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.

Even with a trusted code-signed certificate SIP wont allow to install things in System's directories, so is it useless anyway.

Is there an APFS.efi that will work with both Mojave and Sierra that has the debug info at boot removed maybe?

Yes you can use the same APFS.efi or APFSDriverLoader.efi for both macOS High Sierra and Mojave.

Hi, its just Sierra (Never bothered with High Sierra, new baby in the house when it was released!) and is there one with the debug info removed?

Congrats on the baby :)

Try these and let me know

apfs.efi is the patched version of the original Mojave's apfs and the Archive contains the ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi and AppleImageLoader-64.efi

apfs.efi.zip

Archive.zip

Thanks, will try now.

 

Is ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi just a direct replacement for APFS.efi or do I need both files from Archive.zip in there?

 

My current Drivers64UEFI Folder Content:

You're welcome, you only need to use only one of these drivers so either remove the apfs.efi and use (ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi and AppleImageLoader-64.efi) instead or only use apfs.efi

The patched file works a treat, would the other method benefit me in any way?

Like forgetting about searching for a right version of apfs.efi which ApfsDriverLoader load from the chosen OS....so is always the right one...

Interesting, I guess I need to try it now and see if the debug info is removed as with the other method.

 

EDIT: works ok, could it be slightly slower in loading though or am I imagining it?

What to say... could be since it needs to read all apfs container to find the relative apfs.efi. But honestly its magic job and the service received it's really convenience than be 0,1 second faster, Imho.

Guys are there any differences in ApfsDriverLoader.efi and ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi? or just name changed but still the same files?

The name make no difference, but at least ebuild.sh should always use the -x64.efi suffix, otherwise I guess is copied by a third party script?

Hi

 

commit r4687 introduce drivers-off/drivers6xx/FileVault2: great job really :)

 

I don't understand why smchelper.efi is classified in this new directory. I thought it was not specific to FV2, according to these explanations Click Here, but a help to Fakesmc . If I understood correctly.

Was a mistake, fixed in r4690

I think SMCHelper.efi mandatory right now? can we use it with VirtualSMC.kext or is it just mandatory for FakeSMC.kext?

 

SMCHelper.efi isn't compatible with VirtualSMC.kext (Read FAQ in repo). It is just for FakeSMC.kext :)

Morning folks,

 

Can I please check what files are required for use with Sierra (Not High Sierra) and Mojave to boot correctly not using FV2.

 

Are the ones highlighted not actually required (Maybe also SMCHelper-64.efi as I don't think my FakeSMC is the Slice version)?:

Highlighted drivers are not needed.

As well as AppleImageLoader.

What are these ps2Dxe, usbDxe, mouseDxe for? Are they mandatory?

These are drivers for keyboard for Clover GUI. Some of them may be needed if your keyboard is not working without them. And for mouse as you see the driver name.

Got it. I thought it was for FV.

Never had an issues in the past, till now regarding kb & mouse on any of my computers. I guess im not needing these.

 

Thanks @Slice
