Actually, transparency everywhere is broken. Unless we can fix this, Reduce Transparency is the only thing we can do.

What do you mean by transparency being broken everywhere? I'm still using Mojave as my primary system (bad idea, I know) and only window corners, light menu bar, and the Dashboard are broken.

Also, if you guys are having so much trouble with the bootable installer, USB, APFS, (\) symbols etc, I'd just like to remind you that you can use the alternate install method directly opening the mpkg file rather than using the bootable installer. Anybody installing Mojave at this early a point should have the necessary skills to install it manually anyways, imo.

I haven’t checked everything in light mode but menu bar, transparent sidebars, and volume and brightness change UIs are messed up which means that it’s probably everywhere. In dark mode things are fine (weird huh?) except dashboard which cannot be fixed by enabling Reduce Transparency in either mode but it’s still a transparency related glitch so I don’t know how we can fix these issues.

Mojave is now installed on my oldest Mac --- MacBook Pro 13" mid-2009.

Thanks to everyone's efforts here, primarily by @dosdude1 and his patch app (.1b5), Mojave is now running on a Core 2 Duo, Nvidia 9400 based Mac.

Regards and Thanks.

Edit: just saw post that the latest Mojave Patch App version is now 0.1b6

Testing so far looks good on this very old (MacBookPro5,5) Mac.
Couple of issues:
  • Trackpad --- clicking works, but not dragging (command, keep trackpad pushed, and use pointer - such as screenshot selection)
  • Built in camera not recognized. i.e when using FaceTime. (no big deal, since this device is always on clamshell mode.
Also, how do I test or confirm that graphics acceleration is working?

Regards and Thanks.

Since Sierra, AMD drivers for GCN cards (7xxx, R9-2, R9-3, RX cards) needs SSE4.2, that MacPro 2008 Xeons do not have.

I'm confused. Did you mean High Sierra? I'm typing this to you using such a card in Sierra and it has worked great out of the box.
 
Multiple peoples confirmed that a version for High Sierra is working fine with Mojave.
Thx!

Sorry, High Sierra onwards. I’ve corrected there.

Hi dosdude1 thank you for your big support. I used your last patch updater and I am running macos mojave beta 2 so I would like to update to beta 3. If I use your new patch updater, is it possible to update mojave beta 2 to mojave beta 3? Regards

Best way is a clean install.

I don't have that Mac so I can't test touchpad stuff, but try replacing some multitouch or USB kexts perhaps?

For the camera, did you try replacing IOUSBFamily.kext as I suggested in an earlier post?

Simple checks -- transparent menu bar/dock, Launchpad working without extreme lag, ripples around widgets when adding to Dashboard. But if it feels responsive, you're probably good.
 
up and running on my MacBook Pro 5,4 so if there is anything I can do to help anyone...please let me know! BIG thanks to @dosdude1 and everyone else involved in this project!!!

There is usually a new version of Safari at least once per year. Current version 11.1 is out now and version 12 is in a separate Developer Preview.

12 will most likely be out on High Sierra and Mojave, and maybe Sierra by this fall. I am not sure if Safari 12 will be on El Cap.

Safari 12 DP installed itself on my 10.12.6 and completely broke Quick Look (Finder just crashes)
