Pros of flipperzero-firmware-wPlugins

• Includes additional plugins and features not found in the official firmware
• More frequent updates and experimental features
• Customizable UI themes and animations

Cons of flipperzero-firmware-wPlugins

Code Comparison

flipperzero-firmware:

void flipper_start() {
    furi_hal_power_insomnia_enter();
    furi_hal_rtc_set_log_level(FuriHalRtcLogLevelPerf);
    furi_hal_interrupt_init();
    // ...
}

flipperzero-firmware-wPlugins:

void flipper_start() {
    furi_hal_power_insomnia_enter();
    furi_hal_rtc_set_log_level(FuriHalRtcLogLevelPerf);
    furi_hal_interrupt_init();
    custom_plugin_init();
    // ...
}

The main difference in the code is the addition of custom_plugin_init() in the flipperzero-firmware-wPlugins version, which initializes the extra plugins and features not present in the official firmware.

Pros of unleashed-firmware

• More frequent updates and feature additions
• Includes additional applications and plugins not found in the official firmware
• Greater customization options for advanced users

Cons of unleashed-firmware

• Potentially less stable due to rapid development and experimental features
• May void warranty or support from Flipper Devices
• Increased risk of security vulnerabilities due to third-party contributions

void nfc_scene_read_success_on_enter(void* context) {
    Nfc* nfc = context;
    // Standard NFC read success handling
    dolphin_deed(DolphinDeedNfcRead);
    nfc_text_store_set(nfc, "UID:");
    scene_manager_set_scene_state(nfc->scene_manager, NfcSceneReadSuccess, 0);

    Nfc* nfc = context;
    // Enhanced NFC read success handling with additional features
    dolphin_deed(DolphinDeedNfcRead);
    nfc_text_store_set(nfc, "UID:");
    scene_manager_set_scene_state(nfc->scene_manager, NfcSceneReadSuccess, 0);

    unleashed_nfc_extra_features(nfc);
}

Pros of Xtreme-Firmware

• Enhanced feature set with additional functionalities
• More frequent updates and community-driven development
• Greater customization options for users

Cons of Xtreme-Firmware

• Potential stability issues due to rapid development cycle
• May void warranty or support from official Flipper Zero team
• Increased complexity for novice users

Code Comparison

flipperzero-firmware:

void flipper_application_entry(void* p) {
    UNUSED(p);
    flipper_application_init();
    flipper_application_run();
}

Xtreme-Firmware:

void flipper_application_entry(void* p) {
    UNUSED(p);
    flipper_application_init();
    xtreme_features_init();
    flipper_application_run();
}

The Xtreme-Firmware adds an extra initialization step for its custom features before running the main application.

Pros of Flipper

• More extensive collection of community-contributed scripts and applications
• Includes additional features and modifications not found in the official firmware
• Regularly updated with new content and improvements from the community

Cons of Flipper

• May include potentially risky or untested modifications
• Less stable and thoroughly tested compared to the official firmware
• Potential legal and ethical concerns with some included features

Code Comparison

Flipper-Zero-Firmware:

void gpio_init() {
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc0, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc1, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc3, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
}

Flipper:

void gpio_init() {
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc0, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc1, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pc3, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
    // Additional custom GPIO initialization
    furi_hal_gpio_init_simple(&gpio_ext_pa7, GpioModeOutputPushPull);
}

The code comparison shows that Flipper may include additional customizations or modifications to the original firmware, potentially expanding functionality but also introducing potential instability or compatibility issues.
