The ROM is installed at your own risk, as I take no risk if your phone breaks, or even if dragons pop up from your phone and eat you xP.(But nothing bad should happen :D)

Flashing
You must flash PH98IMG.zip before you boot into the ROM (I prefer you flash the PH98IMG.zip before flashing the ROM, but it doesn't matter as long as you are going to flash it).


Installation
*Assuming you have flashed PH98IMG.zip already*
  • Put ROM on SD Card
  • Reboot into recovery
  • Wipe data/Factory reset(This is important!)
  • Flash ROM
  • Reboot
  • Enjoy!

I am new at flashing roms on HTC.. so bear with this question if stupid. Any reason , I can't take out boot image out of PH98IMG and flash in bootloader then place rom on SD card and flash ?
Just trying to avoid Main ver issues in the future, plus I like to manually flash the kernels in fastboot . Seems to work out better for me .
Normally, I remove boot.img , flash rom.. reboot to bootloader then fastboot flash the boot.img and reboot phone.
It has worked great for me so far and I have avoided any main version issues so I can swap between ICS and GB if needed.

There is no Boot.img in this ROM, that's why you need to flash the PH98IMG.zip
And yes, you can use Fastboot if you like to, it should be the same.

To everyone, I wouldn't bother flashing until fixed. When the phone boots up after flashing this ROM, it constantly pops up that Swype has stopped working. It also asks for your country which you can't even select.

But with the Swype error, you can't type anything to set anything up. I went into settings and Swype was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off or activate any other keyboard.

I had to revert to my previous ROM because I couldn't do anything with this one. The ROM itself looks promising from what I saw, but it's not usable in its current state.

Hopefully it's fixed soon!

Yes, sorry to report that. I even wiped and flashed again to make sure, and the same problems popped up.

The first thing it asks when you unlock the screen is to choose your country. There is a drop down box but when you click on it, there is nothing in there and it gives an error.

Then the Swype error pops up like very 5 seconds and you can't get any keyboard to pop up to type anything.

As I said, the ROM looks great though! I'm looking forward to the update and see how it runs! Thanks!!

For the country issue: did you try just hitting home a few times to skip setup?

Yes, I hit home a few times to skip it but the Swype error issue completely cripples this ROM. It pops up around every 5 seconds and you can't get a keyboard to pop up at all. Even after going into keyboard settings there is nothing in there as an alternative to do anything with the ROM.

    Also you might want to throw a stock keyboard in there too, just so people have the option if they don't like swype. I know they can just download one too, but just a suggestion.

    It has been uploaded for some time now.
    So its safe to flash.

    Some things I noticed:

    1. Cannot select country (Already mentioned). Pressing Back / Home gets around this.
    2. Attempting to select a Ringtone / Notification tone causes Settings to FC.
    3. There's no keyboard, just Google Voice Typing.
    4. USB Mass Storage doesn't appear to work.

    Otherwise, it seems very smooth.

    Has anyone tested those on 1.1? I don't care for kb, but it would be nice to have USB Mass Storage. Thanks :)
