macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

Sorry to ask Pachnes but where is "Data protection and Security" in OCLP or MacOS Sequoia?
Then it's not applicable for your system and will be enabled by default, the systems are listed in that FAQ link.
Thanks, just upgraded. FeatureUnlock is switchable from enable to partial to disabled, but still greyed out for medianalysisd, so as you said probably not applicable for my system. I will recheck the FAQ.
Now just have to decide whether to re-enable FeatureUnlock, or not.
If I want to re-enable the FeatureUnlock, will I need to rebuild the EFI disk and root patches and then reboot, or is turning on the switch in the drop down sufficient?
Thanks so much!

OpenCore rebuild is needed, as all settings (except non-Metal things and App tab settings) are applied to the OpenCore bootloader. Root patching is not needed when changing settings.Thanks, just upgraded.

Thanks for that @Neon Ball, I had vaguely assumed that and it's good to have it confirmed.
But I'll probably still reapply the root patches anyway, having gotten in the habit of doing so...

I have a new(to me) 27 Imac, Late 2015 Skylake, 2.1/15.1
Yesterday when OCLP told me to reboot and hold the option button I was offered the choices on the second image, I went with the first one.
When I first started with the new Imac a couple of weeks ago the internal HD was wiped clean, and is now a back up to an SSD with Time Machine. An SSK 500GB SSD now has the only operating system, Sequoia 15.1. Info was transferred from the Imac 27, Late 2012 with Sequioa by Time Machine.
Why are there 2 EFI boots, does it matter which one I picked, are they both the same can one be eliminated.
When I press the startup button after the gong an Apple logo appears, then a disk image, then the Apple logo and eventually the progress bar, is there a way to eliminate the disc image and speed up login. There is only one operating system on an external SSD, unlike with the 2012 Ivy Bridge when I had Sequoia and Catalina on the same internal HD. The system is operating fine as far as I can tell.

What options do you get from bootpicker? What machine are you using? Is your keyboard active?
Reboot.
Hold Alt.
See what options the boot picker gives you.
Select the right efi and volume. Hold Shift and press enter. Keep holding Shift until login screen appears. Login. Run the latest patcher again.
Hi @ronton3
You can reduce the disk image appearance time to 1s instead of 5s (default) by modifying the config.plist file (after the post-installation patch).
Code:
<key>Misc</key>
<dict>
...
<key>Boot</key>
<dict>
<key>Timeout</key>
<integer>1</integer>OR
Directly before patching with OCLP:
Settings —> Boot Picker Timeout
So then that probably was the WindowServer process crashing upon first login only - quite strange indeed, maybe something wrong with the root patches...
May search for OCLP source.md direct links are not welcome for nightlies, then read and you'll find, it's recommend when you know what you're doing. 2.1.1n n is for nightly - good luck.
Hi, it seems that localspeechrecognition is broken on some unsupported Macs, such as the 2012 MacBook Pro with older CPUs.
Does localspeechrecognition work for you?
To verify this, turn on Siri via Preferences or enable Dictation in Keyboard Preferences. Wait until the download of the local speech model files is complete, then try using Siri or Dictation to input text.
Siri or Dictation may work while the download is still in progress, but once it’s finished, Siri or Dictation stops working, it’s due to localspeechrecognition being broken.
Hi,
The distpicker give me this :
I select EFI Boot and the comes the same without the EFIs.
I press shift and select second.1 (with 15.0, OCLP 2.1.0)
four.1 is my backup with 14.7.0, OCLP 2.1.0.
Hello. I haven't done any install since Catalina. I got MBP 2012 mid and going to install Sequioa but I would like to try it on 2010 MBP as well. Can I install it on Externall drive and them put in 2010 MBP a do some patching? I would avoid hasle with USB1 issue on that old mac.
Assuming the patch was done on all volumes using 2.1.0 I’d choose the internal drive. Hold and keep!! holding shift while selecting the internal drive to boot from. See where that leads you.
The internal runs with Monterey but without OCLP, I use it only for data rescue.
Thanks for this suggestion, which along with disabling Spotlight for USB sticks made it possible to build the spoofed (MM7,1 to 8,1) installer. The installer ran and sure enough the Universal Control settings appeared in Displays - Advanced at the first boot from the installer USB so things seemed good, BUT after installing OLCP to the MM internal SSD so as to boot without USB, they were gone again!
Gave up at that point.
Okay, thank you for that. I was not certain about the root patches but that makes sense....
Hey all, I bought one of these for my iMac to be able go beyond 1 gig connections both locally and online: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CWV2Q6HJ. Will this cause any issues with open core installs since it's not Apple suplied hardware? It works out of the box in Monterey, but Monterey is the last officially supported version. I was just curious since there isn't a lot of talk about dongles here on patched macs unless maybe it's Bluetooth maybe.

As someone looking for a replacement / fix for the Apple thunderbolt 2 > ethernet dongle's intermittent drop-outs occurring after Monterey I hope you get some replies. $25 sounds good to me if it works.
