My auto-rotation stopped working stopped working when I was on Midnight ROM, thought when I updated to GB28 it would be fixed. Have read in forums that this is fairly common, but tried many different things to fix, none of which worked? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Midnight didn't cause this. Didn't mean to make it sound like that

I ran into that issue in one of the roms as well. In that rom there was a checkbox to use calibrated values, or something to that effect. When I unchecked it, auto-rotate started working again. (I did calibrate my phone but for some reason I still had to uncheck it)

Resolved the issue with the rotation. With the help of an XDA member (dev for Magic Unicorn ROM), he had me flash an old version of CM10 which has the gyro sensor calibration tool. I flashed it, enabled the Use calibration values, calibrated the Gyro, then confirmed that it's working in the apps, then disabled the "Use Calibration Values", factory wiped and flashed the ROM of my choice and voila, rotation is working!
