Thanks to dosdude1's Mojave Patcher your machine until the current Mojave beta version is almost totally supported except for a little bug in the App Store we were discussing about before.
The installation was no problem. Mojave ist working fine on this imac(i´ve got the same), the only issue is, the non functional app store. it crashs immediately after starting.
We were discussing of this and found some workarounds to use New App Store.
For example, simply try this:
Turn Off Wifi or any network ETH connection, then reopen the New App Store, it should not crash, then from App Store's Finder bar menu select Preferences, lastly disable the "Video Autoplay", after you can enable again Network connections.
edit:
If for some reason still cashes, you can find another method on page 152
And a fresh new Terminal script on page 155

Apologies, you quoted an error massage which is propably caused by the attempt to install Mojave on an existing system.
Yes I can confirm late 2009 iMac works fine. I have both 2009 C2D and i7 iMac work really well with latest patch. Make sure you get v12 patcher. For some odd reason I got v11 and thought was v12 had problem installing.
Hi guys, right now my MBP 7,1 running very well but I've always want to add Handoff/Instant Hotspot/AirDrop features, are these my best choices that will work with Mojave B4 (Iogear GBU521 , GMYLE bluetooth Broadcom BCM20702, Asus BT-400). Thanks.

Replace the internal WiFi card with one from a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro. That will give you native support.
I too successfully installed Mojave on my late 2009 iMac i7 using the b12 patcher. The system was usable, I encountered the following issues (these are not present on my propery supported Macs running Mojave):
- Obvious transparency glitches in light mode (if you try to remedy it by disabling Transparency, the menu bar will be all right but the Dock will take a rather dark gray shade which is an issue itself, since on a supported Mojave installation the Dock is light gray when Transparency is disabled).
- Less obvious glitches in dark mode (unrefined windows borders/corners especially visible over lighter backgrounds, lower parts of the dock menu will be glitchy, and transparency will still be glitchy in non-native applications using transparency).
- App Store crashes (there is a fix: avoid videos).
- Frequent Safari crashes - some sites that contain auto starting videos or some forms of Ads will trigger page reloads and then Safari will crash. You are better off if you use Chrome instead.
thanks dosdude1 for your work
Is a rollback for QE/CI possible for the HD5770 in MacPro3,1?
Everything works, sound, wifi, graphics with FullHD, only QE/CI is missing.

Agree, but consider many of those you described are still common to a Mojave supported Mac, I noticed also in a supported Mac in light mode a kind of greyed nuanced Finder bar less brighter than previous HS one, about Chrome agree too, while about Safari 12's crashes as stated earlier by parrotgeek1 it's still in beta mode, some crashes appeared also on HS supported Safari 12, I'd would say due to a beta web browser in a beta system, so next release could be better, maybe also re-interfacing an improved video-plugin with New App Store, who knows.
maybe it could be the HTML-5 not jiving with the video player in the App Store
is the App Store crashes while the video player is playing only affecting those with the AMD/ATI GPU
I am not 100% sure, but reading earlier posts, it seems occurs only on Legacy AMD/ATI kext-accelerated ones, without acceleration New App Store doesn't neither crash while the video demo app is playing.
Hi

No, due to the weird proprietary in-display design of those systems.

Did you already tried using an ethernet cable? (When you try ETH network keep Wifi turned Off)
Or maybe through Wifi but using other web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Omniweb ?

Yes, i tried Chrome without luck. Looks like the upload starts and it is stable at ~100Mbps but after 3 seconds give or take the system freezes every time. Same on High Sierra and Mojave clean install.
