As far as I know, it's really just an advanced accelerometer & they called it a gyroscope.

Can this be done with a compass / tilt combo?

Some android devices definitely have a gyroscope, such as the Galaxy Tab. To get access to it, and the compass, and any other android sensor the easiest way is to write a Java plugin and utilize the AndroidJNI classes (AndroidJavaClass and AndroidJavaObject as well).

Prefrontal Cortex has such a plugin in the asset store, which provides access to all sensors Android has to offer.
