r/flipperzero

Hey all — I've been building Hyper-Zero-UI, a heavily-modded fork of qFlipper. The star is LOTEI, a snarky 100% local AI dolphin (runs on Ollama, no cloud/API keys, completely optional) that lives in the app, can read your SD card + press the Flipper's buttons over RPC, has a neural voice, and a live screen mirror. Plus a one-click custom-firmware manager (Official/Momentum/Unleashed/RogueMaster), a full pink theme, and a runtime color editor.

Just got it building as a **Linux AppImage** — tested connecting to a real Flipper over USB. Windows + Linux both supported now.

100% local, open-source (GPLv3), unofficial fork — not affiliated with Flipper Devices.

Repo + releases: https://github.com/DUNKINKKD/lotei-qflipper/releases/tag/v1.2.0

Happy to hear feedback / feature ideas 🐬

I go by LxveAce and everything I make is open source.

I got sick of every board on my bench needing its own flasher. The Flipper had qFlipper, my ESP32s had like five different web flashers, and none of it talked to anything else. So I built one app to run all of it, with the devices able to actually communicate. On the Flipper side it flashes the custom firmwares through qFlipper. The point is the Flipper stops being a silo. It's in the same dashboard as the ESP32 stuff, and you can pass targets and results between devices instead of them living in separate apps.

doesn't have to run on a laptop, either. There's a Pi build, so if you're putting a It Flipper into a cyberdeck or a portable rig, this can be the thing that actually runs the setup, and there's a web mode if you'd rather drive it from your phone.

There's also a standalone flasher and a headless version for screenless setups, plus some smaller bits. All open source.

it's called HZUI (hyper zero ui). started as a personal fork of qFlipper because i wanted features the official app was never getting — and in the AMA this week the devs confirmed there are no plans to add new features to qFlipper, so figured it's time to actually share it.

the main thing:

- firmware switcher built in — official, momentum, unleashed, roguemaster, each pulled straight from that project's own update server. pick release/dev, hit install. no more hunting tgz files. background update checks ping you when a new one drops, and flashing always asks first

other stuff i added on top of normal qFlipper:

- serial port release/reconnect — frees the com port for CLI tools with one button instead of quitting the app

- optional local AI assistant — OFF by default, runs entirely on your own machine via ollama, nothing cloud (the model isn't even in the download, it's a separate install). turn it on and it can browse/read/write the SD card and navigate menus over RPC. ignore it and it's just a normal qFlipper

- re-themeable UI — and on first launch it'll read your flipper's name and generate a matching color theme, or you just pick your own accent colors

plus everything qFlipper already does — screen streaming, file manager, DFU recovery (recovery always uses the official image no matter what channel you're on).

size heads-up before someone asks: the windows build is ~330mb because it bundles the whole Qt6 runtime (it's a Qt Quick app). the AI/model is NOT part of that.

windows build on the releases page, mac/linux build from source for now.

brand new, will have rough edges. issues + PRs welcome, be brutal

I made a Flipper Zero app for Morse code. It started as "can I make the orange brick do telegraphy properly?" and then got slightly out of hand.

The first trick is Flipper-to-Flipper Morse: send from one Flipper, receive on another. Pocket secret-message machine. Utterly unnecessary, which is half the charm.

It is also useful if you want to get better at ARG games, beat the timer in escape rooms without crawling back to the Morse lookup table, become suspiciously useful at Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, get through scouting signal-badge stuff, or just finally understand what that random bit of Morse in cartoons and old films is actually saying. Or maybe you want to become a ham radio operator: low quality voice chat where the ionosphere decides what medical conditions you'll talk about next.

What it does:

• Flipper to Flipper Morse
• listen-and-repeat exercises
• straight-key timing practice
• sending drills
• real telegraphic key or paddle over GPIO
• USB telegraphy adapter mode for specialised practice sites and games (keyboard, mouse, and MIDI output modes)
• smooth audio out on P2 if the buzzer starts doing your head in
• built-in help/manual for learning without memorising Morse as dot-and-dash inventory
• ham radio field mode with canned messages, rig keying, PTT, and logging

The first hardware adapter is just a 6.5 mm jack soldered to header pins. No PCB, no ceremony, just a small ugly hack that works annoyingly well. You can use the Flipper buttons, but a real key feels much better and is more fun to build.

BENS BEST BENT WIRE is a common telegraphy test phrase: the Morse equivalent of scribbling loops and those suspiciously round capital-A shapes when testing a pen.

J’ai suivi le tuto sur GitHub en ouvrant l’application tag tinker puis ensuite targeted Payloads mais je trouve pas l’option your tag, voici une photo d’un tag dans le magasin de mon coin

I just installed a cheap motorized TV Mount that doesn't appear to have any equivalent model (I'll link it below).

It came with a wired controller and an IR remote. The corded controller has preset slots that you can assign height values to. The remote only has up and down.

I don't see any kind of model numbers on the controllers themselves.

Does anyone think there may be a way to program a Flipper Zero to remotely send the command to use a preset via IR? If so, how could I figure out how to do that?

I saw the price of the flipper zero and could not buy it and a lot of people probably felt the same! so i looked around to find a open source alternative but i could not find any.

So i attempted to make my own! and all the parts cost 50 dollars for two

currently it runs ghost esp and can do wifi, ble, and bad usb attacks.

i tried for hours to get my nfc and sub ghz modules to work with it but now i think it is a wiring issue or something wrong with my module.

so now i have to find help on this. So if you want to help just comment or wish me luck :)

if you want to help me make this better, comment and build this yourself and test with your own modules! Thanks

just ask if you want to build it too as most stuff work fine except for nfc and sub g.

bdw this is not over i am still making this and would love some support in making this better.

Models are coming just ask!

also if anyone wants to collab on this to make it even better just ask!

A few days ago I had this random idea: what if I used the Flipper Zero as the UI/brain for a tiny offline music player, and let an external MP3 module handle the actual decoding/audio output?

I ended up building it.

The project is called Flipper Walkman:
https://github.com/rynosec/flipper-walkman

What it is: -
a native Flipper Zero external app (.fap)
- retro cassette / Walkman-style UI
- controls a cheap UART MP3 module over GPIO/UART
- MP3 files live on the module s microSD card
- audio comes out from the external module, not the Flipper itself

Current controls:
- OK = play/pause
- Left/Right = previous/next track
- Up/Down = volume up/down
- Long OK = About/Help
- Long Back = exit

Hardware I used:
- Flipper Zero
- UART MP3 module (GD3300D / HW-311 / YX5300-style board)
- microSD card
- headphones/speaker connected to the MP3 module

A couple of notes:
- this is not native MP3 playback on Flipper
- the Flipper is basically acting as the controller + UI
- the MP3 module handles file storage, MP3 decoding, and audio output
- song names are not displayed yet because these cheap UART MP3 modules usually don t expose filenames or ID3 metadata nicely over UART

I wrote a full build write-up here too: https://ryno.sh/posts/building-a-walkman-style-mp3-player-on-flipper-zero/

This started as a fun nostalgia project more than anything serious.

Would love feedback from the community:
- Has anyone else built something similar?
- Any better MP3/audio modules I should try?
- Any ideas for improving track naming / metadata UX?
- Would people want playlist mapping from Flipper SD card in a future version?

I am also working on doing a proper plug and play solution with custom 3D printed case, let me know what you feel about this project.

So looks like Flipper Zero firmware development is not actually being killed.
Flipper basically clarified that they’ll still maintain the official firmware, review community PRs, and keep the Apps Catalog going. But their main focus is moving toward new devices, so I wouldn’t expect the official firmware to get tons of new features fast.

Been trying to get my hands on a hack rf device forever! I bought an H2M portapack on Ebay thinking the hack rf one came along with it and I was bummbed when I found out it didn’t.

Was fortunate enough to get a good deal on market place for one and the lad I got it from really needed the money cause he lost his job so win win!

Whats the first thing I should do with this bad boy to get me on the fast track to learning how it works and all it has to offer? My goal is to grow my skills and knowledge in the field of electronics!

Hey everybody,

I recently picked up a Flipper Zero to mess around with. I tried to clone my apartment key fob. It’s a MIFARE Classic 1k tag, and I managed to successfully read/copy the card data.

When I try to emulate it in Flipper Zero, I can access all the doors but the garage door opens with a button press which I am unable to emulate. I tried pressing the button while cloning it to flipper zero but it didn’t work.

Has anyone run into this with MIFARE Classic 1k specifically? Am I doing wrong on my end? Any workarounds appreciated.

Thanks!

Lower left corner. Damn :/

This is the Flipper companion device, I name it just the Flipper Device just to be simple, it's just an A11 running a custom Flipper Launcher. It fun to execute and document one device without using my main smartphone. I what to using it more to use what the Flipper cannot.

I love it!
