The current version of Mojave patcher just downloaded the Dev 4 version for me. However with patcher version 0.1b10 it will never fully boot even on a 2015 Macbook pro.

Why are you using the patcher at all on a 2015 MBP?

Looks like I'll need to update the tool again. Will be updated soon.

I think anyone with a Mojave supported Mac, even if the Mojave Patcher patches-free would be ready and capable to download the untouched/clean installer pkgs, create the USB installer, booting from it avoiding the Post Install, won't be the right way/method on those machines, cause any Mojave release on supported machines requires ever an EFI Boot ROM firmware update in order to work properly.

I guess the best way for supported Macs would be to enroll into the Apple Public Beta Testing Program.

Thx! Rechecked Apple Developer Releases, Internet Archive and MacRumors forums, so now I think I corrected all releases and added their dates:

20180604 Developer Preview 1 = 18A293u
20180619 Developer Preview 2 = 18A314h
20180626 Public Beta 1 = 18A314k
20180703 Developer Preview 3 = 18A326g
20180706 Public Beta 2 = 18A326h
20180716 Developer Preview 4 = 18A336e

Agreed. Dark Mode should be an absolute requirement for every app and every OS. I'm pretty annoyed with the fact that Developers of apps and Operating Systems tend to ignore this extremely common request from their users. If I have a choice in apps, and one has dark mode, I choose that app. Bright screens are very obnoxious.

some like bright screens... like me. to each his/her own.

Did you try it on a fresh volume or atop of the beta 3 installation?

Yes clean install tried HFS the APFS and clean install on on new usb drive for the macOS Mojave Patcher. I did run patching the files it went faster the normal when creating the usb drive
[doublepost=1531821516][/doublepost]I also reformatted the usb drive after I tried installing macOS Mojave on my hfs drive I also noticed it was not formatted in macOS Extended Journaled but macOS Extended do formatted the usb to macOS Extended Journaled the used the Mojave Patcher rebooted hit option and the name of my usb drive was changed from macOS to macOS X base install

It seems installer issue, one or more files became unreadable. Try re-creating USB Installer, full erase it with Disk Utility first.. then plug it into diff. port when installing, maybe?
 
I did a trivial test replacing from Sierra/HS in /Library/Widgets/Weather.wdgt
but of course it didn't worked.

Even tried replacing to attempt a luckily light mode translucency fix replacing form HS the entire /S/L/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle
but of course failing. Anyway It's a very weird case that translucency works fine only in dark mode.

Did anyone noticed if in Mojave beta 4 the Dashboard's Weather bad blocks have been fixed?

I’m having the same problem.
 
Does anyone have a trustworthy website where I can find the developer profiles for iOS and macOS?

Widgets are also dependent on /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DashboardClient.framework

The *.bundle should to be signed to works (AFAIK), to load unsigned system files we need to get SIP: Disabled (on most cases). But just loadable, doesn't mean it will work. There's also binary missmatch possibility. About weird translucency with LightMode, yes.. as many reports even with vanilla / untouched *.kexts on supported mach. Bug? IDK.

Please don’t ask for Developer Profiles, they’re not necessarily the things we can distribute without having a problem with Apple since they require a purchase to access. (Google it. ;))

Did you format your usb yet if not check to see if it was formatted the right way because when you start the Mojave patcher utility it warns you the all content will be erased so I am thinking it reformats the usb before starting the process

I did without reformat but it failed so I tried with reformat but still no luck. I clicked on save log but I can’t find where it saved it.
