I confirm that Intel HD Graphics 4000 is working perfectly with patch-root on macOS Monterey 12.5
Other than some random shut downs while sleeping at night and unable to get TotalFinder working due to conflicting SIP values, everything has been pretty smooth 👍
I left the graphics acceleration enabled for battery use, but disabled for power adapter since I want the full graphics despite power consumption.
Only real settings I have messed with is change when the screensaver starts and sleeps after x amount of time.
Yes, Logic Pro works perfectly on MacBook Air 2012, GPU Intel HD Graphics 4000 (patch-root OCLP 0.4.5)
well I'm selling my iMac 2012 before the prices drop like a bomb - treat myself to a new MacBook Pro M2 13" with Touch Bar. Before you all say "Should have got the M2 Air" the local retailer did not have any Air's in stock at the spec I wanted (M2 with 512GB SSD) but they did have the pro - gave me a £100 discount and the deal was done.
I love this, love the design, its what I'm used too and best of all the missus hasn't noticed the difference yet... result.
I hope the devs of OCLP get the Kepler cards working in the future but for me, my journey, and its been a fun ride, is over. My 2015 MBP still works perfectly so not sure what to do with this yet.
However, one thing I did discover is that TimeMachine backups are amazing things.... who knew

I rashly went ahead and installed 12.5 on a 10,1 rMBP w/OCLP 047. I "keplered" it big time. First the boot login loops, then it started hanging on the black apple screen with the progress bar.
I had a USB key with a Monterey 12.0 beta-something installer package on it. Booted it, erased the internal drive in Disk Utility and installed 12.0 beta so I could at least get logged back in.
Then downloaded the 12.4 installer from the Apple site (link provided by Mr McIntosh's site), upgraded to 12.4 and re-downloaded OCLP 047 which I then built, rebooted and applied the post install patches. Time Machine seems to have worked well for restoring most of the apps and all of the data.
To cut a long story short I got it back. If you're running a Kepler dGPU I strongly recommend waiting until the OCLP devs have got a handle on the Kepler issue.

Did the same
as my 12.4 install was corrupted and needed some attention anyway, but with OCLP 0.4.9. It is working, but as others have reported, with issues in some apps whenever the OS calls for the keppler graphics. Like in photos app that only yields a black screen on launch. Ah well. Will probably go back to 12.4..

i got the update for 12.5 and i am on 12.4 will that fix the issue i am having with safri crashing when i use twitter and will it fix photo booth not working. i am using a 2012 macbook pro. i notice when i boot the computer it goes into recovery mode with options to click the utily disk. once i click the utility disk it boots into the computer
Guys a little help.
I got the notification to upgrade to 12.5 but I don't want to (I have a kepler GPU).
How can I stop it from updating to 12.5 when I restart or shutdown the iMac?
I have now gone to "advanced settings button" and unchecked all boxes. Is there anything else I have to do?

You are on the right track (but in a language incomprehensible to me in your screenshot, Greek?): Just de-select the auto update in system settings. If it´s already to too late (update loaded and ready to install after next reboot), you can look into /Library/Updates and delete what already waits there...
Which version of OCLP are you using? You may want to report it to the developers, so they can figure out what's going on.
Your machine has dual graphic card set up:
"-- an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and an "integrated" Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor that shares system memory, as well as an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam"
It boots via the Intel card; Nvidia will work ( in some fashion) once machine is booted, but Monterey 12.5 > beta 2 will fail to boot machines which have only the kepler card, e.g., iMac 13,2
Others with dual graphic systems, much as yours, reported success.
Hope this helps.
hi guys, tried the discord with no luck: I already patched my mac with OCLP, now happily running 12.4; not sure if it’s safe to update to 12.5 and if there’s a new procedure (other than the usual system Software Update)?
my specs:
thanks in advance

So I'm getting a software update to macOS 13 - Ventura Beta 2 😳
Yah I don't think I'm ready or my machine is ready/able to run that 😂

Playing with the photo app bug (obvious fix) but if you maximise photos then force it to nvidia graphics you can still use it you can make it smaller won’t crash but will still crash if you try to maximise again a easy fix to make it large while using nvidia you ask? Using the mouse to make it larger by dragging the window bigger will work allowing you to use photos normally actually changing the size with the mouse now means photos will open to the last size you made it automatically.
Update: got annoyed with 12.5 used micropatcher as suggested to keep data and roll back to 12.4 worked perfectly but photos then caused a black screen after downgrade keeping all data. Fix was to re install OCLP 0.4.8 for me I’ll keep my Mac Pro 2014 till at least big sur is unsupported I can update Ventura namely the only issue with both now is the graphics everything else works as it should.

macOS Mojave boot is faster, everything else macOS Monterey is faster, the slow boot is because of patch-root to bring graphics acceleration back to GPU
That's not the whole story. The rMBP 10,1 I use has dual graphics cards and it sure doesn't work with Monterey 12.5 due to the Kepler issue. Your post implies that if you have dual gpus it will run 12.5. That is clearly not the case.
I can confirm this. Monterey runs exceptionally well on my i7 2012 mini.
I understand your concern for potential misunderstanding, but my post refers to specific individual and a machine;
I referenced that "... others have reported success ..." with similar machines, and did not state "everyone" had success.
It seem as if Apple deliberately targeted Kepler cards (it is just a supposition) installed in many iMacs. The dual Nvidia graphic cards in my 2009 MacBook Pro 5,2 work perfectly with Monterey 12.5 RC.
A lot of vague supposition there. Plus you say 12.5 'works perfectly' in your m/c. That's not what you said a few posts back.
Here are the facts: If you have a Kepler series gpu in your machine you would be wise to stay on 12.4 macOS pending word from Dortania. I will be following the OCLP devs' advice : https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/tag/0.4.9
