Ok, as SavageAUS suggested, make a backup of your current config and try the one he posted.

 

I cleaned your config even more than he did, so we can start real fresh.

 

NOW, one thing you should know is that Clover supports booting from specific config.plist. And you can select it in Clover UI.

So, let's say you want to make a backup of your current config and you can't boot with the new one.

Since you renamed your current config let's say config_bkp.plist, Clover will not boot from it by default. But you can still select it at Clover UI Settings!

 

Ooor, you can do it the other way around and keep your config.plist as default, and make your tests with the new config which you can name config2.plist or something. And of course, you will need to select THAT ONE at boot.

 

Now, I cleaned your config and it might look a little bit too clean. But that's ok. We can add everything back one by one. That's not a problem.

 

Anyway, you have my version of your config attached.

config.plist.zip

 

As I said. If KP on boot, then just boot from the other config using Clover's settings. You can select the other config on boot.

And how do I do that or how to install the second config.plist, and how to choose from what to boot, in clover options or what?

Once Clover UI is displayed, use your left-right arrow keys to go to the Settings icon (looks like a cog). Go there, go to Config, select the config you want to boot from, then go to Return and boot normally from your OS partition.

I'll try to take some screenshots and show you exactly what I mean. But I think you'll be able to find it on your own.

 

Instead of selecting directly the boot drive, make a detour through Clover Settings first, select the config you want to use -> Return, then boot.

Inside your clover folder in your EFI partition you have your config.plist, if you place another one in there, say config-1.plist and reboot. You can then at your clover boot screen either press spacebar (or on the second row choose options - i cannot remember which it is sorry) on the operating system you wish to boot and choose a different config to boot with.

For information only.
On the hackintosh PC I had a High Sierro 10.13.6.
On the same SSD, he made another partition and loaded the MacOS of Mojave.
Both systems work without error, the clover does not report any errors.

Whoever wants to try, I'm working 100% of both systems.

Also @MorenoAv How come your ioreg displays iMac14,2 when you have iMac15,1 in config.plist

 

Multiple configs... that's how.

One is in Send me iMac-de-AC.lan. And it's for an iMac14,2. Not to mention it's totally different than the one in CLOVER. The other one is in the Send me iMac-de-AC.lan/CLOVER folder and it's for iMac15,1.

@MorenoAv, please, make sure you don't have multiple configs with the same name (config.plist). All your configs should have different names (in case you have more than one) and should ALL be in /CLOVER.

 

You can have different configs with different names in /Clover. But not multiple configs with the same name.

Having a clean system is critical for this to work!

Well, if you only have one, it won't give you any options. Since there is only one.

 

So, here are the options:

1. Either you rename your current/bootable config to something else, such as config_old.plist or config_bkp.plist or something similar, so you know that's the "good" one. Then you use the one I posted above the way it is, meaning with its current name (config.plist) and let Clover boot to it by default (you don't need to select anything in Clover Options for this case). But you will need to go to Clover Options and select config_old.plist in case the new one is not bootable.

2. OOOOR, you keep your good/bootable config with the current/default name and rename the NEW config that I posted to config_test.plist and THEN you will also have the options on Clover Options and you will be able to select config_test.plist for booting.

 

So, the choice is yours. Whichever option you prefer. Just make sure you know exactly which config is your bootable one, and which one is the test one.

 

IF your current config is bootable, then I'd suggest we use option nr 2.

Which means that you will need to download and rename the config I posted above to anything you want. Then use Clover Options to select it.

The Apple iMac18,3 doesn't have the same issue which can be said it's a hack related issue, however the light mode shows a dimmer menu which is because of the transparency of the menus in macOS Mojave as shown in the picture.

The issue can be fixed (or better to say a workaround rather than a fix) by changing the transparency of the menus in System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce transparency

its done config.plist and config_old.plist... and now I'm goin to reboot and see what happens...

 

ok. I've got screenshots too.

So: go to Options -> Configs, select the config you want (press Enter on it), then select Return, then select your boot drive, as usual. That's how you select a custom config.

Ok. So things are really easy.

By default, Clover will boot from “config.plist”.

 

Any other config (such as config2, config_old, config_new or ANYTHING other than “config.plist”) needs to be selected manually as I explained above.

 

Now, config_old is your backup config? And you just downloaded and added the config.plist I posted above (with no rename) to your Clover folder?

 

Ok. Go. That means that the new config is bootable and ready for the next step. Once again, please, don’t touch anything else!

Try other sets of FrequencyVectors. Find one best fits you. ;)

Thanks for the tip! In fact, since I moved from macpro to imacpro in the High Sierra, I no longer needed ssdt pm, freq vector or pmdriver in EFI, but probably with Mojave I have to go back to that! Thank you for your precious help! ;)

Hi friend nmano! Yes, I just deactivated PMheart's original Performance Patch and got what you edited! I already have speedsteps! Thank you! It's stable as I like it. With time I'll do some more tuning... :thumbsup_anim:

Edit: Thanks to you too KGB, good post!

Mojave runs fine on my Optiplex 790, however I'm having issues with light mode. The menu bar and other "overlay" items don't have any transparency, they're just plain grey. Anyone else with this issue? The dock and side panel are okay. Nvidia GT 710 with metal support

This is on my MBP.

And this is on the hack.

I'd say it looks pretty much identical. Aaand...no, I didn't change anything related to transparency in Accessibility. On either one of them.

Yup they appear to be identical. But on my hack the issue is the same with and without WhateverGreen. I have to disable transparency to have clear and bright menus.

Clean install, right? It's weird, cause these are GPUs with OOB support... Anyway, as I said, this could very well be a bug.

Yup I did a clean install and I agree with you it can be a bug or a misconfiguration on my part. I'll do another clean install soon and choose the light mode first and see how it works out.

Yeah, that would be an interesting test. Though, in my case, the sooner I saw the option to switch to Dark Mode, the sooner I clicked it. :))) So...I'm not sure this is something related to which option you clicked first....but I could be wrong. And I'm very curious to know your result, whenever you can. :) 

I'd say maybe....a clean config + only the necessary kexts (especially not the ones for video, to minimise the points of failure) could potentially make a difference...? I don't know.  It's just an idea.  You already tried without WhateverGreen, so...in case there are others...those are the ones I would remove, for this test. Just to have a clean environment. :)

Yeah it's a long shot but worth to try, it shouldn't matter at all which mode is selected first and you're right about it and about the video related kext I didn't use anything since my GPU is supported by macOS I just did a test with WhateverGreen too see if that makes a difference or not which it didn't.

I will defiantly let you know how another clean install works out as soon as I find the time to do another clean install :)
