The Compass definitely works...

Compared it to 5 compasses at LL Bean... It's Dead On... Bingo

True mark of a good project leader.. Thanking the team. If you notice how Wizard makes sure to give credit to folks who've helped even in the text when his zips are flashing. A real class act I say.

I found solution. Orientation calculations are done by service `akmd2` (/system/bin/akmd2). This service (in MIUI) makes wrong assumptions about magnetic sensor orientation. Looks like this binary is taken from different phone. So you need to use akmd2 from stock ROM or from Liberty ROM.

I am using akmd2 from Liberty ROM. Compass and Google Maps are working perfect, but there are problems with AR applications like Google Sky Map.
Maybe stock version will be work better, but I deleted backup with stock ROM And I has no time to install SBF, root again, install Clockwork, etc..
So I will be grateful if someone will upload stock akmd2.

@lorc, just want to say thank you for finding this!

Lol, I'm just now reading through the rest of the thread. I just think credit should go to the folks who deserve it. I appreciate the kind words though. If it wasn't for the great community, we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are.
