Now that iOS 6 has official built in widgets for both facebook and twitter , wouldn't it be nice to have the same widgets on iOS 5 ?
With this new Cydia tweak you can have this feature on your iDevice running iOS 5 or less , as the name suggests ' iOS 6 twitter widget ' , allows you to have the tap to tweet iOS 6 feature on your iOs 5 device and it's for free under the bigboss repo



Here's a full video walkthrough :

To enable iOS 6 twitter widget , simply install this tweak from the bigboss repo , go to notifications center in the settings app and add this widget to the notifications center , that's it ! Now you can enjoy the iOS 6 like twitter widget on your iOS 5 running device .

Now there are many tweaks available in Cydia that allows you to tweet directly from your home screen ,but what is the difference between this tweak and other twitter tweaks..?
Well , this tweaks gives you the same UI and experience as that in the iOS 6 , and this tweak highly resembles the tap to tweet in the iOS 6

Since hooks already  exist in the iOS 5 for the twitter integration it was not a difficult task for the developer to get this tweak working on your iOS 5 , Facebook , however would be a different story , because it would require an external authorization from Facebook. iOS 6 has Facebook integration built into the OS itself. That’s not to say that we won’t eventually see a similar tweak for Facebook on iOS 5, though, it’ll just require a little more work than its Twitter counterpart.
