AOKP WAS MY JAM! That's what I ran all the time as my daily. I'd usually be at parties in college installing new ROMs being the meme that they don't know how cool AOSP is.

The MIUI UI was just a bit too different for my taste. I remember Paranoid's name but can't remember much about the mod itself. I also liked CarbonROM later but shortly after that probably stopped messing with them when I started using more Samsung devices. Those jerks made it a PITA to do anything fun.
