    This Sonoma released 14.3, build number 23D56 works very well with applied OCLP patching bring back all the functions available in Ventura. Unfortunately the latest Beta 14.4 does not gel with the same patching result with OCLP. If you do manage to install it, you'll be limited to just Ethernet and not WiFi. Applying OCLP as we did in previous Sonoma installs or updates will result in long boot-ups if at all or hang-ups in the boot process. The general consensus towards this Beta 14.4 is to avoid this update and certainly do not try to update your working copy. There is a possibility Apple has change something and OCLP needs to get up to speed again with this update.

    Looking forward to the official Sonoma release later today. To be quite honest, I don't think there will be big changes from RC2 as it runs very stable on my system. I am just hoping the OCLP Devs makes the process a more automated installation for Hacks than what we have now. All in all, I am very happy and grateful for what they have given us thus far, so not going to complain.

    Just goes to show no matter how much we think we know, there always will be something to prove otherwise. Glad you figured it out. ?

    This was also my downfall but didn't think to mention it at the time. ?

    I am genuinely impressed with Sonoma, it is a step up from Ventura for real. Once it is finally released hopefully at the end of September, I will purchase a 1TB WD SN NVMe and clean install. It will be a bit of a task as I have quite a few programs to install but as I have time in abundance, it's no biggie.

    Hi Bro - I find your boot time of 18 seconds incredible if correct. I decide to build my own SSDT Files using SSDTTime as I was using the default ones from Dortania and found little change in my Boot Times. I think you have to factor in a few things that will have an impact on how fast the machine will boot up from the moment you push the 'On Button' (Cold Boot) i.e I have Boot Chime Enabled, Trim is enabled on all Drives, Icon Menu and Wall Paper instead of the Default Text Menu as well as entering my P/W. My PSU has a built in Pre-check Power Supply safety feature to ensure the power is adequate before it is sent to the board and components which results in a time lag of approximately 3 seconds. On changing the SSDTs from prebuilt to ones I built and testing resulted in no discernible change in Boot Time. Testing results are 44.18 - to 45.00 Seconds which I think as a lay person is quite good. Possibly if I removed the Boot Chime and Icon Boot Menu and Wall Paper, the Boot Time will be reduced drastically but I like the way it is. It would be interesting to see your Intel Power Gadget results, here is mine.

    Thanks man, appreciate the feedback and tip, actually I plan to try a 1TB Western Digital Drive once Sonoma is finally released. Thanks again. ?

    By setting APFSTrimTime out to 0, I take it as Disabled. I just checked all my Disks and Trim is Enabled on all. But I am sure I read somewhere that most if not all modern Drives has their own inbuilt mechanism to effect garbage collection and not needing third party intervention so it's no biggie Enabled or Disabled by the OS if I am understanding it correctly.

    Hi - Despite some negative reports on some Samsung SSDs, I have Sonoma on a Samsung 860 EVO 500gb. Ventura on a Samsung 980 Pro 500gb. Big Sur on a Viper M.2 VPR100 500gb (because I was attracted by the pretty lights)? Windos11 on a Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500gb. This MSI Z490 Board unfortunately only has two M.2 Slots unlike my other Z590 Gigabyte board which has 4 slots I think (I don't use this board it's too finicky to setup as a Hack and back in it's box but kept as an emergency board). Once Sonoma is finally released I may invest in a Western Digital SSD or M.2 probably 1 or 2TB in size as prices are way down now.

    I have this Geekish ritual where I test among other things, the boot times after every update. I have to say so far Sonoma is quite impressive on that score. On my machine, a Cold Boot including entering the password takes 45 -48 seconds to reach the Desktop depending how quick I can enter my P/W. So at this point, I would say judging by some bug fixes, we are will on our way to the RC Version.

    Hi all - I am very happy to be here as a newbie although I have been on the hack scene since S/Leopard booting with Chameleon. I am learning all the time and hope to continue doing so in the community.
