Anyone know how to hide Recovery HD from Clover GUI? I guess HideEntries is obsolete.

 

Recently, Recovery HD uses the same icon as its primary OS. I don't really like it.

Some of what HideEntries does you are now able to do with Custom Entries. I think still has its uses though.

 

If you dont want to use HideEntries you can use this in GUI / Custom / Entries:

<dict>
	<key>Type</key>
	<string>OSXRecovery</string>
	<key>Hidden</key>
	<true/>
</dict>

You could also change the icon here too. Using Image/ImageData and/or DriveImage/DriveImageData.

 

Different themes have different looking icons. Both standard OSX and Recovery will use the icon for the version of OSX they are (os_lion.icns, os_cougar.icns, os_mav.icns etc) but have different Drive icons (vol_internal_hfs.icns and vol_recovery.icns respectively) however they will fall back to using the same icon (vol_internal.icns) if the theme does not have a separate file for them to use.

Also make sure you are using the latest Clover as r2217 had this (broken) behavior and r2236 fixed it again.

I'm on r2236. Unfortunately HideEntries doesn't seem to work here as my concern is to hide recovery hd and internal uefi partitions.

 

 

		<key>HideEntries</key>
		<dict>
			<key>OSXInstall</key>
			<false/>
			<key>Recovery</key>
			<true/>
			<key>WindowsEFI</key>
			<false/>
			<key>InternalUEFI</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>
		<key>Scan</key>
		<dict>
			<key>Entries</key>
			<true/>
			<key>Tool</key>
			<true/>
			<key>Legacy</key>
			<false/>
		</dict>

It's outdated or mistyped? So I have to use Scan/Legacy=false at the moment to hide internal UEFI. Now going to try Custom Entries format.

BTW regarding icons in a theme, my theme has swapped badges (between drive and OS). I just can't stand when same big icons sit in a row.

 

Thanks

Oh sorry. Yes HideEntries has been replaced by custom entries. I thought you were referring to GUI / Hide where you can hide volumes using the VolumeName/DevicePath.

 

Swapped badges, meaning drive icons are bigger than OS icons? If so you may need to make/find a vol_recovery.icns to use for Recovery.

[poispois 9]

I don't know if i'm posting in the right place but here it goes.

 

How can I edit the menu entries (Volumes) to appear on Clover and how to set a timed pre-selected volume to boot? 

 

Thanks.

That is a DSDT problem

 

Clover has on-the-fly DSDT patching.

 

Go into "options" menu then select the "DSDT Mask" menu. Uncheck everything.

thanks...

 

after clearing options both my test and SSD booted... 

 

neither booted with any of the options selected at all in DSDT...

 

slow boot for the SSD... normal for HDD...

 

Neither hard drive had - sound, ethernet, Wifi or bluetooth... both drives have the correct kexts needed in SLE for that to work as far as i was aware from other users who have this working...
