After I saw this Marlin port (https://github.com/moonglow/FlashForge_Marlin) it gave me confidance to do so. moonglow has done a exeptional job reverse engineering the printer and has come up with the ports map, firmware encryption and a flasher for the original bootloader.

You can try to flash patched firmware for Dreamer.

Aquila c2 and cr touch
If you have the H32 chip then this FW might help as it has manual mesh levelling, or this one for other chips.

Aquila C2 + PrusaSlicer + Smokey firmware - Extruder is getting too hot
To be able to use the LCD screen on the C2 with Alex's you would need to modify the configuration and compile it yourself. It has been attempted by Classicrocker883 but he did not have a C2 with the H32 chip to test it so it seems that version has been abandoned. I can confirm it does install and appears to work fine on my old H32 board I use for testing, it connects to octoprint and seems to be working but I have no screen to try on it.
