Thank you all for the comments and a big thanks for
@dosdude1 for his big work! This is something awesome to get the new update on an old MacBook .
I just got an 2011 mid Air and it works fine, with no problem on it, no problem with sound, internet, or nothing else.
For those who get the "no logo" error when booting up:
After you install and patch, there is an very important thing, to edit the: :"/Volumes/Mojave/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist" "Kernel Flags" to "-v -no_compat_check keepsyms=1".
This probably will fix the no logo booting error, and your Mac will boot with the new software.
I got a
question: Can we just update to the next beta when it comes out thru the AppStore, or we have to make a new USB installer with the next beta on it?
what does keepsyms=1 do? Curious.

has anyone figured c2d at all?
Farthest I got is boot to a black screen on the second stage. Similar CPU, Mac Pro 3,1.

Supporting new technology doesn't have to come at the cost of dropping support for older technology. Mojave is actually a good example of this; although Apple claims the OS requires Metal, it actually still contains the necessary code and frameworks for OpenGL and OpenCL support, even updated from the versions found in High Sierra.
There's a financial incentive for Apple to force users of older hardware to upgrade, and excuses like 32-bit EFI, Metal, or even just a 7 year cutoff work well. In reality, supporting these things would not cripple Apple's ability to also allow MacOS to fully take advantage of newer hardware and technology.
I haven't tried Mojave on a 2010 MacBook Pro 6,2, but my 2011 MacBook Pro 8,3 does run Mojave well, or at least as well as you can expect for a beta.
They could easily support both. I am all for moving forward. But how hard would it to be cover every machine that supports High Sierra, Sierra and El Cap for that matter. It would not ruin their company.
I am an Apple fan boy and have used Macs since the Mid 1980s and bought my first Mac in a parking lot of a hotel in 1992. It was a Mac SE. Used. I upgraded it myself with a faster CPU via a daughter card and cranked it up to a whopping 4MB of RAM. Black and White 9 inch screen.
My first new Mac was a Quadra 600. Later a used LC 575. Then a new SuperMac S900 Clone (8500 equiv) Next new Mac was a Mac Pro QuickSilver G3 (cost a bundle over 3K). And later an Intel Mac mini, some Mac Laptops used and new, but lately Mac mini's 2012s and Mac Pros 2008s. Finally in 4K land on the desktop and it was cheap. Best display ever, 28" gaming ASUS and it only cost $250 off eBay. I also was in the Hackintosh Realm around the Pentium 4 and Dell Mini 9 days.
That said... I am never gonna buy another new Mac. Not at today's prices. Not when I can practically build one from scratch with a Mac Pro 2008 - 2012. Yes, no i7, ram is not the fastest, but it does not take a rocket scientist to take it from running like total garbage to a zippy mean machine.
Apple makes its money today form selling phones and selling warez at the App Store that they don't even write. I doubt Mac sales which account for less than 10% of all PCs sold makes a difference to them. I doubt they care if I buy used for the rest of my life. They need to stop making a new version of their OS every year, and just have software updates every year. Give everyone in the last decade the goods. Apple has the money and resources to make it happen. Apple is a consumer company and that's how they got back on top, but when will they give back to the community that made them great. When will they set out to do what they original intended to do, to change the world.
Apple could donate old supported hardware to third world countries and really make a difference. Apple says they want to change the world. I actually work a progressive startup company ranked #14 in Charlotte that also says this and does do it. But if Apple really wants to change the entire world. Support machines back to 2008 and take any old stock hardware and donate it to third world countries, schools, governments, and non-profit organizations. Support the OS and software. Give em free AppleCare and stamp your logo where it isn't. It's time for Apple to give back and in a big way. And if they did this, they might even gain market share. It'll give them great free PR and it is better news than the bad press they received in the past year about a root access bug, cruddy keyboards that short out keys due to dust and slowing down old iPhones with old batteries. Their design is great. Why not make the Company really great?
