Cordova Screen Orientation Plugin breaks disabling Android hardware back button

cordova-plugin-screen-orientation version 2.0.0 breaks disabling the Android hardware backbutton by javascript code (for example: document.addEventListener("backbutton", function(){}, false); ) . It seems the code is simply ignored and the hardware backbutton works. Reverting to version 1.4.2 solves the problem again and the javascript code does its job so the hardware backbutton is disabled as expected.
