The ghosts are gone but Catalyst scrolling not as smooth as that iPhone but still very useful. 12 year old Macs remain hardware deficient. No patch for that.

Thank you for the APFS ROM patch, which I successfully applied to my MBP4,1. on Big Sur 11.6.2
In OCLP 0.3.2 TUI OFFLINE I did the following steps:
1. Re-Built OpenCore
2. Re-Installed OpenCore to internal drive
6. Installer Creation with Monterey 12.1 on external USB, patched OpenCore to the drive's EFI
I could n o t find the RDRAND patch, I went through all settings twice.
With Verbose mode enabled, I booted into the Monterey external USB installer, after about 30mins. automatic reboot, stuck with black screen after a few lines of verbose code.
Rebooted from internal SSD, back into Big Sur 11.6.2.
Deleted the macOS Install data leftovers from System.
Where is the RDRAND patch located within OpenCore-Patcher?
What am I missing?
Not needed for 12.1 release - was only necessary for first Beta of 12.1 and may come back later....
Ok. Thanks for the info. Can you interprete the info I posted on the unsuccessful upgrade attempt from 11.6.2 to 12.1, as per my post #3,506
Best thing, however, would be advice on how to perform the upgrade successfully. Can you help?
iMac 12,2 OCLP 0.3.2 12.1. All working great after system patch but still some graphical artifacts.
You may have to install OCLP_031 for OTA to work? Also 12.1 is up on gibMacOS-master in case you want to use a USB2 installer to update w/createinstallmedia.
All worked like charm. Not a single problem. OCLP 0.3.1

Hi everyone. In my iMac 27” 14,2 I had returned from Monterey to Catalina, as I had grown tired of the various changes of Apple, in the Beta updates, with continuous malfunctions, problems and bugs.
In the meantime, since I returned to Catalina, I have also returned happy and peaceful ...
I kindly ask, now, if anyone can tell me if with macOS 12.1 and the new spoofing method introduced by OCLP 0.3.2 (as well as with the Kepler patch for the nVidia GPU) my iMac 27" 14,2 (Late 2013 ) will work flawlessly again in everything, as worked perfectly full with OCLP and Big Sur, exactly as a supported Mac.
Thank you

Update: After about 1hour and 45 minutes, finished the installation. Next step, Post install patches.
Update: No luck for me. After Patches, it stays in the login screen with the beach ball. Same in Safe boot.
My MBP9,1 is doing very well with 12.1 and 0.3.2.
(OTA failed at some stage, so I prepared a USB pen drive on another Mac - and forgot to set OCLP to MBP9,1, which failed, of course. Strange enough at the same point - black screen, white Apple logo, no remaining time shown, process bar precisely half way. Of course, I should have activated verbose mode and retry to make this information helpful, but I was in a hurry. So just ignore this... Mission accomplished.)

iMac 27" 13,2 late 2012 with OCLP 0.3.1 + Monterey 12.0.1
- Updated to Monterey 12.1
- After finishing install updated to OCLP 0.3.2 (didn't run OCLP 0.3.1 Patch System Volume)
- Reboot and run OCLP 0.3.2 Patch System Volume (and reboot)
Working flawlessly ??

if you are going to install 0.3.2 on an 2011 system having an HD3000 iGPU just follow the instructions.
Spoofless means: OC is not pretending any longer to be a more recent supported mac model, it now claims to be an installation from a virtual machine.
Only 2011 Macs have Sandy Bridge Intel CPU with HD3000 iGPU.
Indeed, Monterey does n o t show in System Preferences>Software Update right now.You may have to install OCLP_031 for OTA to work? Also 12.1 is up on gibMacOS-master in case you want to use a USB2 installer to update w/createinstallmedia.
Here's the current status of my system software Big Sur 11.6.2 on my MBP4,1's internal SSD.
I made the following steps with OpenCore-Patcher TUI 0.3.2 release as of yesterday:
1. Re-Build OpenCore
2. Re-Install OpenCore to internal drive
6. Installer Creation to external USB, all with the current files.
When I look at the protocol of OpenCore-patcher TUI OFFLINE, when
Building and Installing OpenCore to external USB drive intended for installation of Monterey, I can' find that any of the Post-Install Volume Patch is showing.
I boot into OpenCore boot picker>Install Monterey>after 30mins. my MBP4,1 reboots, shows the openCore boot picker again for about 5 secs., then goes into a blank black screen, from where I finally after endless idle waiting (approx 1 hour) I shut the machine off (turns off inmmediately after pressing the ON/OFF button for less than 1 sec.) and rebooted into Big Sur 11.6.2 as before. then I deleted the macOS install data junk of 13.4GB from my System folder via Daisy Disk.
Now, I'm stuck.
Are you suggesting to re-install OpenCore 0.3.1 to my Big Sur installation, and then update from there, IF Monterey 12.1 is showing up, at all?
Specific advice would be most welcome, as I am for 2 days now trying to get the job done, to no avail so far

Hello. I have a MacBookPro11,3 working flawlessly with Monterey. I tried to update yesterday to 12.1 trough System Update (a big 11Gb download, as expected), and after reboot and install of the post-update patches, my system says that I'm still at 12.0.1, and System Update says that there is no new update ?. Anyone knows what is happening? Thanks.
So, which options must I choose? Minimal? Moderate? Advanced? Excuse my ignorance, please.
