Popular Post Austere.J Posted May 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi all! I made a new Lilu plugin which unlocks the Night Shift function for all Macs. Those who use an unsupported SMBIOS no longer need to modify and re-codesign the CoreBrightness binary manually. Requirement: macOS Sierra 10.12.4+ and Lilu 1.2.0+ Currently Supported OS: macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra Source & Downloads: Github Screenshot: Enjoy! 25 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323844-nightshiftunlocker-dynamically-unlock-night-shift-for-all-macs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsguytor Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've installed this and Lilu.kext to /Library/Extensions/ using KCPM Utility Pro, rebooted, and they are visible in kextstat. However the Night Shift tab doesn't appear in System Preferences, even though the toggle is visible in Notification Manager.

el_charlie Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hello! With NightShiftUnlocker.kext in case of the High Sierra updating falls in a panic. And the system with it normally boots Can confirm this behavior: with NightShiftUnlocker I got kernel panic when booting the High Sierra installer, but it can boot normally to the OS. I'm trying to update from High Sierra GM to the official release and I had to remove the kext from Clover/Kexts/Other. Is there a boot flag we can use?? or something to prevent from loading on the installer? Cheers!

el_charlie Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 No, thenthank you for such an amazing kext. I now realize that I can force lilu off and thus all the plugins on the installer via a boot arg. Then use lilu normally on a working system. It would be amazing when you update the app and does this normally. I was used to do the hex edit con Corebrightness.framework everytime a new Public Beta came up. This kext makes this process a LOT mot easier. I don't know how to thank you enough. Cheers! EDIT: I meant thank you.

Guest ricoc90 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Works fine here too As of the KP issue on install: this also happens when booting the recovery partition. NightShiftUnlocker can be disabled with bootarg -nsuoff, so as a workaround I've created custom osxinstall boot entries with -nsuoff as an additional arg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323844-nightshiftunlocker-dynamically-unlock-night-shift-for-all-macs/#findComment-2501441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNB Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks. I now have nightshift on my SandyBridge HD3000 Acer 4830T (a.k.a MacBook Pro 8,1).

el_charlie Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Works fine here too Schermafbeelding 2017-09-27 om 04.25.57.png As of the KP issue on install: this also happens when booting the recovery partition. NightShiftUnlocker can be disabled with bootarg -nsuoff, so as a workaround I've created custom osxinstall boot entries with -nsuoff as an additional arg That's the arg I was trying to find! I did remove the kext, upgraded to HS and reinstalled the kext. I could have used -liluoff, too because the other plugin I use is AppleALC and wasn't needed to use the installer/recovery. But now I now. However, it would be fine if the plugin prevents itself from loading on recovery/installers automagically. Cheers!

fusion71au Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 @AustereJ, All OK here on my desktop (GA-P55aUD3/Intel i5-750/ATI HD 5770), running High Sierra 10.13.1Beta (17B35a). Using iMac11,3 SMBIOS and with Lilu v1.2.0 & NightShiftUnlocker v2.2 loaded.... Can confirm this behavior: with NightShiftUnlocker I got kernel panic when booting the High Sierra installer, but it can boot normally to the OS. I'm trying to update from High Sierra GM to the official release and I had to remove the kext from Clover/Kexts/Other. Now, no problems, even if you inject Lilu v1.2.0+NSU v2.2 from Clover /Kexts/10.13 folder when booting into Recovery or Installer.
