This ones for all the twitter fans! iPhone has some of the most coolest twitter apps on the AppStore but this one is way better. Wanna Know why? Well, the app is a widget that allows you o check your twitter feeds from your lock-screen itself. However, the app uses API calls to get the tweets from the people you follow and as we know Twitter allows only 100 API calls/hour from Twitter clients. So the problem is that if your home and you got a desktop twitter client that you use, and you also got Twidget running on your lockscreen, you might run out of API calls quicker than you are actually used to.
The app is pretty simple to use and has to be activated by winterboard. The bad part about the app is that it doesn’t work out of the box. First you need to download this file (site seems to be down currently) and copy it via SSH here : System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/DateFormats. The next step enter into Twidget your Twitter username and password so it can access your twitter account.
To do that you need to navigate to private/var/stash/themes/twidget . There you will find a file called LockBackground.html . Double click on that to open , and there scroll all the way down until you see this piece of code :
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://username:password@twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/username.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=3?></script>
Replace the username:password , with your twitter username and password. EXAMPLE : let’s say your username is sammy1234 and your password is sammy1234. The code should look like this :
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://sammy1234:sammy1234@twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/username.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=3?></script>
Some of you might like the app and its look and some wont. But no need to worry as its complete control is in your hands.
