There have been many problems with the Siri packages that have been released in our repo. We would like to first clarify what happened. During our partnership with The Blizzard Dev Team, we have released the S1ri packages. Those were working fine for some but many had experienced a boot loop. On all of our testing devices, the install has succeeded and we have told the staff over at The Blizzard Dev Team, but apparently they did no further testing themselves. We are sorry for all of the issues and troubles and we would like to make it up to you. The partnership with The Blizzard Dev Team has officially ended, allowing TekWik to release their own Siri Port, called PAT Port. PAT is the new name to our popular Siri server, previously Siri4All, and is an acronym for Personal Assistant Technology. We have thoroughly tested and developed PAT Port to resolve all of the problems encountered with the last port.
Now, I will explain how to configure and setup PAT Port with the PAT server. The installation is comprised of very simple steps and is completed entirely on the device. A video has been included to provide a visual example.
Step 1. Jailbreak your device.
Step 2. Open Cydia and add the repo “apt.tekwik.com”
Step 3. Install the package “PAT Port” or “PAT Port for iPad” depending on your device.
Step 4. Reboot
Step 5. Go back into the Cydia repo and install PAT Setup.
Step 6: Enjoy a fully functional assistant on your iOS Device.

I continually have issues with the installation of S1ri. Every time I install it, I end up getting stuck at the apple logo on reboot. And then I have to restore my phone. It’s not a huge deal, but it gets really annoying. Does anyone else have this problem?
Now that pat is out can I delete s1ri without getting stuck on the apple boot logo
You can try. I was able to successfully, but others weren’t.
This is not S1ri.
hey when i try to install the pat setup thing it goes like 25% and goes to hash sum mismatch how can i fix this?
Just keep trying. This is a connection problem.
I never had s1ri installed at any point and decided to give PAT a try. Had a bit of fun with it then decided to just uninstall it. It got stuck on an infinite reboot cycle after attempting to uninstall. Had to do a complete restore and lost everything. Apps, games, game saves, contacts, notes, calender info, ebook library, etc.
My fault for not backing everything up before trying something new, but not my fault it pretty much fubar’d my iPad. After looking at the comments… I understand it must have been an issue with s1ri as well?
doesn’t seem to work that good in french. When it doesn’t understand what I say it seems to fall back to some weird questioning in english.
What device were you using?
We are working on international support.
this worked brill, it only took half hour to set up, it does sometimes say “please try again later” but this is not a major issue…..fanks xxxxxxxx
After installing PAT the keyboards in any of the Apps (google voice etc) don’t work at all. They just freeze. The actual texting keyboard is fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the google voice app but that didn’t work. Any ideas?
I had the SAME PROBLEM! and i cant get out from infinity loop! IPAD 2
What device and firmware?
Hey im having the same problem with my IPAD2 also. but my s1ri didnt work so i decided to just uninstall it. bad idea.
Most seems to work OK but when asking anything about current location(Where am I?) it tries to show map and then crashes springboard. Asking for close locations (Nearest gas station) it shows a list but is blank. Touching on a blank item on the list tries to bring up maps but then maps crashes. Is this a Ac1d siri probalem or a PAT problem?
I’m not sure if others have reported that Pat Port conflicts with the Vshare program (which replaced Installous since it no longer runs). I had to uninstall VShare in order to install your Pat Port, but now that I want to put back VShare it always gives me this error message in Cydia install screen:
“Trying to overwrite ‘/._.DS_Store’, which is also in package com.tekwik.patportpad5
Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)”
Since installous is no longer available, I now use VShare. Are there any plans to resolve this?
