Regarding previously reported Bluetooth issues on iMac11,3 in macOS 14,2 beta 4: after switching from my Big Sur to my Sonoma volume, I had no audio which never happend before.
So I performed an NVRAM reset from within OC's boot menu and afterward audio was back and so was Bluetooth.
Yay.

When switching between OSs or OCLP versions a NVRAM reset is recommended. 🧐
No problems that I remember, but I used a wired keyboard and mouse. I have a BT mouse with sporatic disconnect problems (which is why I switched to a wired mouse.) I also have a UEBoom speaker I used occassionally with it. AirPlay receiver is a bit flakey, but a reboot fixed that. It's not a feature I use all the time though.
Today I updated to macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 using OCLP's 1.3.0 nightly build (dated November 26).
Result? The result is that now, in my iMac 27-inch 14,2 late 2013, i7 CPU and nVidia GTX780M, everything works, Continuity Camera included and the System is so snappy and fast that I have to chase the mouse cursor, the text I write, ecc...
So, the Mac gives me the impression that runs under my feet... A real lightning bolt like never before!... Parallels Desktop opens Windows 11 Pro in a flash! In short, my Mac is so fast now that I feel like I bought the latest M3
My installation's notes.
1) To install macOS 14.1.2 I downloaded the Apple Installer from the MrMacintosh site.
2) I downloaded and installed OCLP 1.3.0 Nightly version
3) So I downloaded the Kernel Debug Kit directly from the Apple Developer download page and installed it (Note: I discovered that it is the same DMG file that can be downloaded through Dortania KDK support; no difference).
At the same time, I deleted all previous KDK folders that were located in /Library/Developer/KDKs/
4) Then, I restarted the Mac and at the chime I pressed the Option+P+R keys and held them until chime repeated FOUR TIMES. Why four times?... Because I read on Internet that a Mac user wrote that only after finding and executing this trick was he able to actually clean the Mac's NVRAM and completely fix some small problems he had with the Mac that wouldn't go away in any other way..
5) Upon rebooting, I pressed and held the Option key, then enabled OCLP's EFIBoot
6) The Mac then booted up and after logging in I launched the Sonoma Installer and started the installation.
7) In the end, obviously, by installing directly from macOS and not from a USB stick, the Mac restarts in Safe Mode and runs very slowly. We then MUST install the Post Install Patch from the OCLP app, wait for the process to complete and when we are asked to reboot, reboot.
Easier to do than to describe all this.
Enjoy
EDIT
I forgot to point out that unfortunately, when the Mac wakes up from sleep, some icons in the right menu bar disappear.
Obviously the icons reappear by clicking in the empty spaces, with the exception of the Bluetooth icon (mystery...).
But in these cases I prefer to solve the problem by opening the Terminal, typing
and pressing Enter.
I hope the OCLP developers can find the right way to fix this annoying problem

Have you tried searching for ways to run a script when macOS wakes from sleep? Might be a temporary solution and there are multiple ways to do this.
14.2 RC reverting patches again 912mb from last beta, went fine with latest OCLP nightly and log in is ok still once patched . No issues on mid 2014 MacBook Pro .
same machine and experiences like you...but I was also missing window shadows after sleep mode (only in light mode). I'm however still on 1.2.1 and currently deactivated sleep mode and lock screen. By the way, I'm using FileVault.Today I updated to macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 using OCLP's 1.3.0 nightly build (dated November 26).

Okay, I've done so many Open Core and OCLP installs I can't even count them - but the thing that's been freaking killing me has been WiFi issues in Ventura and Sonoma on my older 2012 MacBook Pro units. I've been trying everything I could come up with, tracked down every suggestion I could and nothing worked.
I did a clean install of Sonoma 14.1.1 and it worked out of the gate. Did some setup, installed some apps and then I found it was no longer working. I couldn't connect to WPA+ access points - sometimes they don't show up at all, sometimes they show up but just time out - then it hit me... It all stopped working when I signed in my AppleID. I figured it couldn't be that. But I signed out and BAM wifi all worked fine. Signed back in and it stops working.
Started looking through console and there's a WiFiAgent entry in the crash logs. Once you sign in with AppleID you start to get crashes of "Cloud Sync Engine".
I tried this on a 2013 MacBook Pro that was having the same issues and it did the same thing...
I can't believe I figured out why WiFi stopped working properly on the University eduroam wifi - although not being able to sign in to Apple ID is going to be a no-go for most people. At least with that info maybe there's some hope.
TLDR: On older wifi cards that would use "Modern Wireless" signing in to AppleID breaks WiFi (at least for most authenticated SSID)
Apologies if this has been noted before - I didn't see it through many pages of searching.
UPDATE: Everything still works IF you turn off Keychain syncing. There used to be a way to just turn off WiFi Agent syncing, I'm not seeing that any more. But if you turn off iCloud Keychain (which includes your WiFi passwords and settings) it works fine. I am assuming that it's because the stored settings are attached to a newer standard, like WiFi AC, that isn't supported on the older cards. Once I disabled iCloud Keychain the errors no longer happen and everything was just peachy.

strange...I might have same Macbook like you (see signature). Never had such Wifi issues with any of my machines. Always make sure to have the matching KDKs installed and do NVRAM resets.
Sonoma 14.2 RC (build 23C63) now running fine on my iMac 13,2 using OCLP 1.3.0 N (commit f1210de).
Had a flashing graphics issue after patching, cured with a PRAM reset.

I have found it's dependent on the type of network, especially for authentication. If it's a version of WPA it definitely isn't happy for some reason. WEP and open access points seemed to work okay. But I think most of the people I've seen complaining about it are connecting to a university or large corporate access point. It solved the issue on the 4 machines I had problems with though!
Tried to update to 17.2RC via OTA using 1.3.0n, root patches uninstalled.
As before, incremental software update also fails this time during preparation. It never worked on this 9,2.
Is there another trick to this?
Normal software update. No issues.

iMac11,3: macOS 14.2 (23C63) update and patching with OCLP 1.3.0 worked without issues
Hello @OKonnel - mille grazie for such an exhaustive description how you did the install / of your observations in using your beast. Looking forward to using mine (same machine / specs as you) too as soon as I have time for upgrade.Today I updated to macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 using OCLP's 1.3.0 nightly build (dated November 26).

Question: Are you using Apple Photos for your Media Asset Management? If yes: Is the face detection „fixed“? (the flaw was having mixed faces under the same person)
Thank you,

A question on spoofing if someone has a sec and knows:
I have used spoofing in OCLP for the first time as the serial number is no longer seen by one of my Macs in system settings after a repair (the old GPU needed soldering/reflowing that was on an Apple recall many years ago)
It is an rMBP 10,1 and it appears to work ok now.
iMessages, and some other iCloud services where unavailable until the spoofing but now seem ok.
Anyway:
Are there any gotchas with doing this spoofing that I should be aware of? Can I brick it? ( I think I can

Well, if you spoof a different MBP model, then it's using a different SMBIOS which influences CPU and GPU power movement. Especially on MBP10,x since they use Ivy Bridge CPUs which only support SMC CPU Power Management in macOS instead of XCPM (Haswell and newer). So it would be optimal to resolve the iCloud services situation without having to spoof a newer MBP model.
When you say "spoofing," do you mean that you are specifying your original serial in OC config.plist?
I mean spoofing as it is used in the SMBIOS settings in OCLP. Maybe to be clearer, I should have written I am using "Serial Spoofing" but no "Model Spoofing". Again just using the terms in the OCLP app on the SMBIOS tab.
And wondering if there are any risks I should be aware of.
I'm familiar with serial spoofing with Open Core (happens all the time in the Hackintosh world), but I haven't used the OCLP GUI to do it and am not in a position to test it. Forgive a naive question: When you "spoofed" the serial with OCLP, were you able to specify the serial or did OCLP generate a new one for you? If you specified the serial, did you simply re-use your original serial?
Also, I don't see any way that serial spoofing would brick your Mac.
