No i did not, and i will try Onyx tonight before bed √Did either of you apply the @alphascorp systemupdate.framework hack to stop the Catalina nagging?
Would you mind clarifying what you did? Are you talking about standalone backlight patch (bkltpatch10.14.2) that Dosdude posted back in December 2018?I’ve had success copying the dosdude patch to a folder named bklt and putting it in the root folder, then running install.sh from a Single user command prompt (Cmd+s) at startup.
Yes that exact patch. I copied it to the internal drive just to make it easier to find, booted to single user mode, then ran install.sh after mounting the file system as read/write. Lots of warnings and errors, but just reboot and brightness was all back to normal.Would you mind clarifying what you did?

Not necessarily there is a work around create a smart album and rename it Photo’s and copy your pictures to itSeems like end of the line of macOS, for the macs without Metal, now that Photos will be "Metal accelerated" in macOS 11.
If you are in an unsupported Mac yes SIP needs to remain disabled- nothing is going to happen with SIP is disabled. I have been running my I Mac using Dosdude1's patchers since High Sierra and haven't had an issue with security. and yes the patches could fail with SIP enabledMBP 7,1 (mid2010 13in)
Everything works perfectly after dosdude1’a Mojave patcher tool. I’m just wondering if I have to keep SIP disabled for all the patches to work? Just tried to move /library/extensions/SIPmanager.kext temporarily, boot recovery and turn on SIP, and rebooted, but didn’t look like the patches stuck. Does this mean SIP will be turned off completely in order for the patches to work properly?
I’m not sure if I’m willing to risk security just for an updated UI... is there a way around this where SIP is enabled AND dosdude1’s patches work? Or am I not understanding something fundamentally lol
Remove apfs.efi and BOOT folder. The bootx64.efi is a renamed EFI Shell that automatically launches startup.nsh which loads the afps.efi driver, rescans for apfs volumes, then tries to boot the Mac OS boot.efi file from the Mojave disk, and if that fails it looks at all other disks.EDIT: I investigated where the APFS Patcher could be.
Found some shell script in the Volume EFI, looks like it could be the place where the Post Install Patcher changed something for non native APFS Macs.
Anyone knows what to change / remove or replace to get native APFS boot ?

Hi all,
Mojave 10.14.6 (18G5033) SecUpd2020.003 successfully installed on MBP5,3 (After Distibution file modification)
Restarted on USB drive and reapplied Postinstall with Force Cache rebuild after update.
Only replaced AppleGVA.framework (for videos fluidity), HIToolbox.framework (for dock menu shadows), SiriUI.framework and Siri.app (for waveform) and all seem to be working properly for now.
The first post is a wiki post that you can edit to add improvements.IDEA: Perhaps some Info in the FAQ of the patchers for same tasks like me would be great
yes use the one from High SierraHi, i am new to MBP 5,3 (Nvidia 9440M/9600M) and now have also Mojave / Sec -03 on it. ( I used APFS ROM Patcher to boot native APFS)
Question:
Does usage of an other AppleGVA.framework make video playback better / less CPU/GPU % load?
From what Mojave version have to taken the AppleGVA.framework (for videos fluidity)?
I have an backup of the 10.14.6 (without any sec updates) + High Sierra (with sec updates) and could use AppleGVA.framework from one of them. I think i should use the framework from High Sierra, rigth?

"Currently, it is not possible to get full graphics acceleration when running Mojave on a system with a Radeon HD 5xxx or 6xxx series video card. Mojave will be almost unusable without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD video card (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an iMac.) Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled. To disable the AMD GPU on a 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 or 8,3, follow the guide found here."
Well, that still doesn't apply to RADEON 5XXX or 6XXX. You're free to ask dosdude1 but AFAIK the situation didn't change since the first post. Your best bet is installing a metal compatible GPU.
