Why Momentum?
Momentum is a based on the Official Firmware for Flipper Zero, and includes most of the awesome features from Unleashed. It is a direct continuation of the Xtreme firmware, built by the same (and only) developers who made that project special.
The goal of this firmware is to constantly push the bounds of what is possible with Flipper Zero, driving the innovation of many new groundbreaking features, while maintaining the easiest and most customizable user experience of any firmware. Fixing bugs promptly and ensuring a stable and compatible system is also of our utmost importance.

3. These Firmwares add extra Bad KB options in Bad USB, as proposed to OFW in PR 4136.
4. Partional functionality, less options in the "CFW Settings" management app.
5. Different format (manifest_xyz.txt) that only supports animations, not icons and fonts.
