Android with Shortcut

This cab only creates a shortcut in start menu to haret located in root of storage card, for those with android already on storage card.
Android Shortcut Only

awesome, exactly what i was looking for. I already have it set up, so i'll definitely try the shortcut only cab! And YES you should start making cabs for latest releases, it would help a lot of noobs out that don't realize where to put the files and which to grab. People already like the zipped up files that someone else does, so a cab would be even better cause it has a shortcut. I think that's a bonus for the gsm tp2 thread at xda. People shout cab and everyone flocks ha. Hell, even i'd download it if it came out before i saw the new release.

I have placed all the android files from flyers zip into a folder named "Androidfs" on the root of my SD card.

I added rel_path=Androidfs to the startup.txt file in the "Androidfs" fil before the last set of quotes and I am getting an error when trying to load haret saying rel_path is invalid key.

Anyone able to help? besides saying put the files on the root of the sd.

Thanks!

did you remove your sim card

MrPippy, I think we should add the following text to post 1 (in BIG RED LETTERS on top):

NOTE: IF YOUR PHONE CURRENTLY HAS A SIM CARD IN THE GSM SLOT, REMOVE IT BEFORE BOOTING ANDROID IF YOU WANT DATA. Some users have reported successful data even with the SIM card in, but it is highly recommended that you remove it, especially the first time.

^I think that would solve a great portion of the questions in this thread!

Then cut the rootfs.img file from the andboot folder and paste it to the root of the storage card and leave the rest of the files in the andboot folder. Then run haret
