The Finder glitch is because of transparency. Either use dark mode or enable Reduce Transparency to fix it. Hopefully there will be a better solution to this in the future.

Make sure that you’re using the latest version of Mojave (PB2, DB3) and the Mojave Patcher (0.1b10) has
I do have a similar machine too MBP 2011 except mine is 13 inches, as I have stated before, these machines have an Intel Sandy Bridge Controller Chipset, I don't have the dual graphics one with AMD, only with IntelHD3000 and it's working on my MBP early 2011 13".
Anyway I guess these machines can still boot even with every patches applied like the telemetry.plugin replaced from HighSierra, AppleHDA replaced from High Sierra, IntelHD3000 kexts replaced from Sierra...
except with IOUSB* patches, you have to use only the standard IOUSB* of Mojave, if you use any other (ex. IOUSBHostFamily.kext) from High Sierra, you will panic for sure on these machine with Intel Chipset!
I am not 100% sure that the panic on MBP 15/17" is caused by ATI/AMD* Kexts too (maybe disabling ATI/AMD GPU from an nvram command could fix it), but I am sure it is caused by patched IOUSB*** on the 13" MBP 2011.
While the IOUSB*** patches are mandatory only for C2D Penryn Nvidia Chipset's Mac.
My consideration (since I've already tested it) is on any Intel Sandy Bridge Chipset's Mac (those who has at least an integrated IntelHD GPU to be clear) you have to use the standard untouched Mojave IOUSB*** Family kexts without any USB patching, except if required the one to fix FaceTime HD camera.
If you can't do it manually, also maybe trying to reinstall with dosdude1's Mojave Patcher Post Install selecting as your Mac Model 13/15/17": MacBookPro8,1 / MacBookPro8,2 / MacBookPro8,3

Ohhh..... 
I just sold my MacBook Mid 2010 and Mac Mini Mid 2010 on Ebay, because they had come to end of life in OS ..... in my thinking ..duh !!! now just got Mac Pro2.1 and 3.1 any chance Mojave for them? I must admit Mojave does look good on my MacBook Pro early 2015 though, love the dark mode Oh well i'll save up my pennies for a new 2018 MacBook Pro only £6,209

You achieved it, do not have to do anything else, all those issues you described are common to everyone and to the Mojave beta status, they have already been treated before and for Finder's sidebar there is a workaround in light mode with "reduce transparency", at the moment this is the best you can find around. And personally it's much more than I expected.

Hello , I’ve recently put macOS Mojave onto my 2009 Mbp and my WiFi keeps going off and coming back on , does this mean my WiFi card is not supported ? It worked perfectly fine on macOS high Sierra .
Also my laptop crashes and reboots , this doesn’t happen on the other macos’s
If anyone has any info or help let me know

cMP2,1 - no go currently due to lack of SSE4.xOhhh.....
cMP3,1 - runs Mojave, see page #1 and user reports here in this thread

Any idea why neither the installer nor a bootable patched volume can be booted on a MacBook Air 1,1 (original)?
Processor is C2D Penryn T7700 (afaik with SSE 4.x support). I know that intel x3100 graphics can not be used for acceleration but safe boot should be ok. But it hangs in early boot phase. Can supply pictures if needed...
I´m sure it´s the same story with macOS (High)Sierra, but I seem to have missed it back then.
Yosemite and El Cap can be booted, though.
Technical reasons?
ive been using my 2010 mbp with the gt 330m and so far it's good. I just have the USB being unpowered and that's all (not charging my ipad) but that's another issueThis is fantastic news. I've been religiously watching this thread to see if anybody's having issues with my new nVidia Tesla binary patch and you're one of the first to confirm what I thought, that it's working. Sets my mind at ease a little
If anyone has any issues with graphics on the new patch, please tell me. I'm using this as my primary machine and no trouble in several hours of use, but who knows. I just deleted a function call after all, still not exactly a clean fix.
I own a MacBookAir1,1 (albeit the hard drive died a few years ago and I never bothered to fix it). They don’t use a Penryn, they use a Merom, and thus have no SSE4.2 support, so it wouldn’t be able to run anything higher than El Capitan. But since the last 64-bit driver for the X3100 on that model was in 10.6.2, I can’t imagine getting anything newer than Lion running on it would be a good experience in any case. No proper sleep, poor performance and all that.
SSE4.2 it's not exactly the main issue, the best last unsupported MacOS running on that machine was Mountain Lion in 32 bit mode. Even if EFI and CPU were 64 bit capable, there were no Kexts to enable QE/CI in 64 bit mode for that legacy Intel X3100, but only in 32 bit mode.
That wasn’t even a GM kernel on ML either. You had to use the one from DP1.
There was actually a 64-bit kext in the 10.6.2 update, but Apple pulled it after that release. It worked, but had issues with sleep among other things.

[doublepost=1531663107][/doublepost]Do you have graphics acceleration working on your mid-2011 iMac ?
Hi - what machine did you test on? I have a mbp 5,3? I've never used kext utilities and since I can revert back successfully the manual procedure I'm using is pretty sound. All other USB devices work fine OOB on the latest Mojave beta 3.
I am testing with extensions from HS 13.6. I think that's the one you posted. The iSight camera and interface on mbp 5,3 are different. Here is my list of USB devices:

Could you send me a copy of your System Report so I can compare with mine ? Thanks.
I was testing on MB7,1 as I told in some posts before I had that machine, I thought that your MBP 5,3 had a similar hardware maybe you are right they could be a bit different.
No, I never uploaded any IOUSB* Family kext from my High Sierra, I only posted a IOUSBFamily.kext from Mojave beta 2, you should keep all yours IOUSB* kext untouched from your Mojave beta 3, then replace the entire IOUSBHostFamily.Kext taken from any of yours High Sierra Installation possibly the last 10.13.6, and lastly install as you already know my IOUSBFamily.kext taken from my Mojave beta 2.

I have a similar iMac with Mojave installed (3.4 GHz and AMD 6970M graphics) but I have extremely slow graphic processing and poor application starts and run. Does yours run smoothly?
