) and Ryan Petrich works as it should, replicates exactly what Siri is supposed to do and with some minor tweaks/hacks you can add some more functionality to Siri.

iPhone 4 Can Now Have Siri via Cydia

December 5th, 2011

Developers have tried to port Siri to all the other devices from quite a long time. Many succeeded in doing that partly, some managed to get the Siri UI on various devices and two apple developers actually managed to port Siri on iPhone4 and iPod Touch but never intended to release it because of its server complications. Siri’s protocol was cracked and hopes of running a Siri Proxy to process all the Siri requests on different devices seemed real.

All these efforts by various developers has finally paid off and now every jailbroken device could install Siri’s twin sister ‘H1Siri‘ via Cydia. The App claims to work exactly like Siri and all the requests are processed through a proxy server.

It is available on the this Cydia repository http://www.iphone3gsystem.fr/cydia/
It works as it is says but since it runs all the processes through a proxy server setup by the developers at CD-Dev Team it isn’t really advisable for you to install it as it might collect your personal data easily.
