Enable The Apple Boot Screen

Apple Boot Screen



                                By default, the installtion guides on this site put the -v (verbose) boot flag into your com.apple.boot.plist that is located in /Extra. The reason i did this is so that you can watch as the system boots and debugs. If you are done with tinkering with kexts, and have your system running 100%, you may want your Hackintosh to look more like a real Mac starting up. Simply drag your com.apple.boot.plist to the desktop, open it in TextEdit and remove the -v flag from the Kernel Flags string. Then put the file back into /Extra and reboot.

NOTE : By deafult, Chameleon uses an updated shiny Apple Logo. To makethe boot screen look like the above photo, insert the following string in the com.apple.boot.plist

<key>kernel flags</key>
<string>Legacy Logo=Yes</string>

OR

<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>

TO SET/CHANGE RESOLUTION TO DESIRED SIZE :

Insert the following string in the /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1360x768x32</string>

Replace the string 1360x768x32 with your desired resolution
i.e. Width x Height x Depth
