AngularJS: Angular UI Bootstrap, pass data from modal to controller - angularjs

Question

I have correctly setup my angular modal, now I want to pass my modal data back to my controller. I am using the below code.
First my controller calls my factory service that creates the modal popup:
$scope.mymodal = myService.openModal(data);
My service is as:
function openModal (data) {
var uData = null;
if (data) {
uData = {
userName : data.setName,
gender : data.gender
}
}
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'modal.html',
controller: 'ModalController',
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false,
resolve: {
data: function () {
return uData;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function () {
return;
}, function () {
});
return modalInstance;
}
See my jsfiddle here for this: http://jsfiddle.net/aman1981/z20yvbfx/17/
I want to pass name & gender that i select on my modal back to my controller, which then populates my page. Let me know what is missing here.

I updated AboutController, ModalController and myService with comments.
Main idea is return data from ModalController with close method. Fiddle
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router','ui.bootstrap']);
app.controller('IndexController', function($scope, $log) {
});
app.controller("AboutController", ['$location', '$state', '$scope', '$filter','myService', function($location, $state, $scope, $filter, myService) {
var data = "";
$scope.mymodal = myService.openModal(data);
// after modal is close, then this promise is resolve
$scope.mymodal.then(function(resp){
console.log(resp);
})
}]);
app.controller("ModalController", function($location, $state, $scope, $filter, $modalInstance) {
$scope.cancel = function () {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
$state.go('index');
};
$scope.done = function () {
// return data on close modal instance
$modalInstance.close({genger:$scope.gender,userName:$scope.userName});
};
});
app.factory('ApiFactory', function ($http) {
var factory = {};
return factory;
});
app.factory("myService",[ "$state", "$modal", "ApiFactory",
function ($state, $modal, factory) {
var service = {
openModal: openModal
};
function openModal (data) {
var uData = null;
if (data) {
uData = {
userName : data.setName,
gender : data.gender
}
}
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'modal.html',
controller: 'ModalController',
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false,
resolve: {
data: function () {
return uData;
}
}
});
// on close, return resp from modal
modalInstance.result.then(function (resp) {
return resp;
}, function () {
});
// return modal instance promise
return modalInstance.result;
}
return service;
}
]);
app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/index');
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url: '^/index',
templateUrl: 'index.html',
controller: "IndexController"
})
.state('about', {
url: '^/about',
templateUrl: 'about.html',
controller: "AboutController"
})
}]);
