3. Download kernel : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCWTF2bUZtLXJSVFcwRVUwVUNIYndQZw
4. Download gapps7.1 : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCMTY3OWE3NzgtMGMyMS00MWVjLWI3OTMtZDEwNDY1ZDFkY2Zl (don't complain if you use another gapps version and your calendar sync doesn't works)
5. Download MULTI-CSC : LINK REMOVED - it causes the loss of root permissions (use only for samsung keyboard "null null" issue)
6. Do a nandroid backup of your actual situation (People actually on ICS rom, MIDNOTE2.0 included, must flash abyss3.9 kernel (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCY2EyNGRhMTctODE2MC00MDU4LWE2MjgtYjRmM2RmMmEwM2Zh), reboot kernel and go back to Gingerbread, like said before, because (I repeat) STARTING BASE MUST BE GINGERBREAD WITH FULL ROOT
7. Open mobile Odin and select "open file", then select "step 2" tar file. Now select "kernel", then select "step 3" tar file, verify that ALL (enable everoot, inject superuser, inject mobile Odin) are checked, then check also "wipe data and cache". Now press "flash firmware" and answer "yes" on md5 verify.....(Odin PC causes increase of the counter, and I'm not directly experienced a flash with it, so please, don't complain on the forum if you don't want to use mobile Odin)
8. After the flash, you will be in CWM recovery, do a reboot, then wait some minutes to build the caches, ONLY FIRST TIME you will see statusbar only. Now long press power button, then select "reboot" and WAIT TILL YOU WILL BE AGAIN IN FULL WORKING SYSTEM
9. You're not yet on MIDNOTE2.1, now you have to download the real customization zip from here : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCTl9SUVBxQTFTaUtyUU8zQUZ4dmZFUQ VERY IMPORTANT STEP : VERIFY IF mobile Odin obtain correctly root permission
10. Reboot in CWM recovery, then flash gapps7.1 (step 4 zip file), reboot and configure your google account using chinese keyboard
11. Now verify MD5 of "step 9" zip file : b442d6e1f809ffad9ebf0475e2a93ed1. Only if correct, reboot again in CWM recovery and flash it
12. Now you are in MIDNOTE2.1 read below my recommendations :
- Use apex launcher (embedded in 2.1 rom), best ICS experience
- Use App Quarantine (in the app drawer), to easily freeze all the apps that you don't need (chinese or samsung), I preferred to leave the complete rom because there are many Chinese users that use MIDNOTE..
- Make a home shortcut to "quick settings", and use it to set "sound + vibrate", verify if it works correctly, then from now on you will not miss notifications..
- You will find "note everything", very nice app to makes all kind of notes
- Use "not call log" (in the app drawer) to fast switch to home after a call
- Use N7player for music (in the app drawer), best app and related widget (for my opinion)
- Use Sygic (free version in app drawer), best ICS compatible navigation program
- You can find also ICS Keyboard, try it, it's a very nice keyboard
- Freeze S-planner if you don't want to see doubled calendar events notifications
- You can use CWM recovery to flash zip files and do nandroid backups, BUT DON'T USE IT TO RESTORE ANY KIND OF BACKUPS (GB OR ICS), OR TO WIPE DATA, IT DOESN'T WORK and causes bootloop and lost of root permissions, so if you need to go back to GB, use redpill recovery from abyss3.9 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22758543&postcount=6). If you need, you CAN restore (from redpill recovery of course) also ICS nandroid backup, but remember, after that, you will not be able to delete files from system directory
- and now.......THE CHANGELOG :
A. fixed random SOD of 2.0 (thanks to LB2 modem)
B. fixed random reboot, but the "tradeoff" is the return of "android apps optimization" every reboot
C. fixed all contacts app various problems
D. fixed lots of full root related problems, now you HAVE full full full root..
E. fixed Samsung keyboard, now it's fully working like GB one (only english language)
F. fixed stock video player with all kind of video formats
G. nice "Armani" fonts
H. fixed stock internet browser, no more "black on black" address bar (but you can find also ICSbrowser+ in app drawer)
I. native call recording using stock dialer
L. real ICS themed, with more readable icons and no "double arrows"
M. torch widget works fine with three steps
.
.
Z. still works in progress for "Google locations" and battery % in display settings, on my Note I have it perfectly working (see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24143667&postcount=1154), but this morning a member of an Italian forum warned me that not worked for him, so I decided to publish the ROM with the settings "unmodified". I need more testing time for it... (Thanks to "lukemo" of Telefonino.net forum for the advise)
VERY IMPORTANT ADVISE : as usual, I don't want donations, but this morning I decided to devote MIDNOTE2.1 hard work to my parents ("B&G" are the initials of their names), both died of cancer, so.........if you want to give a donation, please follow this link : https://www.airc.it/aiutare-la-ricerca/donazione-online.asp

Thankyou maxicet for your excellent work!!!
Installed it a few hours ago and so far all is working.
Fastest and solide ROM for daily use for me.
Only the theme is a bit low contrast, many of input boxes are barelly visible.
Please, disable WiFi if want to use GPS.
CoPilot crashes if WiFi is enabled.
For me the fastest ROM for now, only light bugs and i hope our great dev will eliminate it soon.
Contacts need a bit more work, the displayed name is wrong on call, thats only bug.
Thakyou for the "Italian quality" ROM its really the best now.
Great please can you write what doesn't works?

Massimo,
Theme looks great. Hope you are finding the ICS leak more useful than I am. I got your PM, but I'm really still just using GB and waiting for a new CM9 build.
Regarding your PNG issues, I would inspect the original apk and make sure the image pixel sizes of the themed replacement matches.

Svox tts
Is the svox problem fixed? Anyone tried ?
@all
managed to figure out whats wrong with dialer and contacts.
If the phonenumber of person calling you, is saved with international prefix, e.g. 0041xxx or +41xxx, in your contacts, than you see only the phonenumber from the caller but there is NO ASSOCIATION with your contacts. And on display you should see "HunagdeHuongGong" as caller name and his phonenumber, WITHOUT international prefix.
For Switzerland is international prefix 0041xxx or +41xxx.
For inlandcalls i use the 044xxx for Zürich region.
So i have a phonenumber like this 00 41 44 xxx saved in my contacts, the callerID displayed is only 044xxx and the phone dont find any contact with matching number to display the name.
Dont know how its for another country, but this causes the crash from dialer and contacts in Switzerland and Europe, with prefix 00xxx or + als leader.
I changed the phonenumbers of my contacts to only reginal prefix and the callerID works flawless, the callername is proper displayed on screen.
Hope any dev can fix this issue.
I think thats wrong because the leak is from China and there are different callerID and prefix managments.

After a new wipe and installation there is no correction. Also with USB connection my phone wasnt found by windows.
@ziko
Did you try the other ICS leak for Europe market? Was there no problem with contacts? Could you try if the problem exists with the contacts apk from european release? If you don't have it I can upload it.

I have flashed all ICS ROMs available on XDA.

There is no problem, i will try your contacts apk
GO Dialer EX and GO Contacts EX works, only the stock ones are faulty...
