It comes up against the locked OS drive thing like other such apps, so you need to disable SIPs to run it (insert mandatory warning about your system will be overrun by Russian murder hornets if you do such a thing sigh) Not system icons, though, not out of the box.
#Liteicon big sur pro
I may try the whole process again later today but without an internet connection to my Mac Pro 2010 and see if my preferred system Icon files and other tweaks get through to the finished OS intact.You can get 99% of the way there with a paid-for app called CDock (CDock4 is the newest, works on Big Sur) that allows you to change icons, dock backgrounds, shadows, dock positions etc. My modified 924MB BaseSystem.dmg was also automatically replaced by the 884MB original one too. The Assistant must connect in the background to Apple to grab back these files, as I made sure I’d deleted every instance of them on the installer up to that point.
#Liteicon big sur install
I thought a new suggestion for creating a customised BaseSystem.dmg on the install USB stick (which then gets written to the Recovery volume) may work, but Apple has deviously written in an Update Assistant, presumably to run when altered files don’t match the size or checklist that’s expected, so twice during my new install a few hours ago my carefully added (older) System Folder Icons were overwritten without notification by the latest BS ones I was trying to avoid. I’m keeping up with the latest efforts and suggestions over in the Macrumors ‘Big Sur on Unsupported Macs’ forum first and foremost. That allowed LiteIcon 4.1 to launch but it didn't update the folder icons after clearing the cache and logging back in.Ĭlick to expand.I am working on compiling instruction but am still failing specifically around replacing System Folder Icons. I really hate the bright blue system folder icons in all of the recent OS's and have, up until BS, replaced them with the 10.9 versions.Īfter installing BS beta 3 without sealing or snapshots, I changed the ist (in S/L/CoreServices) from 10.16 to 10.15 (from Catalina, as I couldn't do it from BS single user mode). However, getting the unmodified LiteIcon to launch 'may' be one step closer to our goal - until the developer updates the app (I've also sent him an email request but with no reply).
#Liteicon big sur trial
I did try to manually modify this file to create a new '10.16' version, with updated/added strings in the other internal app files, but that trial app launched with a '-1' error message. I suspect that the 'IconData_10.15.plist' inside LiteIcon's resources folder doesn't contain the correct file UUID locations for BS use. I then did 'sudo kmutil install -volume-root /Volumes/11.0 -update-all -force' and 'sudo /Volumes/11.0/usr/sbin/kcditto' after mounting the system as '-uw /' but that didn't help either. That allowed LiteIcon 4.1 to launch but it didn't update the folder icons after clearing the cache and logging back in. I haven't tried the icons yet but got my wifi card to work by replacing the IO80211Family.kext from Catalina with a few additional stepsĬlick to expand.After installing BS beta 3 without sealing or snapshots, I changed the ist (in S/L/CoreServices) from 10.16 to 10.15 (from Catalina, as I couldn't do it from BS single user mode). Phase 3 this important part grey screen apple logo and progress bar do not let that Progress Bar reach the end !!!!!! A bit past the halfway mark of the progress bar power off your Mac then power on hold the option button choose your BS drive let it finish once in the desktop then try sudo mount -uw / if you don't get the failed with 66 then it worked then once you make you icon changes boot back into you BS usb installer in the terminal csrutil enable reboot then boot back into the BS USB installer in the terminal csrutil authenticated-root enable. Phase 3 Black screen apple log and progress bar proceed as normal. Phase 2 is the black screen with apple logo and progress bar and time remaining proceed as normal when it reboots hold the option button do not select the macOS install choose whatever you name your BS drive for example mine macOS Big Sur Beta.
Phase 1 is the with the Big Sur background proceed as normal after it reboots hold you option button boot into the Big Sur USB installer enter the terminal csrutil disable and reboot back into the BS installer USB then in the terminal enter csrutil authenticated-root disable reboot hold the option button choose macOS install. That means your snapshot volume is sealed I got the same message but there is a way to prevent the snapshot from sealing during install and my late 2012 is not supported because of the wifi card if you decide to do a fresh install these are the steps to prevent the sealing.
