I did not mention this in the opening post, since i didn't know if this problem did appear on all installations or if it was simply my phone which didn't work well.
So, if you update, give some feedback to the forum, so that others now if everything is working.

@matemana

Glad everything is working now Could you please report back after you OTA if everything works as expected?

Do you have the files in /persist/sensors?
What does 'devel-su systemctl status sensorfwd.service' say?
I think my report will simply not be true for others. It's something with my phone being not normal. Since i checked GPS and it did not work too and that systemctl sensorsfd command gave that it did not find sensors. I found that some files related to sensors are on that /persist partition. I do not know how to fix that. Tried your link and found one other but it did not work. It simply removes all the files i put in /persist after reboot.

Now i installed the original android nexus 5 came with 4.4 and i have the same issue with mac address changing on every reboot. /persist is empty there are no files. Here is ls

Code:
~ # cd persist/
/persist # ls
/persist # ls -la

__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT!

drwxr-xr-x   24 root     root             0 Jan  4  1970 ..
But rotation does work and other sensors too! I do not know what to do else...

I did not have these issues on this phone when 2.0.4.13 was the latest version for it. I do not blame newer image i just said when i did not have these problems

P.S. boy android 4.4 is fast it boots in 17 seconds
