If this will be verified by most, then apple is seriously trying to stop OpenGL.
edit:
I guess dosdude1 (¶#13447) is right, probably after the 10.14.4accel patch you haven't re-renamed or copied back this package /S/L/E/AppleIntelHD3000GLDriver.bundle
apple have more important business to handle with than get in the way unsupported mac.
edit 2:
@DuncanGarp you were totally right about 10.14.5 beta acceleration issue.

Hello,
I have a Mac 8,1.
I install the patches but I cant boot from a APFS Non SSD Hard drive. If I pick iMac 7,1 I can choose APFS Patch and it will boot but then I get the black EFI window.
Thanks.

Maybe this

I'd advise to those who don't intend to proceed with APFS-ROM-Patcher to use a Mojave HFS Installation, I don't know what you mean exactly with "black EFI window", anyway try to hold alt-option key after the power on and select the "EFI Boot" label holding CTRL key and pressing enter-key.
Just installed a pair of new 8GB RAM on MacBook 5,1. Mojave is now running smoothly.
But only one thing, @0403979, your macOS patcher seems to be NOT contain the USBOHCI patch and Software Update patch(?)

I installed, after reboot nothing happens isight still not working. here is my isight specifications. if someone can help me I appreciate. thanks
I can confirm that 10.14.5b1 needs more than the latest 10.14.4accel patch from @dosdude1.
Tried the (now familiar) routine to get acceleration running on my HD3000 GPU (macbook air 4,1), to no avail.
From the screen outputs it seems the window server crashes again (other tasks boot further, but you do not reach the finder/login).
I noticed that in /PrivateFrameworks/ there is a new/updated "HIDDisplays.framework". What puzzles me is that I do not have this on my 10.14.4 machines (framework not there), but in the 10.14.5b1 update some of the files in that bundle have older creation dates that match the installation time of the previous 10.14.4 (final).
Can others confirm existence or absence of this framework on both macOS versions? Thanks!

Re-run the patches for graphics (either with the 1.3.0 version of the patch installer from dosdude1 or with his patch updater tool and the option to re-install all patches).
Interesting and weird at the same time, I don't think apple developers from a final build 10.14.4 to an initial 10.14.5 build make big changes, maybe they take care of Metal so much to dropping OpenGL asap (or they follow this thread? Licit), because there are too coincidences.
Since updating to 10.14.4 on my Mac Pro 3,1 a number of applications that used to work under 10.14.3 now no longer function.
The most important is Messages, which refuses to login to my iCloud Account.
Anyone know how to track down why?

Technically downgrading to 10.14.3 re-installing over your current 10.14.4 will make things work again w/o losing personal datas and w/o replacing these "new" frameworks.
The fact is that more forward we go more frameworks are involved to support new or improve old features.
Reading many opinions about failing core apps, random KP, windowserver OpenGL init crashes, I have reason to think the best reliable version for our unsupported mac is Mojave 10.14.3 (18D109) .
edit:
The fact that dosdude1 10.14.4accel patch and Larsvonhier Siri patch are based on 10.14.3 frameworks, it's significant.

No problems here on a Mac Pro 3.1. But this time I did a full installation (not clean, just no update via System Preferences). Maybe you could try it again, if not already done this way.
I'll try both ways - I'll copy my drive and install 10.14.3 over the copy - then I'll try a fresh install with a migrate.
Will get back with results - it might take a very long time
What apple support suggests in this case is to log out of all your devices iCloud accounts, reset parameters in NVRAM and log in again on the MP 3,1
I assume the patch updater prompted you for them? I don’t operate the patch updated and our tools work differently. The patches are there but not in the way the patch updater expects. I have a tool to unpatch your system from dosdude1’s patches before applying my patches. I don’t recommend you run both at once.
No joy installing 10.14.4 on the cMP 3,1. Did the same thing as 10.14.3 (which worked fine) but this time I get a boot loop after the caches have been rebuilt by the new patcher. Both graphics cards are installed (8800GT and GT710), one monitor on each. I don't care about backups, just fresh install on apfs ssd. Are there any extra steps I should take this time?
Is this a Software Update to 10.14.4 or an installation with the patched full installer? Also, mixing a Metal-compatible and non-Metal-compatible graphic card is problematic the legacy video patches for the latter will break the former.
Using patcher 1.3.0 installed 10.14.4.08 on a 3,1 Mini on top 14.3, HFS+ SSD. Infrequent random crashes. Black screen, then white screen with "press any key or wait warning," then reboots itself without the chime and after runs perfectly until next crash hours later. Most crashes occurred while in the Finder, btw.
Installed 14.4 accel patch, removed cited files, re-installed Legacy Video patch. Rebooted, twice. And so far, it's all good. Mini slept 8 hours then now in use for 5 hours, rock solid. Have not tried iOS-ish apps, as yet.

It is a fresh install on an erased ssd that has been apfs formatted. There was no issue with anything breaking anything else with 10.14.3 why now? I need the 8800GT to see the initial screens because the (Kepler) GT710 shows no efi screens. It appears that something is different now, what though?
Well, what' s issue exactly? Blackscreen with signal, or you got console logs on login screen but never reach Desktop?
Updated mp3.1 using OTA and again using full installer with usb. Both methods worked fine and I also let the patcher do its thing. Out of interest I tried again, this time not patching LegacyUSBInjector, and USBOHCI. All went well until I tried my isight. I use a LED Cinema Display that connects via usb and had used the isight patch. Installing the USBOHCI patch brought it back to life. So in my case I need this patch. Leaving LegacyUSBInjector unpatched for now to see what happens. All appears fine for now.
Jhowarth how is your BT 4.0 working? I have carried out several installations of 14.4 on my mp3.1 and every time the BT4.0 card is recognised without me having to use the HS BT kexts. So a bonus for me as this is the first version of Mojave that has been able to use the stock kexts. I noticed that there were quite of few people with supported Macs that were having problems with BT so expect something has been changed but not sure what.
The issue is that after the patcher has completed rebuilding the caches, the system goes into boot loop. I don't tick the "legacy video patch" just like before. With the previous version (10.14.3), after the patcher had completed, I powered down the cMP, removed the 8800GT and everything worked with the Metal supported GT710 (GK208-Kepler). This time it's a boot loop. Tried powering down and removing the 8800GT but still get a boot loop with a black screen (obviously because the GT710 has no mac efi support).
Try replacing only "OpenGL" binary (from 10.14.3), not the whole *.framework.. leaving others from 10.14.5.
But GPUSupport.framework is from 10.14.3:
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL
// also try from 10.14.3-10.14.4:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreDisplay.framework/Versions/A/CoreDisplayThen take a look if there's any missing dependencies (or symbols) once you run via RecHD / SafeMode:
Code:
update_dyld_shared_cacheOn my case with Fermi, I need rolling this back from 10.14.4 / 10.14.3 to reach Desktop. Not sure with Kepler though:
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreDisplay.framework/Versions/A/CoreDisplay
