Change "About This Mac"

[shrek420]

Monterey install was a success. Now I want to change "About This Mac".

Use RestrictEvents

Use RestrictEvents

It kind of worked? Now it says 6-core Intel Core i5.

Are you using the Kernel > Quirks > ProvideCurrentCpuInfo option in your config.plist.

You might also want to have a look at Corpnewt's CPU-Name script - https://github.com/corpnewt/CPU-Name, The script works with RestrictEvents to allow you to rename your CPU in About this Mac.

You'll need to set the ProcessorType then. CorpNewts script will handle this for you

ProvideCurrentCpuInfo is on. CPU-Name doesn't seem to work.

ProvideCurrentCpuInfo does not change anything in that regard. Set ProcessorType and add RestrictEvents.kext

ProcessorType is set to 1537 and I've had RestrictEvents.

I had this issue a while back... Edhawk and Shaneee helped me correct it.... you need Restrict Events kext and change Processor Type in Platform Info to 3842 and I had to add the boot argument revcpu=1
