Not working on the transformer or the gtablet yet. But hopefully we'll get a working app soon either from microsoft or from the dev community.
I tried a patched version that took out the restriction. It force closes when trying to accept a call and enable video, but the settings and buttons show up...
gtab
Can some one upload the APK when they get the new video skype so we can try this on the gtablet.
Here's the issue, I think...
The support for video chat requires Gingerbread. If I understand correctly, this is because GB finally introduced a standard API to access the front camera.
Until Gingerbread did this, all apps that accessed the camera needed their own drivers to do so (there was no standard camera driver to access back then, which is why apps needed to have built in support for specific devices).
Skype is using this to their advantage by releasing an app that doesn't require much code change to support device almost any device (why they are only supporting specific devices at a time is mostly political AFAIK).
But here's the problem- There is no official Gingerbread for our hardware! All the GB roms we have are hacked together with peices of code with missing native hardware drivers since they don't exist! That means, I would guess, the new Gingerbread camera API is USELESS BECAUSE GINGERBREAD LACKS THE NATIVE HARDWARE SUPPORT!
Yes, this is awfully depressing. But without a real Official Gingerbread rom, unless Skype starts offering Froyo camera support (unlikely since they would go back to the old problem of suporting each camera hardware individually), this is just not going to happen.
Maybe if the rumors of official Honeycomb drivers turn out to be true, and Skype eventually supports video with HC (another *IF*), then maybe. But that's a long way off.
Very depressing- I was very excited about this working until I came to this realization.
Wrong thread.
How's that? Looks like the correct thread to me.

I meant myself. I put a post here and then realized it was meant for elsewhere. Multiple windows openned.
Here's the apk for the new released skype vid app.
EDIT: Whoops ... I thought I was posting this in Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums....
Spotted on Androidguys.
The official Facebook application saw an update last night which brings a number of new features and improvements. First up, the new version (1.7) now works on Android tablets running Honeycomb although it's not necessarily optimized for the experience. Users will find some of the changes (pull to refresh, easier sharing) are more obvious than others, however we're digging the overall progress.
Facebook 1.7 features include:
Made it easier to share with who you want
Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site
Added the ability to tag friends and places in posts
Added new design for Profile and Group Walls
Fixes and tweaks:
Improved photo browsing with swiping
Added the ability to tag your friends in photos
Improved Messages and Notifications
Fixed a number of crashes and performance issues

It's jelly time. Made by a TPT user for TPT users.
Notice
Developed on a WE/16Gb 3G TPT. US, UK and ROW Tablets (any size) are confirmed to work, too
Density set to 160 dpi to keep market compatibility. Don't like to do this but the market problems are just annoying. Change it with a appropriate app if you don't like it (btw. our native density is approximate 150 dpi).
Flash on your own risk! Might turn your TPT into a expensive chopping board.
Requirements
This build uses the Lenovo ICS kernel, you need to upgrade to stock ICS first (Make sure you keep root!)
A ICS ClockworkMod version like this one.
Screenshots
here (Thanks obscure.detour)
Installation
Download ROM zipfile (and 3G patch if you want to) and put it on a sd-card
Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
Make a nandroid backup in CWM!
Make sure the backup worked!
Full Wipe (May not be needed if you come from an earlier CM10 version)
Flash zip in CWM
Optional: Flash 3G patch in CWM
reboot
Restore Stock ICS
Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
Restore old nandroid backup
Additional Steps
If you have problems with random reboots or sleep of death try to change wifi to "always on". You can find it in: settings->wifi->"click the 3 dots in the upper right"->advanced->keep wifi on during sleep
If you want to use NotesMobile you want to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34649207#post34649207
If you have problems with wiping (just doesn't work) and want to reformat the data partition, use this zip in CWM: http://ubuntuone.com/4zKT1jqeqhR8qdGh2y4TaM (WARNING: THIS WILL REFORMAT DATA, THAT INCLUDES YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD!)
Working:
Wifi
Touchscreen + Stylus
Bluetooth
HW Graphic Acceleration
Sound (Including Mic)
Cameras Front/Back
Compass (but needs calibration)
HW Video encoding/decoding (i.e. for Youtube HQ)

GPS (Well "working" like always nearly unusable but its working theoretically)
Lightsensor and other sensors
3G (Ericsson card)
3G (Gobi card)
HDMI
Stylus
Buttons
Not Working
Nothing here anymore. Everything is working somehow but some parts still contain bugs (see buglist)
Known Bugs
Google maps crashes sometimes
3G issues:
- On some devices the carrier is not shown and 3G needs more time to connect
Wifi tethering not working
Stylus only mod not changeable in lockscreen
Some other bugs that occur only on few devices
Things maybe added in future releases
A density of 150dpi (a soon as i find a good hacked market or something else)
Getting everything to work and stable
Thanks

Amazing! I cannot thank you enough for your continued work Koshu.
Doing a nandroid and testing now. No reason it should not work on a US-based tablet, correct?
Also, any chance we could get an MD5 checksum? Sorry, I'm kind of crazy

Should work. WE, US and UK are pretty much the same devices except the 3G card. I'm just curious if this ROM works also on ROW.
Will test in the morning long day of college and work, need to sober up before I tackle this. Thanks for the Jelly Bean up date.
This ROM is running amazingly well. Everything I do, it does it fast and smoothly. Project Butter truly stands out here. Never has this tablet felt so buttery smooth.
I even installed Major Mayhem to try a game out and I feel like it ran better than the official ICS build (OTA3).
Google Now works. USB drive and mouse worked fine. Pen works fine in Lecture Notes and Quill. The pen button does not work in Quill though, pretty sure it has something to do with the way Quill detects the active pen. Sound works, video works as long as it is SD.
Other than that I'll leave you all with these screenshots.
Great job Koshu and thank you!

You have a ROW tablet? Please let me know if this works and if it doesn't (i assume it won't even boot in this case) send me a copy of your boot.img. As i didn't need to modify the kernel itself (compared to ICS with the HC kernel) we could just try to switch the kernels and see what happens.

Absolutely, feel free to share the pics. It is running super smooth I am absolutely loving it so far. Now I've got JB CM10 on both of my devices!
Also, I have noticed Chrome runs really great. About a thousand times better than ICS (OTA3). Gets a little slow sometimes with 15-20+ tabs but that is to be expected with our aged hardware.
Another note: I use CSipSimple, it allows me to use SIP in combination with a PBX server (Pbxes.org) for WiFi calling on my phone. I have never been able to get it to work with any Lenovo ROMs. Well it works on this ROM! I can now make/receive calls with my tablet using WiFi. I know many don't know or even care what this is, but just wanted to share my excitement.
Working well here too. Although I get cell phone indicator in my tray

Yeah I forgot to mention that. You need to enable Airplane mode and then enable WiFi. Although, because I use it on my phone as well, I've been using an app called AutoAP. It automatically enables airplane mode when using a saved WiFi network. For some reason it says it isn't compatible with our tablet in the Play Store. It is literally the only app I could find that wasn't "compatible". It works fine if you sideload it. Download here.
Since this and the few other issues being the GPS(it never worked anyway), HW acceleration for HD playback, and the light sensor I haven't found any reason for it to not be my daily driver.
Cheers.
Omg wow! I need to dig out my TPT!!
US 32GB TPT and loving Jelly Bean can't wait to see were this goes from here. Thanks for all the hard work with JB and CWM.

Awesome! HQ video decoding and recording! You are truly a gentleman. Cannot wait to try it out. When my school expenses subsides I'll be donating to you.
Also, you may link directly to the images using the imgur link if you want instead of linking to my post. http://imgur.com/a/r0Iq2 I could also embed them in the 2nd post if you would like.
EDIT: Build v0.2 seems to be fine. HQ videos do indeed work in YouTube. I was even able to get a 720p (mkv) encoded video streaming over WiFi. Works flawlessly (24fps).
Koshu, is there a foreseeable future for 3G in your CM10 builds for TPT?
I'm just curious if it's a hurdle you have hopes in clearing. I'm running a GOBI3000 and paying for a data plan that I'm trying to get the most out of.
BTW, I've got my TPT heading back for service and I'm crossing my fingers for an OTA 2.5 system upon return. Get my root back...

I think i try fixing 3G next as the other parts are more or less minor problems (gps more, lightsensor less). But i don't have a gobi card but an ericsson, so i will start with the ericsson card to get a grip on this and after the ericsson card is working we could give gobi gobi a try. But this includes a lot of testing and i will need someone with a gobi device to help me out.

Ah great, then lenovo finally uses a similar kernel for both devices, meaning i can play around with the kernel a bit (would like to add cifs and nfs support, maybe even overclocking some day).
How likely is it that we will be getting 4.2.1 Jellybean for our HD2, I mean Touchpad ?

yes i know but the problem is that the guys from classicnerd team they never fix the major problems like mic,hardware acceleration, camera
so the real question is when jcsullin release jelly bean 4.2.1 for touchpad

Probably in two weeks...
1. Please, let's not ask for ETAs from devs who donate their time.
2. Even jcsullins put out a pre-alpha CM10 before putting out a more full-featured one. Dev work takes time.
Exactly what kind of functionalities from JB 4.2 are you missing in 4.1 so you are asking for the upgraded version?
Let me tell you the new features in 4.2 and then you can tell me why you need it.
1. Camera app, 360 degrees pictures. Useless on Touchpad.
2. Lockscreen widgets - download any 3rd party app from Play Store.
3. Toggles in notification - added in CM, useless in tablet UI.
4. New Gmail app - download it.
5. New Clock app - download a 3rd party alternatives from Play Store.
6. Swype
7. Updated Google Now - update it from 4.2 gapps.
8. Daydream mode - doesn't work because the USB charge current is not enough to charge the tablet with screen on.
9. Multiuser support - do you even need it? Alternatives are available in the Play Store.

The new tablet ui with centralised softkeys and new notifications would be a great benefit
I can tell you this, teams are hard at work to bring 4.2 to the touchpad (I know of at least 2)
The thing with the touchpad is that it doesn't use standard code, it has to be heavily modified in order to work for the touchpad. This all takes lots of time that developers give, most of the time for free as not many people donate. It's coming patience is the key.

Slgihtly on a tangent, but this feels out of place on the ROM's post itself... it is a personal view, after all.
I'm hoping that the TP, if and when it gets internal storage (aka the USB drive partition) mount support on Android 4.2.x, has it mounted in such a way that the ROM doesn't move everything into a numbered folder (which is my pet peeve of 4.2 ROMs for, like, everything on Earth). I know it's nice to have separate storage for each user, but such a move would mess up (at least) webOS, Android recovery, and other versions of Android you may happen to be multibooting, not to mention "legacy" file-handling apps.
Multiuser support is really the main way that 4.2 is neat, but I have no use for it.
As for ETA's, friends don't let friends ask for them.
Hi guys,
anyone got an idea why it itsn't possible AT ALL with Android 4.4 to post a picture on Facebook or other sites that allow uploading content?
The maximum reaction i get out of it is "failure opening file",it just doesn't work with any browser (tried Dolphin,Chrome,Firefox,Stock)
This happens on every 4.4 based ROM somehow,can't thank you enough for any input about this matter
edit: 85 views and not a single "yeah,i face the same problem" or "no problem on my side at all",whats up with that
edit2: it tested every 4.4 ROM now,not only CM11&CyanFox.Nowhere is the upload working trough Browser

Google made changes in KitKat replacing webkit with chromium webview and broke file upload, text reflow, etc. Basically web browsing is awful in KitKat, Google is aware but won't revert the changes. The only workaround at present is to use Opera Beta, or Firefox nightlies, there are other browsers with file upload but I would not recommend them at all if you don't want spyware. CM just implemented some changes on last night's nightly to fix file upload, but it's done nothing for me so far, still broken. At least the CM team is aware and willing to fix things.

I'd blame developers just as much as Google though. I understand it makes sense for them to use a web engine that Android provides for free and save time and money, but this is what happens when Google breaks something, suddenly 90% of browsers are broken. Firefox uses its own gecko engine and thus is unaffected, Opera shows a bit of spirit and patches chromium to fix these things, on the other hand. And then most people use apps instead of a browser to do things, so if some of us protest, it's not relevant.
Anyway, know that there are lots of complaints over at AOSP, but Google's reply is that these changes are intended and won't be reverted, so that's that.
Edit : "From what I understand the following is what is broken in KitKat webview :"
• text wrap no longer works
• cannot upload files
• cannot save passwords
• cannot force enable zoom
• no inverted rendering
• cannot play Flash videos (broken in 4.3 too)
Woa,the rabbithole goes deeper & deeper.I thought this was a weird bug that just happens with custom ROMS of not officially supported devices but reading that it comes from Google (and they saying "deal with it") pushes this to a whole new level.

KitKat is such a kick in the ... for anyone developing on Android or just using it. Here's another jewel.
It looks like they're trying to restrict more and more things. The very reason many of us choose android over ios....

This whole KitKat issue transforms to a scandal of some sort.If Google doesn`t change its current course,we will be on full lockdown like iOS in 2 or 3 revisions (Android 6 for example).This roadmap doesn`t make me happy at all
