i use luma personally, but im wondering what this does? not just features, but what makes it stand out from other cfw's? or is it just a plain ol' cfw?

Apart from being an active cfw that some tools and homebrew base itself on, it's pretty much the only one and the simplest one for the Guide followers.
 
A9LH+Ctrbootmanager9+luma3ds user here, I read that if you already have a9lh you can install shadownand without your otp.bin, so i followed your instructions of how to install shadownand, so i went ahead and installed it, it said that it was succesful but after shutting down my 3ds it just boots a blackscreen and I can't access anything, can't access luma, can't access ctrbootmanager9, Can't boot Safe update, I am pretty sure I have a folder called homebrew/3ds/ and I put my boot.bin there, what am i doing wrong?

Shadownand has a different folder setup then regular AL9H. I'm also using shadownand but i have to check because i don't know. But normally without an SD your 3DS would boot since it doesn't need an SD card anymore. You have to check if everything is in the right folder because there's something different about the folder setup in shadownand

Yep, that is strange. Could it be ctrbootmanager that can't boot with ShadowNAND?
 
I installed the ctrbootmanager9 fork of shadowhand for shadownand just in case, should i uninstall the normal ctrbootmanager9 and keep the shadowhand fork?
No idea, I'm not into boot managers, I use Corbenik's chainloader or my own payload switcher instead :3.
 
I was going to switch to this until I saw that you can move your arm9loaderhax.bin to ctrnand with fbi. hooray for luma with no sd card!

It's still basicly the same tho and also running luma.
Actually ShadowNAND is missing patches, like region-free and reboot patches. Luma3DS copied over to the NAND with FBI has all of the Luma3DS patches.

I don't care tho, it does what it needs to do for me and not gonna do a whole setup again when i'm just running luma quite fine

A whole set up.... meaning spending about 45 seconds in FBI copying and pasting the arm9loaderhax.bin to CTR NAND? Okie doke...
