Other 3DS custom Firmwares

I'm wondering are there any other Custom Firmwares for the 3DS besides Luma3DS? The reason I'm wondering is because Luma3DS is a Firmware targeted primarily towards "noobs" and I'm looking for one that is for advanced users. I know that when it comes to boot loaders there are solutions for advanced users (Fastboot3DS) and was wondering if there's anything similar in terms of CFW.

Amazing. I configured it in one of the boot slots of fastboot3dDS for easy access.

There are other Linux launchers like ipodloader2 and projectzeroslacker. Those are more front ends for iPonLinux and seem to use Rockbox as the media player, but it might be worth looking into to see if there's something usable in there.
