This requires you to modify the C code yourself, then compile it, and the icon has to be found or drawn by yourself！

When you press System, you try to boot on EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64 instead of macOS

If I'm not mistaken, there's a little bug that needs some TLC.  I did a security update on Mojave and upon reboot it appeared as a 2nd Recovery option and not as Mac OS Install. I verified it by booting Clover and the Official release of OC. ( Both showed the MacOS Install ).

I've recommended your version to many people, but recently some people have reported using a new version with a Gui The auto default function is invalid , and the last startup entry isn't remembered in the menu list, but I have been updating myself and haven't found this problem, is there anything wrong with it?

I just checked, everything works properly on my system. If "AllowSetDefault" is set to false, Last boot entry is remembered; if it is set to true, the startup disk chosen in the system preferences is picked. Last update of OC was done yesterday.

So this is wrong behaviour - OC boot OC ??

This is nonsense _ and not work.

How hide this entry ?

It is possible ?

Why no one have this entry in boot menu, only me ?

I am sure I haven't touched the Oc auto scanner code, whatever it found it's what i used, and I didn't change any name regarding recovery at all. It shouldn't be any different regarding recovery entry name between this fork and official.

I reproduced the error during ( this time ) the update to Catalina 10.15.3. the error does not pertain to recovery but the lack of MacOs Install. i had to reboot several times before starting the install to verify. Same 2 OC version releases ( Official + NDK ) from yesterday with each EFIs on separate drives.  Mac OS install appear on the Official release of OC ( & Clover ) but not on yours. Only differences in configs are hidden entries & ACPI quirk. I think the second icon of recovery is from the Catalina Mac OS installer  but the option for the actual installer is missing. Can anyone else confirm this bug? Thank you.
AllowSetDefault is set to false ( Last entry remembered ).

Anyone who have a custom entry set for macOS, disable that custom entry before running the update then macOS Installer would show up instead Custom entry name.

Disable CleanNvram.efi?

[dani77zg]

Hi NDK. First of all, thank you for your work and for sharing it. Second, would you please incorporate fixses from the Opencore main branch into your release (Fixed locating DMG recovery in APTIO IV firmwares on FAT32)? https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/master/Changelog.md

How about add below code to the selection list inside OcSimpleBootMenu? You'd need to add one more icon named "os_installer.icns" to the icon folder. (Would this be best under "case OcBootApple:", or under "case OcBootCustom:" ?)

 

(For my own use, I've added extra code in this same section to better distinguish OS on NVMe vs SATA drives as the SATA drives contain my backup copies; one just has to be careful in how one names the actual drives, like "CaBkUp" or "MoBkUp" in accordance with how the search is implemented.)

 

      } else if (StrStr (Name, L"Installer") != NULL) {
        FilePath = L"EFI\\OC\\Icons\\os_installer.icns";

Yes.

Look for my boot menu ( after press  ESC button ) see att.

This is not normal behaviour.

BTW This is results boot process from my nvme disk, not usb stick.

It is normal for mis-configured system.   Please, if you really need help, at least post your log and config.plist, so others can point you to the right direction, and update your system profile, so people know what system you have.  Don't just post some random comment and expect other to help.

I got my hand full with other stuffs, these are low priority. I am sure the whole GUI boot picker are wrapped up in that one single file pretty simple enough, if someone want to add something useful, feel free to post and I will not ignore suggestion.

Sorry, you right.

See my config.plist and log (debug version can't boot to end), is stopping, so my log isn't completly.

You have ScanPolicy set to 0, set it to default value from sample.plist will make it go away.  And your config.plist is not up to date, check your sample config.plist and compared.
