Locking orientation of Android devices to portrait or landscape only

I have experienced successful locking of Android orientation to portrait using the custom AndroidManifest.xml and putting the android:screenOrientation="portrait" in all activities. PROBLEM started when I recently upgraded to the ff specs: MAVERICKS, TI 3.2.3 GA, Android SDK 4.4.2 and later. Then on, nothing about orientation works afterwards. Has anyone experienced this before or maybe am just doing a code error. Please help. Here is my custom manifest code for reference:
