Slice Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have to Interrupt because for some reason the forums won't let me create a new topic. I'd like to know where is Clover up to in development? What can it do and what is planned? Questions, 1) Can Clover now at this point be configured to boot directly to an OS set in a Start Up Disk Control Panel rathert than painfully forcing the system to run into Clover, force user to select OS and then boot? This wastes too much time if a user uses 1 OS 90% of the time and occasionally boots to another OS. 2) Does Clover finally provide the same hold down 'Option' key to select boot OS like Apples Boot Picker? Is this ever going to be possible or something the Clover team will eventually provide the functionality? Really just want to use OSX on standard PC hardware but have the flexibility to boot between OS's as easily as a Mac. thanks 1. Yes. It is already here. 2. No. Key pressed must be recognized by your BIOS and inform to Clover what key is pressed. It doesn't happen because it is not Mac EFI BIOS.

liujianwei Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have used legacy clover and press F2 to save preboot.log,press F4 to save original (OEM) ACPI tables,press F6 to save videoBIOS,but is it possible to press a key to save motherboard BIOS by clover?Sorry for my nonsense.

No. It is possible in Windows for some desktop and the procedure is too complex. How to use random theme in clover??? is it working.........

Micky1979 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Our guys make own .xml file but rename it to .zml. It can be put in the same place as native .xml. Then instruct Clover to patch AppleHDA binary to use .zml instead of .xml. That's all. All updates will never replace your zml file. Clover's driver VBoxHFS.efi understands symlinks if you want. I just didn't catch the idea. As well the problem with AppleHDA has 6 years history beside me. I am using VoodooHDA. Well, intresting, I can provide additional patch like that: Comment: layout%ld.xml.zlib to layout%ld.zml.zlib: Name: AppleHDA Find: 6C 61 79 6F 75 74 25 6C 64 2E 78 6D 6C 2E 7A 6C 69 62 Replace: 6C 61 79 6F 75 74 25 6C 64 2E 7A 6D 6C 2E 7A 6C 69 62 Comment: Platforms.xml.zlib to Platforms.zml.zlib Name: AppleHDA Find: 50 6C 61 74 66 6F 72 6D 73 2E 78 6D 6C 2E 7A 6C 69 62 Replace: 50 6C 61 74 66 6F 72 6D 73 2E 7A 6D 6C 2E 7A 6C 69 62 Just looked at the binary and I think I have found what I need, Is correct? EDIT should be This also should not break the code signature... Thanks to pointing me to this trick, credits goes to at least for the idea?

Slice Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 abxite http://applelife.ru/...06/#post-353647 Correct. Anyway you may have a fault with this method if new AppleHDA will not understand a structure of old xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Freeman has done some tests about, here: #17 And I think that this is better, maintaining compatibility with old kexts by replacing only ".xml".

blackosx Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Looks like Clover is drawing the embedded theme but on the wrong background. What version of Clover are you using? Do you have any themes in /EFI/CLOVER/Themes ? Can you supply the boot.log to see what's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 why idea why this happen when selecting random theme from clover I had the same issue when messing with the CPU BUS speed value in Clover.

Fljagd Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 hi, when I OC my cpu to 4.7 GhzI put my CPU frequency 4700 in the config.plistbut it indicates 4.3 Ghz in About this MAC Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 why idea why this happen when selecting random theme from clover I know this issue. It happens when absent theme is chosen but somehow embedded theme is not used. Like embedded theme is not embedded but external absent. We should track the issue...

frankiee Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Slice, what about giving more feedback about Kernel patching in the log? I.e. not only logging when there is an apparent error (for example length mismatch) but also indicating if the kext to patch and the search data was actually found and if the patch was successfully applied. This could surely help with debugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
