Is your ssd/hdd formatted HFS or APFS as macOS Mojave requires your ssd/hdd to be formatted APFS to receive updates through the software update even though the app developers still use HFS as they know APFS is buggy

What @TimothyR734 said.
Also, @dosdude1's patcher does download DP10, build 18A384a, installer version 14.0.21. Make sure that you are using @dosdude1's macOS Mojave Patcher version 1.2.0, not version 1.1.2. V1.2.0 came out about a week and a half ago, so make sure to download that one and replace v1.1.2 of the patcher. I, and many, have confirmed that the patcher downloads and installs DP10.
Apple requiring APFS for OS updates? That sucks. Meh.
Hi do you have the link to download the patcher version 1.2.0? Thank you.
It is on the very first page of the thread OP

yes I have my iMac 9,1 both hdd's formatted APFS since beta 2 all received the updates from the software update on my MacBook 5,2 its is formatted HFS no updates when a new beta comes out
Did not know what you tried as your message was vague only you couldn't enable trim & any explanation as to what you tried, I'd be more through in your questions in the future.
You know what my bad for assuming you had tried terminal

Sure. Which Core framework is that gem from? I'll look into it.
[doublepost=1536714617][/doublepost]
Yes, definitely no longer referenced in AppKit.
[doublepost=1536714799][/doublepost]
Mojave Theming has been a major overhaul. Many of the old Yosemite/ElCapitan/Sierra/HighSierra settings no longer apply.

Yeah. I think tomorrow is it.

@dosdude1 without reading all 6800+ posts here, just letting you know that the installer worked on my 2011 macmini 5,2. Is it perfect? No, colors are not consistent with colors on a supported mac but that doesn't surprise me at all. Also for some reason orange and blue are swapped in my icons. Probably a few others but trying to keep this from being a tome. So far the few non apple apps I use seem to be functioning well. The one app I have found that isn't working well is apples Map app. It opens but no map shows up, nothing but a black screen. iCloud working well, mail working but I don't normally use mail.
One glitch I see is when moving a window, I get multiple outlines of the window while moving, but give the system a few seconds and a mouse click and they clear up. Wifi working great, but haven't tried my VPN yet. Networking to my other macs is flawless.
Considering what it probably took to even make this work, WELL DONE!!!

If you deselect Legacy Video before Patch you won't get "trails" when moving windows & ResXtreme might help you with orange/blue you're getting with your icons. Change your bit depth.

But now that I am up and running, how do i go back and deselect "Legacy Video"?
Will try resxtreme tomorrow when I can.
Yes, you have to find the right CUDA version for your Nvidia GPU, follow this table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#GPUs_supported
But first I guess you need to uninstall the CUDA, probably if you installed a recent version, you won't able to revert to previous one, only uninstalling manually CUDA from Terminal:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA\ Preferences.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/cuda
To use CUDA-Z you need a CUDA driver higher than 6.0 version , and most important it must be the right one for you GPU correctly detected into the CUDA prefpane.

This is a Mac CPU-Z equivalent: https://software.intel.com/en-us/download/download-maccpuid
[doublepost=1536736888][/doublepost]
To avoid trails and inverted colors, move out (backup and delete) only the bold kext from your Mojave only this kext and restart: /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX3000.kext
Maccpuid would be useless for this as it is for Intel cpus not multi-vendor GPUs. There really aren't any equivalents of GPU-z for macOS as the market is too small to attract interest. There isn't even a linux work-alike. Keep in mind that GPU-z is using the upstream flash utilities like nvflash to obtain the rom images.
Asked for a CPU-Z equivalent not GPU-Z, anyway on other forums there are linux utilities that could work to dump a Video ROM from macOS, but they are a bit risky to use on a EFI/SMC oriented hardware, cause need access into some logic board ACPI tables/features.
edit:
Of course, CUDA-Z is only for Nvidia GPUs, while the Windows cmd.exe based GPU-Z is good for all the multi-vendor GPUs.

CoreImage. It spits out a bunch of info if I do something like
export CI_PRINT_TREE=1
/A*/T*/C*/M*/TextEdit
But I don't really know how to parse it.
It's mentioned in a few places online:
https://www.objc.io/issues/21-camera-and-photos/core-image-intro/
https://asciiwwdc.com/2010/sessions/426
Might not be that useful, it doesn't seem to print out much relevant information when I run my Swift transparency test file. Perhaps you'll see something interesting, though.
BINGO!!! Colors fixed and trails fixed!!!!
I am constantly amazed at the amount of knowledge available here. How do you folks learn all this stuff?
From my side, putting into practice things I learned from others, fueled by a bit of self-study.
From a few tests I ran, it appears on a Mac Pro 3,1 2008 my unflashed Kepler Titan is runs at 2.5 GT/s. The fans do kick in when the GPU Is taxed like when playing Fortnite. This appears to be the only limitation on 3,1. 4,1 and 5,2 should negotiate at 5 GT/s when called upon.
The speed from everyday use however is super responsive. I ran some tests with Metal and it sky rockets compared to OpenGL.
I mostly run Xcode, Photoshop and Illustrator at 4k and probably don’t need the speed bump.
I may sell my AMD 7xxx card and put that towards another GTX card that’s flashable. I would like to know if it’s worth it on the 3,1. Holding off on getting a 4,1 or 5,1, the prices on those is getting higher than they are worth mostly due to Mojave.
I tried looking around for a Titan Mac ROM and flash instructions but could not find one. I may try to emulate the boot ROM or see if I have the GeForce card in a x16 slot will allow both cards to run up to 5 GT/s
The 3,1 is a weird animal compared to the 4,1 and 5,1 when it comes to speed, EFI and slot configurations / customization. The newer macs let you direct the channels. 3,1 cannot. EFI is more up to date on the 4,1 and 5,1. And 4,1 and 5,1 appear not to have speed limits on PC Cards. Drivers over ride the behavior. I thought the 3,1 would to but I don't think it can with its current EFI.
Still the present state I have with Metal, Mojave is very impressive and further improvements is icing on the cake. I have 4k working great. multiple displays. no artifacts on screen. Shell screen save runs with hick ups.
I did some practice with kextload and kextutil and may also go back to my AMD 7xxx card and see if I can emulate SSE4.2? I forget if its 4.1 or 4.2 that needs to be emulated.
I may flash my card if I am confident it won’t brick it.
I did flash my 3,1 for APFS and will use that then the GM comes out.
Have a PCIe OWC 1TB SSD on another x16 slot and it cooks.

If i remember correctly, that kext is required on HD6000 family to enable sleep mode and changeable backlight. It's still true?
I am using a mac mini and sleep is not affected, can't answer about the backlight since I am using an external monitor. My gpu is a Radeon HD 6630M
http://www.macvidcards.com/store/p28/Nvidia_GTX_Titan_Black_6_GB_(Flashing_Service_Only,_Informational_Page).html
suggests that you may be able to get MacVidcards to flash EFI roms on it for around $180. I also saw some some threads suggesting that the Mac rom flash might require a larger EEPROM to be installed which would explain the price. Otherwise, someone likely would have posted a dump of those rom images by now.

macOS Mojave GM will be released shortly after the event and the worldwide release will be next week
12 (more) days. Room for a few more betas?
[doublepost=1536778835][/doublepost]Beta 11 is out!

Can check if the patcher downloader has been updated for me?
