osx 12 can't write in to /system folder
Hi, I have tried to replace the Aqua.car file, but unfortunately even after disable SIP the file system seems still read-only.
=> csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).
Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: enabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: disabled
DTrace Restrictions: enabled
NVRAM Protections: enabled
BaseSystem Verification: enabled
Boot-arg Restrictions: enabled
Kernel Integrity Protections: enabled
Authenticated Root Requirement: enabled
This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.
=> sudo mv ~/Downloads/customise_macos-0.1.0/appearance/Aqua/Aqua.car .
override rw-r--r-- root/wheel for ./Aqua.car? (y/n [n]) y
mv: fastcopy: open() failed (to): ./Aqua.car: Read-only file system
❯ sudo mount -uw /
mount_apfs: volume could not be mounted: Permission denied
mount: / failed with 66
I searched google for a while, it seems after osx 11 the mac had disabled SIP backdoor so simplycsrutil disablewill not work, had you checked this on M1 chip? I'm on M1 pro platform with osx 12.4
in particular, through this answer, it seems the system file is totally unchangeable.
Please help to provide more info about how to apply those car files.
Sorry I don't know why I missed this notification... I can check this weekend I have some prior obligations this week.
Between now and then it might be worth giving it a shot quickly with all of SIP disabled and not just the filesystem and debugging; just to see.
@akanes0ra it appears that for Big Sur onwards it is more work to replace .car files. See instructions here: https://github.com/jslegendre/ThemeEngine#themeengine
I'm working on a thing which does not require replacing files on-disk which I alluded to elsewhere but it's a lot of work so don't expect it soon. For now your only choice might be the instructions above.
Ye I can tell it's a lot work to do for replacing system file right now. I will leave it since I have many priorities now...
