This is partial content, which sets title to partial...
<div ng:init="$root.pageTitle = 'partial'"></div>

I used $rootScope.page_title = $route.current.title;
without the extra $route after current otherwise i got error title not defined.
But otherwise thanks for the tip definitely clean.

@abourget With your solution it gets "broken" when you wirte directly in your browser any different to "/" route, you can check it in your console ( chrome ):

var app= angular.module( 'myApp', [] )
.config( function( $routeProvider ){

    $routeProvider.when('/', {
        title: "Access",
        templateUrl: 'partials/login.html',
    });

    $routeProvider.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });

})
.run( [ '$location', '$rootScope', function( $location, $rootScope ){

    $rootScope.$on( '$routeChangeSuccess', function( event, current, previous ){
        //console.log( current.$$route.title );
        $rootScope.title= _.isUndefined( current.$$route.title ) ? 'MyApp' : current.$$route.title;
    });

}]);

Currently I'm using other "work-around" to this, is less fancy but works under any use case:

var app= angular.module( 'myApp', [] )
.config( function( $routeProvider ){

    $routeProvider.when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/login.html',
        controller: function( $location, $rootScope ){
            $rootScope.title= 'Acceso';
        }

    });

    $routeProvider.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });

});

HTML side:

<title>{{ title }}</title>

This doesn't seem to work for Internet Explorer 8, I had to resort to setting $window.document.title from my controller.
