Apple TV running on a macbook!


Apple TV OS running on a macbook.
Thank you semthex for your patched Finder.

Thanks to appletvhacks.net for providing this tutorial.

Just make sure you have everything backed up.
Download a copy of the patched Finder file.
Now, copy the Finder.app from your Apple TV drive,
and transplant the patch file (which is just the binary part of the app) into it,
and set the permissions:

cd /Volumes/OSBoot/System/Library/CoreServices/
sudo cp -pr ./Finder.app /Volume/FreshOSX/System/Library/CoreServices/.
cd /Volume/FreshOSX/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/
sudo cp /path/to/patched/Finder .
sudo chown root:wheel Finder
sudo chmod 755 Finder

Next you must copy over 2 additional Frameworks from the Apple TV to the OS X install:

cd /Volumes/OSBoot/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
sudo cp -pr ./iPhotoAccess.framework /Volume/FreshOSX/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/.
sudo cp -pr ./BackRow.framework /Volume/FreshOSX/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/.

Now, reboot and hold down Option to choose your boot drive,
select the new OS X install and boot from it. You should be away.
