Hi I'm on the latest cm7 nightly (8211618) and I noticed that the accelerometer/compass might be badly calibrated. On apps that do pre-calibration (i.e speedx, gps status, labyrinth, etc.) Everything works fine, but when I run apps that don't have any calibration options (i,e, noogra nuts, lane splitter, riptide gp, etc.) the accelerometer/compass (don't know which one exactly) doesn't seem to respond quite well (noogra nuts - the squirrel always goes left , even when put on a flat surface, riptide gp - jetski steers left). I can't post in the dev thread but hopefully someone will try to recreate this issue or help me out with a fix.

Thanks!

For my Defy manual calibration works well - I have to do it permanently because my handy bag has a magnetic lock >.< ...
Hold the Defy horizontally in move it in shapes of an 8 some times.
Sounds weird, I know - didn't want to believe it as well when I first read it.

thanks for the replies, unfortunately still no proper calibration for me. Lane splitter calibration only works for the first round, if you die and start over, motorcycle starts leaning to the right. I recently installed NFS shift and this game also suffers from this (keeps steering to the left). Maybe my compass is just already fudged up I guess
