Obivously the Omnifocus support misunderstood my original intent.
I know, SIRI is not available on the iphone 4. But my intention has not been so much to getting new reminders into the reminders app of iphone using SIRI. This cannot work since iphone 4 indeed does not support SIRI, as your correctly mentioned. :-)

The point is that I intended to transfer my manually typped reminders in the reminders app into Omnifocus.
I consider this to be absolutely indenpendent from the missing SIRI functionality in iphone 4.

However, as disappointing this is I searched the Internet for a solution:

Good news guys, some folks encountered the same problem and found a fix. The first solution required the manipulation of some settings in some weired configuration files which requires additional tools. So since I am not an development expert and do not intend to become one, I further searched the Internet and hence, there was a much easier solution which everybody of us can apply without any deeper technological knowledge. The only thing to know is how to copy two URLīs into the safari browser and to confirm this...
Afterwards, you can transfer the manually typed reminders automatically to omnifocus when you launch the app... and you will be am absolutely happy.

The solution is quite simple...

Copy the following two URLīs (one after the other) into the safari browser of the iphone, refresh the browser, confirm the upcoming message and afterwards you can suddenly find the missing funktionality in the settings of omnifocus and can activate it.

Copy the first URL into the browser:

x-omnifocus-debug:set-default:DebugEnableSiriOverride:1

Afterwards (after confirmation of the upcoming message) copy the second
URL into the browser and confirm the message

x-omnifocus-debug:set-default:DebugSiriCapture:1


Having applied this fix to your Omnifocus app, you can now start again the configuration of the settings in omnifocus for the reminder capture feature according to the manual. You will now find the missing entry in the settings dialogue of the OF app.

Conclusion:
Looking at the URL link details it is quite obvious that this does not fix anything in the iphone OS, but it fixes something in the omnifocus app.

So, the interesting question is what the actual reason might be that Omnifocus does not provide this fix officially?

However, if you have encountered the same problem, this is the solution. For me it works fine.

Have fun, enjoy it.

Best regards,
