Root MidnightRom: Jellybean [MOVED]

That should be fine. 1.57/1.58 will not work. I'm always on 1.04...but I assume 1.5 should be alright as well.

Edit:

beta 2 flashed. So far, smooth. Incredibly smooth. I Just need to replace a few apps for personal preference...but I'm gonna give it a whirl for a few hours, do some heavy testing, and see what I can do.

Woops I'm running Midnight 1.4.9 so it requires a hboot 1.58 or 1.57
Which I want to point out will not boot this ROM but hboot 1.50 will.

So to switch back and forth you need to install the correct hboot.
I see that people have a hard time understanding this. Want to expose it now before this ROM is out and about.

I think that issue of requiring 1.57+ was fixed for Midnight ICS.

Which version of hboot?
Using 1.50.5050 does it need 1.04 eng?

I was using slimbean with v1.1 and hboot 1.04 and had reboot problems. I always had to do a battery pull it seemed like to complete reboot. I loved slimbean. best rom i have ever used, but i couldnt deal with the reboot issue. It would also reboot at times if i connected it to my pc and turned on usb storage. That was the biggest problem that pushed my back to midnight rom senseless. I couldnt have it rebooting everytime i tried to access the sd card.

Since this is based on slim bean v1.1, i am guessing its just the same problem. Hopefully DakMan can figure it out. Awesome, awesome rom. I loved the audio on it

So I put back on JBear 1.50.5050 ( source http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1466020&d=1352361986 ) and was able to boot midnight 1.4.9 as stated. Please note that when putting on a new hboot you will need to clear/format cache/dalvik for TWRP 2.3.3 to work properly. But phone does not boot loop! Thanks for the heads up!

Background reading on hboot please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513 thanks to ramjet73 for his hard work on this topic!

Tell me if there are any bugs.

I'm working on a new version already, fixing around a few things. So if ANYTHING doesn't seem right, tell me!

Hi, great ROM!
I just flashed it and it works smooth, the only issue I'm seeing is the Music search function force closes when I look for a song, ( not sure if it's just me) other than that it works nice. :)
Thank you for all the work. :)

I'll look into it ^_^


Post some screen shot.!
^_^ I will
Awwww, what happened to the cool keyboard? Was that a Sense thing from Midnight 14x?
Also when will you start pushing this via goo.im app? I loved the way it told me there was a new version to test!

Yush, it will! And it should already be on the goo.im. This is just the first version that's out. The next will show up ^_^
