Because I couldn't find a guide or page on the different CFW that are out there.
I use RX and don't have much experience on other CFW, but it makes me curious what the differences are. So I made a list using the search function on this site, if it's outdated info please let me know in the reply section also if I missed CFW's, please tell it in the answer section with a link for the information of that CFW.
Let's make an awesome CFW guide all
And here is a great installing guide for different CFW
