The current APIs we use are deprecated/always return 0 since the orientation is fixed for main activity. The rationale behind using accelerometer to reliably calculate orientation is that gravity constantly has small impacts on the accelerometer causing it to continuously generate new values on a real device.
Indirectly fixes the issue described in #534 by only relying on sensor data to calculate orientation
