Root EVO Design 4G in this Section/Sub-Forum?

I "rooted" around in this section for a bit to see what I could find in regards to this phone as I just got it tonight...

Problem is, I am not certain and did not find a definitive answer to whether I should use any root guides or roms listed in the subforum with this actual phone. I saw where people made random posts about the Design 4G but the root guides and such date back before this phone was (or version of the phone) was released.

More simply, do I refer to this section and is it all safe...

Android Forums > Android Phones > HTC EVO Design

...for a HTC EVO Design 4G phone? Or do I need to wait for such a subforum specific to this phone as it is not yet "listed"?

Thanks again!

I unlocked, added CWM, [Rom] Kingdom Ics xFuZiionZz-4.3.2 (Updated 8/7/12), and [ICS] Kingdom FastKernel V5 (8/28/2012).

As of now I am blazing along! On a side note, the phone itself was not slow before BUT I can tell a difference and improvement over the way it was. I hate having all that boost add on crap as well and glad to see it gone!

As far as it being a ghost town in here...I expect it to become more active as the price on the phone has dropped and is now only slightly more expensive than the LG Venice. Consider the fact that the Venice has a 1GHz processor, is only 3G, lower camera resolution, etc., for me it was a no brainer for the $20 difference...
