Here is my default.txt. It's been the only one that works for me, but I have Verizon and an XV6800 version.

-----START-----

set MTYPE 1463
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "ppp.username=IT ppp.password=IT msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htctitan.panel_type=0 fbcon=rotate:3 mddi.width=300 mddi.height=400"
boot

-----END-----

Well after putting all the files on an SDHC card as opposed to regular MicroSD, it finally booted. Except now it's stuck looping the glowing Android logo. Is there any way to enable verbose mode?

From what I've read, if you have an SDHC card, you must put only two files on the card (data.img, system.img), and the rest of the files in a directory ON the device itself (I put mine in a My Docs > Android folder). Then boot haret.exe from that folder on the device.

BTW all im working on the cupcake update soon, although my phone is broken i have to use a razr temporarily.

Man, I've been waiting for someone to get cupcake working on the Titan! Do you need any help? Sorry you're forced back to a razr!! I HATED mine

Been trying to get Android to work all morning

Had problems with my regular 2gb MSD but it seems it can boot my 8gb mSD card
Got past the SD mounting problem and now this

Mount: mounting/dev/block/loop0 on /data failed: Invalid argument
Failed
Failed to mount /data
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Did you extract data.gz? Extract that, rename the extracted file to data.img, and put that in the root of your SD card. Also, where did you get the version of Android that you are trying to use?

The only version that has worked for me is the version thevoicewithin posted a few pages back.. post 422 http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=422

Well I got it working

Dunno how but i did.

Soooo

Everything seems to work fine. Can't wait for some more development on this!

I'm using:
http://magister.ipsys.net/projects/android-for-titan/

Now, how do I get the onscreen keyboard to come up?
That would make it easier punching in numbers on contacts, since the keyboard seems to have the numbers randomly placed across it.

I'd like to ask once more - has anyone found a good place to get apps for the android?
