Compass orientation off in new GMaps? - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Ever since updating Google Maps to the new version with the new UI, compass orientation is always wacky while in 3D mode. See the screenshot below to see what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looked like immediately after tapping the location button twice. Even worse, the map doesn't even pan in the direction the dot is facing half the time, but instead moves in the opposite direction.
This doesn't seem to be a problem while in navigation mode, but it is nonetheless annoying.
Apologize if someone already posted about this but I couldn't find one. I've only tested on Rootbox, but I've used many ROMs in the past and in my experience that has never made a difference.

Yep you are correct, mine has been the same. For example completing a whole roundabout before we even get there. Moving to a field even though we're on a marked road. Moving sideways whilst driving forward. Very weird!

[Q] Wallpaper of Cliff overlooking Blue Sea

I've seen this wallpaper in roms lately and it's been bugging me. It's a top-down view of a blue sea. It has about the same color as the one below. And there's a little bit of the cliff showing at the bottom with a small seagull to the right, I think. I think it's also on Deck's ICS rom, but I'm not sure since I went through about 5 roms today.

If anyone can help, that'd be great!
Unzip those ROMS and look at the wallpapers in them until you find that one
Well....
I flashed Deck's 1.3 Stable and voila it's the wallpaper that's being displayed ....except that I accidentally switched and now I can't find it anywhere. I looked through the galleries and the .zip but I still can't find it.....
If it is the wallpaper that comes with the ROM, then it's in there, trust me. When I get home, I can look for you

Zakynthos
I checked it out on Google Goggles and that beach is an area of Zakynthos. There's a ton of variations of the same image, so I'm not particularly sure which one you might be looking for. If you do an image search for Zakynthos, I'm sure you'll find it.

Uninstall the app, reboot the phone, download the app again, sign in and see if the cures it.

Screen issues on galaxy s3

Hello all!
I've had my s3 for 2 years now and about a week ago, I noticed that the screen has horizontal lines and the overall quality of the display is poor and fuzzy to where you cannot read text. If the background has black in it, it will show up with a green tint. If I don't turn on the display for a while, it will correct itself for a few seconds then the issue will start halfway up the screen and work it's way to the top. I took it to sprint to have a tech look at it, but he just dismissed me and told me I must have dropped it (I haven't ) and said I'll need to go through insurance..I've managed to take a picture of the issue to show the difference. If anyone knows of a fix that doesn't require a whole new display, I would be very grateful! Thank y'all

Youtube problem

Hello, sometimes when I swipe down a video it doesn't work. Another problem are the buttons which aren't at their place. I made 2 screenshots where you can see exactly the problems. The phone I'm using is an HTC 10 with Android Oreo, latest patches. Does anybody know a solution or could google launch a update? Is anyone having the same problem?

Yes, same issue here.
- Somtimes buttons don't want to disappear
- Exiting full screen by pressing back button leaves a big grey part in the app
Going back to the stock youtube app fixes it, so... a bug in the youtube app?
Same problem.
Same problem too....
Hello. Im experiencing same problem. I have gone back to youtube stock but the problem is still there.
Same problem here. Also when I turn the phone sideways it doesn't always show the full length scrub bar. It ends up in the top left corner. Still using the stock app, but Youtube bugs me to update it now.
