Cast Harry Potter Spells On Your iPhone Using MyAssistant Jailbreak Tweak

If you love Harry Potter and rock a jailbroken iPhone, by using the recently released MyAssistant tweak plus Activator it's possible to enchant one's iPhone 4S via a series of custom Siri commands!
The concept reached us in a tip from one of our loyal AppAdvice readers, who explained that he's currently set-up four Harry Potter-themed custom commands using MyAssistant and Activator. Here's a breakdown of Siri commands our clever reader has configured:
First, using the SpringFlash jailbreak tweak, you can use both the "Lumos" and "Nox" enchantments as custom commands to enable and disable the iPhone's flashlight. Fans of the series will know that both terms are spells used to cast a light at the end of one's wand.
Second, our reader notes that he's configured the term "Alohomora" to unlock his iPhone handset - in the world of Mr. Potter, this spell is used to unlock doors and such.
Third - and perhaps my favorite of the bunch - our reader explains that he uses the term, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," to launch the built-in Maps app. In 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,' the wizarding trio use the enchantment to reveal the contents of the Marauder's Map. Apple fans could also use the term to open the Find My Friends app, which displays the location of users' friends within a map interface.
All commands can be configured using a combination of MyAssistant (which is available for $0.99) and Activator (which is free). In the case of the flashlight enchantments, SpringFlash - another free package - is also required.
Enjoy, and thanks again to our reader for sending this in!
