Devise sign up AJAX not working - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to setup a registration form using devise and AJAX.
On a newly generated app it works perfectly but when I try and add it to a project, I do not have success
registration controller
https://gist.github.com/mosinski/8568126
my partial form:
https://gist.github.com/mosinski/8577429
my application.js:
https://gist.github.com/mosinski/8577480
my inicializer:
https://gist.github.com/mosinski/8577533
my application helper:

my form is partial in bootstrap modal.
The whole problem is that it not sending as js but as text/html why ?! ;]

1. Routes
Have you declared the custom controllers in your routes.rb file?
#config/routes.rb
devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: "sessions", registrations: "registrations" }
2. Forms
Are you sure you're sending the request from your partial form?
Devise generates its own views (which you can typically find at /views/devise). If you're using the standard Devise forms, you'll be sending standard HTML mime-types, and so you'll have to ensure you're using your partial
That's all I can glean from your code currently! Of course we can discuss any fixes in the comments
Update
Here's our working registrations controller:
class RegistrationsController < DeviseController
prepend_before_filter :require_no_authentication, :only => [ :new, :create, :cancel ]
prepend_before_filter :authenticate_scope!, :only => [:edit, :update, :destroy]
before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters
prepend_view_path 'app/views/devise'
# GET /resource/sign_up
def new
build_resource({})
respond_with self.resource
end
# POST /resource
def create
build_resource(sign_up_params)
if resource.save
if resource.active_for_authentication?
set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_navigational_format?
sign_up(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
else
set_flash_message :notice, :"signed_up_but_#{resource.inactive_message}" if is_navigational_format?
expire_session_data_after_sign_in!
respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
end
else

respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :json => resource.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
format.html { respond_with resource }
end
end

# We need to use a copy of the resource because we don't want to change
# the current user in place.

if is_navigational_format?
flash_key = update_needs_confirmation?(resource, prev_unconfirmed_email) ?
:update_needs_confirmation : :updated

end
sign_in resource_name, resource, :bypass => true
respond_with resource, :location => after_update_path_for(resource)
