Webcams work with this out of the box! I use a creative live cam HD no problems with Skype, Antutu reports a score of 17980 Very happy with that! Out of all my Android devices this is the fastest!!
A quick update! I am now mirroring this version - update_X5II_206j2105.img I have not tried this firmware as I am currently working on other stuff!!! but will report back! the more adventurous can try it and post your comments below!
