MIUI and tango on evo 4g

Hello, haven't posted in a while. Just wondering if Tango video chat works with MIUI. I'm currently running MIUI 1.10.14 on my evo and can't seem to get the front facing camera to work; it keeps showing me a green screen. I've search this forum for the last couple of hours to see if this questions has come up but with no luck. If there is anyone out there that may know where to point me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch guys!

I could be mistaken, but I don't think MIUI supports the front camera.

Thanks for such a quick response. Would that be just on video chat? The reason asked is because when I take pictures the front camera works just fine. Just curious, I really appreciate your help, I'll continue to search and thanks again.

proof is in the pudding...
when you update make sure you wipe the cache and dalvik cache or whatever it is called, that's all i ever wipe. a lot of people would recommend a full wipe with the clean install. it cuts down on the glitches.

YES YES and Maybe..
Yes, the front facing camera is supported, I'm tired of hearing ppl say it isn't. All you need to do is adjust the resolution of the camera and it works fine, although within apps it won't allow you to change the resolution, so I would say maybe it does work, maybe it doesn't. Worth a shot.

Is this not a thing yet? (Front facing camera via mirror attachment)

I was wondering if I can get something like this anywhere?:

It's a simple enough concept, why haven't I seem this anywhere and where would I be able to get one?
But I can't get just any attachment, I need one that fits my phone, which is a G2.
My Question: Is there an adjustable version of this? one that will fit onto an phone and can be adjusted to work with most?

I've been wondering this for over a year now.

I don't see why not. It doesn't seem like a difficult or expensive concept by any means.

Just thought of something:
what about a micro-usb camera that can be plugged into the phone and used as a front facing camera? is that even possible on android?

That's an interesting concept.
Do you have a link to this product?

Did you READ the OP, or ANY of the following posts?
We're not even sure if such a product exists...that's what we've been talking about!

Is this a real product or not???
Where did that picture come from???
Or, Is that a nice Photoshop job???
Thanks

Click this link!!! OneMoreFace!!!
And then check the second link on the list!!!
It is a nice PS job!!!
You're welcome

well the idea is great. Looks possible and should be expensive but I think it will require some software which uses the back camera while video call (don't know if it already exists or not though it shouldn't be hard on an andriod). I have not seen this or anything similar for sale as of now.

This sounds like a job for a 3d printing hobbyist!
If people are interested and willing to fund development (can't be more than $30 per prototype print), I would be willing to create a 3d-printable universal version.
I already have a project that is somewhat similar (creating a universal accessory to expand the functionality of your phone) to get an idea of what I am capable of, see it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476571
What I would need from you guys is ideas about what kind of mirrors could be used. They would have to be readily available to nearly everybody and easily fitted into the holder. The plan is likely going to be, you can order the 3d-printed project from a 3d printing service, then either go to your local store or some sort of online store and get the mirrors separately.

that seems like a pretty good idea but then you would have to carry around a fragile mirror.

Question about notification light area

The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?
this is what the new one looks like

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.

I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.

another defect i suppose

I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I realize its different but if it works fine then is it really a "defect"?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!

BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

Day one with my S3

I've never loved a device so much. I think...I think i'm in love. From the gorgeous screen, to the amazing NFC...to the fact that google just randomly gave me 10$...to the ease of use of the toolkit in the dev section, the simplicity of rooting...the BUTTER smooth interface...its just...its just...ITS JUST TOO MUCH!

cool story bro.

You need a pic with that comment.

did you have to add a prepaid card to get the $10 or just activating activating google wallet?

Yeah, I loved it when google gave me $10 free for google wallet. I got like 6 sodas from a paypass enabled vending machine after that lol.

i mean, i guess my point is...Out of all the android phones i've upgraded to, this one seems the farthest in terms of difference from one to the next. Its just so much better in so many little ways.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?

GNex won the TIPA award.

Not sure if this has been posted, but our Galaxy Nexus sits on the same pantheon as the acclaimed Leica M9, Canon 1dx, 5d3 and Nikon d800 cameras.

Strange since everyone complains about the camera.

I don't complain about the camera, bests my old Thunderbolt's 8MP shooter.

not me, im constantly trying to show people that its an awesome camera. people just dont know how to use it. they expect the camera to do all the work for them, but it only does what you tell it to do. plus its really important to keep that back lens cover smudge free.

As per the above poster, I also love the GNex camera. It takes some getting used to but it takes better pictures than pretty much any other camera on a phone I have ever seen.

Very nice pics. I personally don't have an opinion, my eyes are not the best, and I've never had a good eye for capturing photography myself. I just use the camera casually and it works fine for me. What I meant was the general consensus on the camera is that it is poor, that is what the websites and reviews and even users all complain about. It may just be a common misconception, but it's widely the accepted view, accurate or not.

Not better than my SGN. I am still pleased i didnt go for gnex and opted a note last year.

TIPA didn't evaluate image quality only, but the whole pack of good screen, zero-lag shutter, 1080p recording and some other goodies.
TIPA meeting was on 24th March 2012, so it's understandable why they choose Galaxy Nexus.

All I can say about the camera is, its the only camera that can take colour accurate images of my coral reef aquarium. I've tried several cameras and other phones and its way off. Mind you I've learned the best settings for that application is simply changing it to cloudy.
