The following needs to be on your SD card:
QuantumRomv2.5.zip
midNIGHT_v2.3EXT4
prepare.zip and KERN-DK28EXT4.zip from the OneClickEXT4.v1.2 folder
On your PC you need to have:
Odin
SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5
SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar
OneClickEXT4.v1.2 (folder)
One Click Root v2.5.5 (folder)
1- Odin to DI18 with SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 and allow it to boot all the way up.
2- Odin to DK28 with SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar and allow it to boot all the way up.
3- Go to Settings > Applications > Development > and check USB Debugging. Connect phone to PC with USB cable.
4- Open the "one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5" folder, and open the "Run.bat" file.
3- The phone will reboot into a now rooted stock DK28.
4- Use the 4-button push method (press and hold Volume Up, Volume Down, Camera and Power buttons all at once) and reboot into Clockwork. Flash Quantum Rom 2.5, and then reboot. It should get stuck at the Samsung screen. Pull the battery and boot back into clockwork.
5- Flash the prepare.zip file, do not reboot yet.
6- Go to Advanced, and select "Reboot Recovery".
7- The phone should reboot into clockwork with the version ending in .2 not .0. Plug in the USB cable and run the "install-ext4.bat" file in the OneClickEXT4.v1.2 folder. Do not reboot yet.
8- Reflash the QuantumRom2.5.zip file. Do not reboot yet.
9- Flash the KERN-DK28EXT4.zip file.
10- Reboot the phone, you should now be in a working Quantom Rom with EXT4 enabled.
11- Go to Market and download QuickBoot.
12- Run Quick Boot and select Recovery to boot back into Clockwork.
13- This should put you back in clockwork version ending in .2 not .0. Wipe Data 3 times, then Cache 3 Times, then Dalvick 3 times.
14- Flash midNIGHT v2.3EXT4.zip. Do not reboot.
15- Re-flash the KERN-DK28EXT4.zip file.
16- Reboot, and you have a working midnight ROM.
I've seen other methods but I can confirm that this one works. Now I am pretty sure that steps 1 and 15 weren't necessary but I was following someone else's instructions (Thanks a ton BZ5 for that!). My install went perfectly and I have not had a single FC or problem. Oh, and my battery life is AWESOME!
My 2 cents.

I think the Midnight Ext4 rom has the recovery and the kernel built in. Not necessary to flash Quantum in other words. I didn't anyway and it works for me.
Edit: I went back and checked to make sure. The kernel is indeed included in the rom. Much easier and faster. The formatter zip also makes it much easier if a bit longer.
