using sensor kinetics app to compare accelerometer and magnetic field sensors 
against a second galaxy ace running stock ROM gives the following results.

accelerometer x, y and z - all correct
magnetic field y - correct
magnetic field x and z - values inverted i.e. negative and positive values 
swapped.  results do appear to be in correct channel.

Have a similar problem. Using 1/4/2013 update of jellaxy cm10.
The compass has switched east with west and calibration with gps status or 
drawing the figure 8 has no effect.
