Wanting a more clean booting experience with macOS without all that verbose text while booting? Well you need a couple things:
Misc -> Debug
- Set
AppleDebug
to False, this will remove boot.efi debugging right at the start of booting.
NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82
:
- Remove
-v
from boot-args in your config.plist
NVRAM -> Add -> 4D1EDE05-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B38C14
:
- UIScale
01
: Standard resolution02
: HiDPI (generally required for FileVault to function correctly on smaller displays)
UEFI -> Output
:
TextRenderer
set toBuiltinGraphics
Resolution
: set toMax
for best results- Optionally can specify resolution:
WxH@Bpp (e.g. 1920x1080@32) or WxH (e.g. 1920x1080)
- Optionally can specify resolution:
ProvideConsoleGop
set to True
If still having issues, see Configuration.pdf for all possible options.
So if you followed closely to this guide during install, you'll likely be running the debug version of OpenCore and a .txt file would be created on each boot. For those who want to remove OpenCore's extra debugging messages and that .txt file generation, see below:
Inside your config.plist:
Misc -> Debug -> Target
: 3Target
is what determines both what is logged and how, see OpenCore Debugging for more values
Inside your EFI:
- Replace the following files with the release versions(if previously using DEBUG versions):
- EFI/BOOT/
BOOTx64.efi
- EFI/OC/Drivers/
OpenRuntime.efi
- EFI/OC/
OpenCore.efi
- EFI/BOOT/
