Hello!

I'm wondering if theres any jailbreak tweak for iOS 6 that will give me the same functionality as iOS 7 activation lock?

I've been looking around alot but not found anything, so I figured i'll have a go and ask here.

Thanks!

Nope, that's an exclusive feature, sorry. Jailbreak tweaks would not save you, even if there was an implementation of that. Anyone could put your phone in DFU, restore to 7.1, and have a working phone with no lock.

This. The reason the lock works is that it's in Apple's server so no amount of stores etc can get around it. There might be a jailbreak tweak that can trick a phone into not calling out to Apple but not one that goes the other way
