The Home button breaks, it is a reality, many of us have noticed that over time the Home button has started to malfunction and we have regretted using it so much; now we are looking for any application that helps us use it less, the most useful is Zephyr without a doubt.
But Siri has brought a new use to our "beloved" button, a long press that many of us use many times a day, if you want to invoke Siri without touching the Home button we bring you two options: SiriBoard to add an icon to your Springboard and LockAssistant to add an icon to your lock screen, so you can invoke Siri from anywhere without using the Home button.
You can download both modifications free on Cydia, You will find them in the BigBoss repo. You need to have done the jailbreak on your device.

Activator is the definitive tweak to not touch home, I don't change it for anything, let's see if Apple already puts more Assistive Touch, I would no longer use the jailbreak practically; D
Good afternoon Gonzalo, the utilities offered to touch at least the Home button are good, the problem is that to get to the Siri icon, you also have to press the Home button or the Power button to access the lock screen and turn to the Siri icon.
I use the Activator, once I get to the lock screen a touch or two or as it is configured, in the status bar for example, and activate Siri, it can be configured in the way you want as you well know, I I use the Activator gestures a lot and I use the Home button very little, all you have to do is use one button or another to get to the lock screen at least once, or is there any other way to do it?
Greetings Jon.
Hi Gonzalo, do you know something about why siri no longer works for me on my iphone 4?
"How to use Siri without touching the Home button" You take it to hatred. Problem?
But let's see. If you don't want to touch the home button, you just have to put the phone to your ear and start talking. No need for extra programs.
Has someone read the Siri instructions? I see that no.
Good morning, I do not know if we have read the Siri instructions or not, but I see that at least what I have explained has not been understood by someone, if the phone is locked even if you raise it or do what you want, Siri does not work, always you have to use the Home button or the power button, after this you can use what you want, Activator, what is indicated in the post, or as you say raise the phone to your ear for Siri to act, but first you have to put the screen Activate by pressing Home or on.
Greetings.
Good morning, and referring to Siri, the way to activate it without pressing the Home button is by having the headphones connected and holding down the center of the headset control for a second or two and so Siri acts, and you can give it the order you want through the microphone of the handset, Greetings.
