When new update comes it just changes back to italian for some of the things in launchpad. Folder other text changes to Tolido or something and i had rename that. In finder tags are in italian. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk this is very strange, i don't know why it does this, maybe there is something else wrong in your system configuration, and i ill also check for tinu, but for now you can try if it happens if you use an installer usb drive made with the terminal method, but i can guaratee that in the code used in tinu there isn't nothing which will force a specific language, so to find out why this happens we have only to make a lot of tests to check if it's tinu releated or system related and why it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITzTravelInTime Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 this issue could also be related to your nvram settings, so reset your nvram and try to boot without the nvram clover driver to see if it does pick up englesh or other languages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk but are you using an usb installer made with other methods for the ryzen system rigth? because normally installers made with tinu are restricted to the vanilla kernel, because tinu does use the command line method to create the usb installer, and then does only apply some few cosmetical customizations to create an usb installer with the default settings.

Yandesk disk URL link don't work!!!! language in the config.plist tells to the nvram to use a specific language like is done on a real mac, and also tinu uses the vanilla command line method so it's vanilla, if you do not belive me take a look at the source code in the github repo, specifically into the InstallingViewController.swift file.

ITzTravelInTime Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 a new pre-release shortly coming, here are some of the changements: 1ST screenshot, introduced a new button in the first screen of the app 2ND screenshot, the screen for choosing the usb drive, when no usb drives are detetcted, now has a new button that will take you to a new screen 3RD screenshot a new screen for the app, that will appear when you click on the new button showed in the 2ND screenshot, this new screen contains some info that could help you in case your usb drive is not detected by tinu and tinu by default does hides the boot drive entirely so on most machines with 1 drive ot will show that screen, for example , when no usb drives are plugged into the computer, but in case of multiple drives, it will detect them too (the boot drive will be always hidden), but i will find way to include an info button somehere to let you see all those tricks and tips or to let you see all the drives in tinu, but to have some of them marked as not usable with tinu, because they do not satisfy the requirements, it's a thing i still have to decide 4TH screenshot, i have slightly modified the final screen of the app 5TH screenshot, you can see that i have used a new icon for the final screen in case of failure, which is more coherent with all the other icons, and remeber that in case of any error or failure tinu will let you know instaead of being locked or blocked in stange loops, even if it takes it does works during that time 6TH screenshot, new icon for the notifications as well in case of failure, and when the tinu process ends it will always send you a notification there are slso other things changed, for example instead of using anindeterminate progressbar, i am now using a spinner, the progress bar will come back after the process is no longer in an indeterminate state, and also some changements, like bug fixes and some changements to make more efficient some things. Asi i said pre release and update source code available shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi All work fine as usual Thanks On my system, Install macOS High Sierra.app is in subfolder of downloads folder.

ITzTravelInTime Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) ok, i have done a small missplacement leaving a debug variable on in the last pre-release, and that causes the app to always fail the usb creation process, so i have fixed it quickly, here is the fixed one download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nvzss51qcieynve/TINU.zip source code: https://github.com/ITzTravelInTime/TINU/tree/development Edited April 1, 2018 by ITzTravelInTime 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al6042 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi, would you be so kind to add a function in which a user would be able to point to the directory in which the macOS-Install-app resides?

ITzTravelInTime Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was thinking about a new idea for the "boot files replacement" feature of tinu 2, for those which don't know what is it, it's basically a feature which allows you to replace boot files present into the bootable usb thumb drive with custom ones (note that this features work only with bootfiles and system files which are not into the basesystem.dmg, or other dmgs) so because of that you may need to have those boot files replaced once you have installed macOS, so i was thinking to let tinu to create automatically an .sh or a .command file in the root of the usb installer, to let you to easily replace that files you chosse to replace into the usb installer. into the installed system too, so when you have finished to install mac os, without booting the new macOS for the first time, you can instead boot into the usb installer and execute the script and one it has finished you can boot you fresh mac os install with the selected boot files replaced, this could be very helpfoul especially with beta versions of mac os which do not have a working kext injection with clover so you can simply use a modded kernelcache and then have it in your installed system or with particular machines which does needs to swap files like platformsupport.plist or the kernelcache, so what do you think about that? how could this be better implemented? there is also the need to change the boot files for the send phase of the installer after the system reboot, so i have to implement that too if i do this, so let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
