Gyroscope Sensor Calibration in CM11

I seem to be having a problem with the Gyroscope Sensor on my phone. I recently flashed CM11 (which is great btw) and noticed that when turning the phone on its side the screen doesn't rotate until I go about another 45deg. To test things I downloaded Android Sensor Box. On the Gyroscope Sensor it seems to be registering 45deg for every 90deg of rotation, so turning the phone upside down (180deg) only rotates the box 90deg. This isn't a huge problem, but it is annoying and I can't find any apps that calibrate at the system level. I found and tried a few Terminal commands, but they didn't help either. Just hoping someone on here had some advice/experience.

I will say now that I enabled all 4 orientations in the CM settings.
 
All orientations work, that's not the problem. The problem is the gyroscope tracking. I did a little experimenting and installed PACMAN 4.4.2 (it just booted to a black screen with notification bar for some reason), then put CM11 on top of it. Screen rotation is working better, but using panorama or photospere mode in the camera is next impossible...I rotate the camera horizontal and the viewport on screen moves vertical. This is after installing the camera from here.

I tried that 'figure eight' calibration too, and it does no good.
 
Can you try it with another custom rom other than pacman . pacman is known problems with many of its builds . .
 
Well, I'm no longer using this phone so it's back on stock software do I can sell it. Got the LG Volt, and not regretting it at all. :)
