--------------------------------------------------------

I'm still able to reproduce this on Android 4.2 with cordova 3.4.0-0.1.3.

Maybe it's a bug in the docs, but I have {{<preference name="Orientation" value="portrait" />}} in my config.xml and it's still reorienting to landscape when I move the phone around.

> The docs say that an Orientation preference is supposed to work across all platforms.  However, Android's activities can only be locked to an orientation by modifying the AndroidManifest.xml. 
> To get past this, we either change the docs, or we support this in the CLI.  I feel that adding an XML parser to the scripts is complete overkill, since we don't have any tests for our platform scripts, and I personally think they're a giant pile of technical debt.
