https://github.com/rmc-team/bluesky/releases/tag/1.4.2 if you are good using the terminal follow Julian's instructions here@TimothyR734
oh .. that's very good !! how did you do that .. please tell it to me,
I like it very much, I would like to have it like this
there is a new Xtrafinder 1.5.1 which also makes the icons on the left side in color
try installing using the Catalina Patcher using the Install to this Machine method
I do things different as I am not good using the terminal but I have instructions on page 180 but use the newest version of BlueSky Patches which is 1.4.2
Apple knows how to utilize planned obsolescence to devalue many older but still perfectly usable Macs. Unfortunately for them, people here are committed to keeping these old Macs going.
This is a bug I've seen with Mojave and Catalina installed on Metal-unsupported Macs. Not sure why this happens but for me the fix is to simply use dark mode (bug only affects light mode).
Exactly when do you hold down Command-Option-R in the install process?
I hadn't applied the BlueSky patches at that time
Use the Catalina Patcher and use Install to this Machine method it does work I have never tried making an ISO image then once you have installed the Catalina GM then you can try making a Cat usb patcher I was successful after I installed the GMSame here
I've never had backlight on my mbp 4,1 with Catalina. I think kext is not present. The keyboard backlight work with Mojave.
I believe you would hold down Command-Option-R as the computer was turning on before starting the install process. This starts up the computer from the Recovery Partition instead of your main hard drive, allowing you to do things like repartition or reformat your hard drive. You would modify the hard drive in any ways you needed to before starting installation, because most of the modifications you can do would erase the data within that partition.
Had this error recently when running the patcher on Catalina itself. Then tried the same constellation (installer version, macOS Catalina installer version, external disk) on Mojave and viola, it worked without this error. Might be some bug in the patcher tool...
It's not an issue with the patcher tool, it's an issue with Catalina Developer Preview 8. Apple screwed up something in ASR in DP8, which causes the error when restoring BaseSystem. The "Install to This Machine" option is not affected by this issue.
Try building the drive again, and using a different USB drive if possible.
Just create your drive using any version of macOS that is NOT Catalina DP8. DP8 had a bug with ASR, where it would falsely report an error. If you MUST use DP8 to create the drive, you can follow the steps found here to patch Catalina Patcher to bypass that error check. The "Install to This Machine" option is not affected by this issue, so you can use that as well.
Mine is a nice, streamlined GUI, and is completely automated, while Julian's is a command-line based patcher that is designed for more experienced users. It also supports the MacBook4,1, which I do not support with my patcher due to the very poor hardware support, and very poor performance you'll experience when running anything later than OS X 10.8 on the MacBook4,1.
