Come on, @Tockman ... Clearly the friend refers to both Monterey and version 12.6. How do you think of separating them?... Do we want to clog the Forum?... Just answer him an

[Obviously, to joke with you, I'm also clogging up the Forum
]Dear @Giovamille959, I love @dosdude1 too, but his post you refer to is from a long time ago.
So, I doubt @dosdude1 will continue to develop a patcher for Monterey, not least because macOS Ventura has now been released. And since then, OCLP has been vastly improved.
Surely you are 😁[Obviously, to joke with you, I'm also clogging up the Forum
This picture says it found the installer in your Applications folder, meaning it’s already an installer you had on your machine. Try deleting that from the apps folder and see if it will let you download the newer 12.5.1 installer.
What has been changed, added or even deleted in this RC? Has anyone seen better networking, including more reliable network access?
Weird issue with OCLP post-install root patches. Applying them causes TotalFinder to throw the "Apple Events cannot be delivered" error message.
Post-root patch:
What in these 3 patches would cause that?
Pre-root patch:
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Did you make sure to disable SIP? SIP needs to be disabled fully for using totalfinder iirc
SIP settings aren't an issue as I am still booted into macOS with OCLP SIP settings. In any case, per the BinaryAge dev,
OCLP by default has Unrestricted_FS and Unauthenticated_ROOT on my machine, I'm simply adding Task_for_PID
Regardless, I have already tried fully disabling SIP in both the GUI and TUI versions of OCLP. Reset NVRAM, rebooted etc etc. The only way to have TF show up is to revert the post-install root patches. Again for my machine.
But do you really need "Total Finder" to prefer it to a new and well protected OS, ie macOS Monterey that works well thanks to OCLP, even if your Mac is not supported?…
And then there is someone in the Forum who has doubts about the security of OCLP...
In my case, in a Mac Mini M1, yes. I have sip disabled, and minimum security, so I can run Total Finder. Also sip disabled in my Mac Pro 5,1 Monterey OCLP.But do you really need "Total Finder" to prefer it to a new and well protected OS, ie macOS Monterey that works well thanks to OCLP, even if your Mac is not supported?…

I have gone this far on a unsupported mac, and at this point it's not really about the NEED. It's more of the why isn't it working, with what appear to be basic patches?But do you really need "Total Finder" to prefer it to a new and well protected OS, ie macOS Monterey that works well thanks to OCLP, even if your Mac is not supported?…
And then there is someone in the Forum who has doubts about the security of OCLP...
I have "Total Finder" with regular license and so far I have not installed it to avoid overloading the System.
As for SIP, I was convinced that just to use a "curated" "Total Finder" it was necessary to disable SIP and I suspected you tried using a "curated" copy. Unfortunately, however, I have just visited the official site and I discovered, reading the Instructions, that even the original and "untreated" "Total Finder" requires the deactivation of the SIP.
At this point I regret having purchased the License and it remains a mystery to me how it is possible to sell and use software that alter an important function of System and that perhaps jeopardize security, in exchange for actions that can be done in another way...
I have macOS Monterey 5.1 installed on my cMP 5,1 (using OCLP 4.11 nightly) - specs below.
Although OCLP ensures I can through System Preference switch on Voice Control>speech recognition to activate dictation without triggering an AVX kernel panic it has introduced a considerable delay after speaking before text appears. The delay is for 2 minutes: 32 seconds; this renders dictation not practical.
I had reported a similar delay with macOS 12.4 (due to the performance loss from the VMM flag when VMM flag is switched on) and its fix (on another thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/post-31124806 ). When it was switched off the delay disappeared.
My question is, is there something I need to switch off in my config.plist generated with this OCLP installation to allow dictation without the delay? Or anything else I need to do to remove the delay
Thanks

Mac Pro 5, 1 mid-2012. After success with OCLP 4.10 on my startup drive (NVMe PCIe) I tried to clone it to my internal SATA SSD, using SuperDuper. The second drive didn't like that at all, so just repeated the usual OCLP routine with the SATA drive et voila: a bootable working backup drive. Dunno why cloning seems not to work with a patched drive copying to a fresh unspoiled SSD — settings, perhaps? Next task is to install a new NVMe drive and give it the OCLP treatment. Will use Migration Assistant or just drag my files across to the new drive. I'll take notes and post the results.
Not settings, it is deeper in AFPS and the way the macOS system volume uses it (sealed), as far as I understand. It‘s the same with CCC which I use instead of SuperDuper.
CCC doc says the APFS replication utility ("ASR") won‘t copy the system volume alone and leave the data volume intact. CCC thus chose to make data-only clones normally, and erase left-over systems. SuperDuper may do the same.
So your procedure of installing with OCLP after cloning was quite right…
In CCC there is an option to clone both system and data, which makes sense if cloning to an empty drive.

I never had or needed to run too many things, but TF has never overloaded my system, it's a pretty small footprint.
Posted earlier about the active dev stating about only having partially disabled SIP. She's (@akemin_dayo) working on a updated version that addresses some issues. You can follow along on the forum HERE (hopefully that hotlink is ok?)
It is unfortunate that many people have bought it before they discontinued service. It does happen as developers can't predict how system updates can effect their product. Fortunately for me, I had many years of service of TF before this. It is considered freeware now, the OG developer @darwin has posted the license name / key HERE.
I've stopped worrying about security on my machine years ago, yah crap can happen, I'm just cautious. But the devs have always tried to bring TF in a way to try and maximize security as much as possible. Just like OpenCore. It's a balance of security and function. Sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesn't.
