[doublepost=1536093701][/doublepost]This is from Apple:
" macOS apps that use standard AppKit colors and are rebuilt with the macOS Mojave SDK will automatically appear in Dark Mode when the user turns on the setting.
Will this work in 10.13.6?

Yes it works I have applied jackluke's patched core brightness for a few beta's already
For High Sierra 10.13.6 use this instead: High Sierra Night Shift patcher based on pikeralpha method
[doublepost=1536094387][/doublepost]
they have different offset and different file size:
Patched Mojave Corebrightness: 727 KB
Patched High Sierra Corebrightness: 641 KB
Are you running a HDD or SSD? A few minute hang time on a SSD is definitely a glitch, on an old HDD it can be expected from time to time.
Thank you, this worked for me on my PB8 MBP. I'm waiting for the PB9 to be released so I can test it again. But I'm sure it will work.
I appreciate this quote of yours on the post regarding the CoreBrightness patched file - "everyone has the right to the night patch" - and may I add "irrespective of status, gender, race, creed".
Thanks again @jackluke.
Public Beta 9 is out as an update. it seems the Mojave installer app is not available, at least yet, until now, things were the other way around. The update seems to have needed more time to install then before and the OS runs much slower now.
I have had only one issue booting up on my iMac 9,1 APFS I used the Mojave patcher to download the newest beta update the Mojave patcher and installed over DP9and my MacBook 5,2 on hfs booted with no glitches
My MBP5,5 is still showing Public Beta 8. Installed on an external SSD formatted APFS.
So I am not sure how your PB9 update showed. Anyways, still waiting patiently.
The Developer seeds pretty much lead the Public Beta seeds by a day.
Upgraded from DP9 to DP10 my iMac 10,1 using Software Update from System Preferences. The installation was rather fast. Had again the endless boot loop. Solved using the usual, booting from the USB stick with the Mojave Patcher. Open Terminal
Then close Terminal. Run Mojave Post Install tool and reinstall only USB related patches. Reboot with force cache rebuild.
Good suprise with DP10: my iSight is again working
For night Shift i applied
After unziping the downloaded file :
Then I installed it :
Night Shift started to work immediately. The only glitch is that i can only use with Custom Schedule. Trying to set it to "Sunset to Sunrise", opens a window asking location for time zone to be enabled. Opening Privacy Preferences does not solve as Time Zone & System Customisation is already checked
Code:
rm -r /Volumes/Mojave/SystemLibrary/Extensions/*IOUSB*
cp -a /Volumes/macOS/SystemLibrary/Extensions/*IOUSB* /Volumes/Mojave/System/Library/Extensions/Good suprise with DP10: my iSight is again working

Try reinstalling the Apple public beta utility on OSX Daily its says the public beta is out
I understand. I was just referring to @Vyzantion's post above regarding PB9 already out. So it made me wonder if my system preferences | software update is having an issue. I may have to go thru the mojave patch process (download latest beta/install/run macos post install/patch update). It's just a tedious process but no qualms if I have to go that route. Thanks.
Another painless update thru Software Update, only patch I had to run was audio, new OS seems okay, so far no problems with any apps I have run on 2010 iMac w/SSD. Did not Patch Legacy Video, yes no acceleration but no tears either and could run as daily driver with ho hum apps. Anything ie; Photo, Video editing, etc definitely a no. At least I know what apps I can & cannot run under Mojave. So far every app I run under HS runs on Mojave.
Edit; As dosdude1 has said without graphic acceleration on 2010-2011 iMacs, system runs in overdrive, runs hotter than normal, manageable but probably not recommended.

After Xcode Command Line Tools are installed:
Code:
sudo codesign -f -s - <path_to_mac_binary_exec>@dosdude1 I still have a question;
Is it possible to block specific system files (kext, framework, etc) to not be changed upon macOS update?
For example, preventing pre-installed /S*/L*/E*/AppleHDA.kext to be replaced by Update Process. Thanks.

Thanks @TimothyR734
I followed your recommendation (reinstalling Public Beta Utility).
As you can see, it started downloading a 6 gb file. Thinking it might be the full sized beta (not patched), I interrupted the download and stopped.
I may just have to follow @dosdude1's patch and post install processes.
Can you link me to the wireless airport card that could work with a 7,1 mid 2010 Mac Book Pro? Mine used to work up to 10.13.4 then stopped working after 10.13.5 and until the Mojave beta 10.14, with hardware not installed x-mark on wifi status bar. Let me know, cheers and keep up the good work mate.
Is your hdd or ssd formatted APFS if its HFS you wilt get the update through the software update
Applied the beta 10 update normaly and iMac booted straight into Mojave, first time it does, before I had to apply the patch otherwise I would get a grey screen with a no go sign.
Turns out Siri cannot change Night Shift on my patched MacBookPro 7,1 on macOS High Sierra. By the way, thanks @jackluke for the patcher.

The WiFi card in that system works natively in both High Sierra and Mojave. I'd open the system and verify that the WiFi card cable is connected properly to the logic board (which is the smaller of the two cables connecting to the display, next to the optical drive). The card in these systems is not upgradeable.
DB 9 caused my MacBook Pro 6,2's fans to run full speed and the temp seemed to really get hot. Also, photos.app could cause the computer to kernel panic from time to time. Just updated to DB 10 through the settings app and everything worked perfectly. I was preparing to post install patch from USB upon install, however it booted right into OSX. I did notice the fans immediately slowed down and the computer started cooling down. However, audio wasn't available so I repatched from the patcher app and rebooted. All is working well again. Thanks again @dosdude1 for all your work!
@dosdude1 My MacBookPro 7,1 loses access to my bottom RAM slot after rebooting, is the slot broken? Seems to come back randomly. Now I only have 2GB, also have when my Mac is in sleep it can't wake, I have to force shut it down?
