Clover General discussion

[JorgeMax]

I apologize friends, but this discussion of what drivers are needed for this or that, has already made me delete some, come back again and I do not use FV2.

Why not separate into the Clover installation options? Type: "UEFI Drivers without FV2" and "UEFI Drivers with FV2"

Thanks

Good idea  But I think, there is a risk of duplication. Some drivers are necessary for FV2 user or not. Drivers descriptions with the mention FV2 seem to me the simplest

@Slice says: "For debugging wake from hibernation there is DumpUefiCalls.efi  driver that compiled together with Clover but not included into release package." It is also normal to not have it

 

Do you use FireVault? If not, do you try to delete AppleKeyAggregator and reboot?

 

No, not using FileValut and never heard of AppleKeyAggregator. How would one debug why ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi cannot find apfs.efi on the system drive? As it seems to me that is the issue given that it boots fine when ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi is replaced with apfs.efi

If your having an issue with ApfsDriverLoader then open a seperate topic but first make sure your using the latest one.

In your previous post, your list mentions AppleKeyAggregator. Right? Also, I wrote "do you try to delete AppleKeyAggregator and reboot?"

 

As @SavageAUS saying: use the latest one and if your having an issue with ApfsDriverLoader, open a topic for your problem

Sorry I didn't realise you meant another .efi file for some reason I thought you were talking about KeyChain oops. Anyway I realise now you meant the AppleKeyAggregator.efi appearing in my file listing and deleting still doesn't fix the problem (of no drives appearing). I will post a thread about this to discuss further and edit this post to include the link. Btw I tried to help by adding entries for all of these new .efi files to the Clover wiki page on them but sadly the Google login is broken.

 

edit: link to seperate topic on my issue

Here attaching the origin buildpkg.sh

mod with two more choice 

line 1034 # build FileVault2UEFI packages

line 1061 # build FileVault2 packages

you need  this command before build packages

and your only made a script to move all drivers in place or doing this manually

NOTE; you have FileVault2 drivers in Drivers-Off and mandatory Drivers

mkdir -p ~/src/UDK2018/Clover/CloverPackage/CloverV2/drivers-Off/FileVault2UEFI

mkdir -p ~/src/UDK2018/Clover/CloverPackage/CloverV2/drivers-Off/FileVault2

maibe dev or coder doing the rest to make a script because I can not post here my script because my package is different of the one on SF

 

This is what its like finish

I confirm that without any FileVault Drivers the boot on APFS is much faster. The trim is activate in addition

CORRECTION TYPO IN FILE

[chris1111]

I confirm it after moving to macOS Mojave on my main SSD of my HP ProBook 6570B

The boot on an APFS SSD Trim enabler activate is much faster (twice as fast) 
having no FileVault Drivers

Here are my UEFI drivers
Note I use the last drivers apfs.efi from Mojave 10.14 (18A389)

Clover compile in Mojave 10.14 (18A389)

UDK2018, Xcode Version 10.0 (10A254a)

HashServiceFix-64.efi
AptioInputFix-64.efi
AppleEvent.efi

 

AptioInputFix-64.efi is good anyway. It fix a problem with my keyboard after sleep (first key pressed remains pressed), and I can awake the PC by just moving the mouse, no otherwise. This is a good driver in any cases.

IMHO all those drivers should remain where they are since the package already allow to deselect all them:

if I'm not mistaken they allow an unencrypted fusion corestoage volume to be loaded as well? If true they are just essential, and w/o them... is just a custom configuration...

Hey @chris1111.

Do you already tested replace the apfs.efi for the ApfsDriverLoader.efi driver?

Yes I test lots of revision but I preferred apfs.efi

I see. You had notice that you have a better performance? Speed, etc...?

And thank you for your answer.

Hi

 

This morning, Xcode 10 is in regular software update on Appstore for High Sierra system  Interesting for those who build Clover.

No difference performance and apfs.efi as no relation of the boot speed I think

for me its FilVault Drivers because without the boot speed is more fast

Just Upgrade to this version

[Slice]

I updated Xcode to 10. Clover compiled without problem.

Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Could the Clover installer possibly be updated to work with with SIP enabled?

 

I get installation failed error when SIP is engaged.

I don't know exactly but I may propose that the Clover installer should be signed with Apple's trusted developer. The license costs money.
