Mine is supposed to be delivered today, can't wait to toss momentum on it and see what I can do!
Momentum is my favorite. I really like their UI, the ability to add any app to the main menu, and the battery charge limiter.
I haven't messed with any of them yet, but from the research I've done I know I'll need cfw of some sort for what I'd like to do. I was between unleashed and momentum but if I understand correctly momentum is basically unleashed+, and I like the easy spoofing of mac addresses, so I'm going with that.
When you say "add any app," do you mean any app from labs? I've been wondering if it was possible, like if all apps for ofw work on momentum too. My mailman needs to hurry up! Lol
Any app you find in the Apps menu. Including one you compiled and installed yourself.
That's why I installed Momentum on our company Flippers, so I could vacate all the default apps out of the main menu and only leave our own custom app.
Not sure I have enough experience to make my own apps, I'm familiar with a compiling on linux (though last few packages I tried to compile just refuse, idk why), but unless you mean "cd into the folder and type 'sudo make && make install' I'm at a loss. I know a bit of bash scripting but basically the extent of my knowledge is for loops.
Making apps for the Flipper is phenomenally simple. You don't even need to make a Makefile: it's all in the application.fam manifest. The API is very well documented here and there's plethora of sample applications and tutorials out there - for instance, this one which is pretty good and got me started.
What you do need however is a somewhat solid knowledge of the C language. Not C++, not C#: plain old C. But you know what? I reckon getting started with your first Flipper app would be a great way to learn C. It's easy, it's forgiving and it's very quick to test changes and debug what you're doing using the CLI log.
Give it a shot: it's honestly a great and rewarding little platform to develop on.
Hell I might, thanks for the inspiration! I know literally nothing about C lol but I'll at least look into these tutorials and give it a shot. Hopefully I can at least learn enough to momentum-ize some app made for the ofw or unleashed or something if need be.
