Marlin
Marlin is an optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform. Many commercial 3D printers come with Marlin installed. Check with your vendor if you need source code for your specific machine.
I don't really love the community firmware that gets posted to thingiverse, reason being is that they are usually old versions of Marlin. It is very easy to enable mesh bed leveling in Marlin directly from the main github. Also, Marlin maintains a separate repository for example configs for many different printers including the Artillery X1.

Regarding putting the TFT into a different mode, I highly recommend a firmware for the TFT screen itself called RAWR TFT Firmware. It allows you to disconnect the TFT from the mainboard so you can connect to the mainboard via USB. It has many other features that make it worth using, but not having to take apart your printer to disconnect the screen is priceless in my book.
