Default accelerometer / gensor [SOLVED]

cant get this to work properly in games, tried a few ROM versions and still no joy. Before anyone jumps all over me I have tried the performance fix, did feck all.

It could be the ROM combination I am using. Can anyone list their ROM combinations who actually have it working in say, raging thunder.

Ie, ROM modaco v8 - firmware 1.8

it's not a ROM problem.
it's a hardware problem.

the accelerometer used on the vega is really really crap and it's only good to rotate apps orientation.
I only play on the vega games that doesn't need the sensor such as angry birds, gun bros, air attack.

I checked the video and really doesn't seem to really fix that much.
Anyway, it's for modaco-r6, I'm running on stock.v1.09+add.on.

Talking [FIX] Accelerometer

I have also found the accelerometer issues to be annoying. i have just started running the CM7 HC tweaks from Mad Murdoch, (Nightly ROm on 5/5/11) and so far the accelerometer is working perfectly.
I will update later with a list of accelerometer games known to work once I get home and download some more.

Edit:

Jet car stunts
raging thunder
speedex 3d

All working fine with cm7 ttrc2, but ROM is generally too laggy to use daily.

Come oncm7, get stable so we can start trying the new tegra optimised games!

DONATE TO ME
This was very much a software issue, not hardware.

At the moment if you want to experience a proper working accelerometer on the vega flash mad_murdoch's cm7.

We are working on porting it to stock roms.
