I thought it'd be nice to have a place to collect and recommend Siri improvements. The two I'm using right now are AssistantExtensions and Lingual. Both seem to work well.
 
CustomSiriBackground lets you change Siri's background

Can I get a link to that siri background you used?

And I use the lingual extension, the only one on Cydia 😛 Works, but I see some translating errors.
Lingual translates between languages using Siri, but only text, not voice.

Can anyone explain the difference between lingual and siri-integrated wolfram. Translation in wolfram works for me quite well.

I think wolfram can only translate one word? maybe a few but not whole sentences like lingual
 
@boshii - How did you get the darkened bg on the text? Is that with the theme? (if so what theme)

Let's make this thread better by including a description of the add-ons when you mentioned them.

^^I would love that too..

and by the way, anyone has good experience with the Hands-Free Control tweak for Siri, in terms of battery life/usability?

I had it for a week and found it to be unreliable so I uninstalled it.

I would say "Siri" and it wouldn't respond. Then during another conversation during the day, Siri would pop up randomly without me asking for her. The sensitivity settings didn't help either.
 
Is there any way to activate Siri without using home button other than hands free control?
I tried using activator and set tap status bar to activate virtual assistant, but it doesn't seems to work? 😕
