I did update my iMac8,1 from 10.14.4 to 10.14.5 via OTA and patched with @dosdude1's 1.3.1 patcher.
Everything works great like 10.14.3, I would say even more, I know have the Siri wave and translucent in Siri working !
Never saw the Siri waves on my early-2008 iMac
Nice work !

Since Legacy Video Card Patch 6/Mojave Patcher 1.3.2 my Mac Pro 3,1 (2x 2,8 Quad, 32 GB, Nvidia GT 120 512 MB) acts very sluggish when playing videos (Youtube, Twitch) (also distorted audio) or in apps like Opera (settings window) (charging Apple Watch disconnects when settings window in Opera is open - very weird).
Problem was not existent with Mojave Patcher 1.3.1 and macOS 10.14.4 Mojave. 1080p videos played perfect in Youtube.
After update to patch 6 and reboot I immediately noticed something was wrong. Re-installed all patches but that did not help. Created a new installer (from two different Macs) with 1.3.2 and 10.14.4/10.14.5 but it still feels bad.
Anyone else has that problem with Mac Pro 3,1?
How can I revert to pre patch 6 with out reinstalling from 1.3.1/10.14.4?

Yes I did - my hybrid patches don't fix that yet. Dunno why.
HIToolbox affects all things menubar - so restoring the original version will undo those fixes. No correlation to CoreUI but a legitimate configuration if you don't want to muck with the menubar (or don't care for the Dark mode side effects)
CoreDisplay is not part of my Hybrid patch approach. No linked effect that I know of (yet). It IS necessary for graphics acceleration from 10.4.4 onwards (as @ASentientBot discovered)
[doublepost=1557954850][/doublepost]Hmmm a new .6 beta with NO release notes. I hate those...
https://developer.apple.com/documen...notes/macos_mojave_10_14_6_beta_release_notes
Wonder what changes are being snuck in...

By the way, which version of macOS are you run-in? If it's any variant of .5, hybrid transparency patches are not available yet (soon). Some report that .4 versions of Hybrid patches work well with .5, but it's not a tested or supported configuration, so just be aware of that. Thanks.
.4 hybrid patches work well with 10.14.5 and 10.14.6 beta 1 so far
I posted screenshots when I updated my iMac and MacBook So i posted some time ago but just gonna re-post in case it was missed. Anyone with MBP 6,2 having issues with stuttering bluetooth magic mouse and trackpad in .5? It's as if the USB bandwidth is completely saturated with all the hesitations and non-smooth/sporadically slow movement of the mouse cursor. Signal quality from the magic mouse via bluetooth explorer is fine (plus the trackpad is internally connected)
Creating a new user did not help either. Downgrading the system back solved the issues.
otherwise, the system seems to run fine.

I don't have an old Mac but a new supported 2017 Macbookpro and a Hackintosh with Intel 1st Gen Core i3 Arrandale CPU (a Lenovo T410i).
I use the dosdude1 patcher only to create the USB Install Disk but don't use any of the post-install patches as my hackintosh needs separately patched intelhdgraphics kexts (use from HighSierra with the patches from https://github.com/Goldfish64/ArrandaleGraphicsHackintosh).
The reason to use dosdude1 patcher is that If I create a USB Install Disk with the createinstallmedia command line application, the installer crashes in the last 2 minutes of the first stage install. This doesn't happen with dosdude1 patcher, which bypasses the 1st stage install.
Currently, I'm on 10.14.3. To move to 10.14.5 what all files do I need from old versions. I read some frameworks GPUSupport, OpenGL and CoreDisplay from 10.14.3. Is that correct or I need something else?
So can I do something like...
1. Install macOS 10.14.5 using the USB drive prepared with dosdude1 patcher
2. Copy the GPUSupport, OpenGL and CoreDisplay frameworks from 10.14.3 (be aware that there are no IntelHDGraphics kexts as of this step)
3. Boot into safe mode (copy my statistically patched kexts)
4. Rebuild kextcache
5. Reboot?

@dosdude1 I installed Legacy Video Patch version 6 through Patch Updater but I still have random kernel panics, especially after entering the desktop. MacBook5,1.
if I remember right last year 10.13.6 final came out the same time the first beta of macOS Mojave about 2 weeks after the event in June
@dosdude1 Any idea how to fix the the CCFL backlight on my 17" MacBookPro4,1 that stopped working after my OTA upgrade from 10.14.3 to 10.14.5 followed by running macOS Mojave Patcher post install ???
Do I have to re-run your CCFL Backlight Control Patch (bkltpatch10.14.2 referenced in post #11156) that I successfully ran following my 10.14.2 installation? Or do I need an updated bkltpatch10.14.5 for macOS 10.14.5 ?

My 10.14.5 Status Update:
Downloaded dosdude1 patcher v1.3.2 today. Created a new USB Flash drive Installer with 10.14.5
27in iMac 11,1 running 10.14.4 - booted to flash drive, installed, rebooted, patched, rebooted. Everything A-OK! No issues whatsover. Works like a charm.
Macbook Pro 8,2 w/broken AMD dGPU running 10.14.4
Followed the same process as for my iMac. Turns out the install deleted my /System/Library/Extensions-off directory.
I use the loginhook / AMDRadeonX3000.kext load/unload + AMD6000.kext Info.plist FWB_CFG=3 method to keep my AMD dGPU disabled and still have brightness buttons + sleep + clamshell mode working. (I posted the method details I found a while back in this thread... I've found that cannot use the dosdude1 dGPU disable patch without losing brightness buttons and sleep functions...at least that was the case for 10.14.3 and 10.14.4).
Anyway, after patching with the tool (v1.3.2), my MBP went into a bootloop. So I went back to CLI Single user mode, recreated the System/Library/Extensions-off directory, and moved the AMDRadeonX3000.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions over to the Extensions-off directory. "touched" the Extensions directory and rebooted. SUCCESS! (This was good news, since it means I can use the updated 10.14.5 AMDRadeonX3000.kext, and not have to revert to a prior version. The 10.14.5 version appears to work fine with the loginhook load/unload hack.)
I then checked the AMD6000.kext info.plist and found the FWB_CFG was back to 0. Copied AMD6000.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions, updated the copy info.plist to FWB_CFG value "3" (as is needed), deleted the AMD6000.kext version in System/Library/Extensions, and replaced it with my modified version. Reboot. SUCESS!
Continuity Activation tool: Had to uninstall, reinstall, and then re-do the board-ID patching. Working now!
My only issue is the MBP iSight camera doesn't work now. I think I need to go back to the non-dosdude1 patched version. But I can't remember which .kext that is for the legacy iSight patch? Anybody know? I had it working fine in both 10.14.3 and 10.14.4....
Otherwise, I'm back to "normal" on the MBP and everything else is working well! THANK YOU ALL! THANK YOU dosdude1!

Yes, just go ahead and re-run that patch. It still causes kernel panics for some users (and I haven't been able to figure out why), so I haven't included it with any of my tools. The 10.14.2 version should work just the same on later versions.
Update: Macbook Pro 8,2 - Re-ran the iSight patch from the tool while in MacOS just for kicks, even though the tool says everything is installed.... It worked, and iSight is working... So I'm back to (so far) everything working AFAICT. Happy Camper... Thanks again to all!.
Unlike 10.14.0-3, in 10.14.4-5, USB/keyboard/touchpad actually works OOB on MacBook7,1 which is nVidia MCP89 based. Not sure if this applies to other machines, but it is kind of cool (and shocking, for Apple!) that the OS actually got more compatible again.
Less than a month until 10.15!!
Thanks! I re-ran your CCFL Backlight Control Patch (bkltpatch10.14.2 referenced in post #11156) on my 17" Early 2008 MacBookPro4,1 which I had just updated 10.14.5 via OTA... and my F1 & F2 backlight buttons are working perfectly again and brightness is restored (previously dim before this patch).
Thanks again... You're AMAZING !!!
I found the solution, My old graphic card which I use too get a boot screen was the problem. Not being metal capable caused the boot process too stall. Removed the card from the system and all works without any problems.
Couldn't remember removing it before rebooting last time. Anyway problem sorted.
Still works fine on two of my MBs: MBP4,1 and MB5,2.
No KPs in any form either - I´d welcome the patch as an optional "tickable" selection in one of the coming patcher tools. ;-)
installed a graphics driver update (mid 2010 iMac) from the patcher on the machine from dosdude and now I can start in single user mode only. The startup gets to the end of the bar and just hangs. If I boot with:
mvram boot-args=“-x -v -f” or without the -f I get a message about Iopresentmenttransactionstate I believe it is and then every process crashing with a “too many corpses being created” message
Is there any way to back this patch out or am I screwed?

Your video card is working properly. The line that says there is no driver is about the audio controller. This is for using audio over HDMI. Having no driver here is normal for Mac OS.
Macvidcards.com recommend AMD cards work best for FCP as it is an OpenCL application.

This may be relevant to you. However, the mp3.1 cannot use the later AMD cards as The CPUs do not have the SSE4.2 instruction set so the nVidia cards have to be used.
You can just re-install a copy of macOS using your Mojave Patcher USB drive, then apply post-install patches. When released, I hadn't realized that update would cause issues on 10.14.2 and older. It's been fixed now though, and won't cause issues on any Mojave version.
Can you add this into the patcher? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/activate-amd-hardware-acceleration.2180095/
Helps out a ton for us Mac Pro with AMD cards.
