Convert Apfs To Hfs
I don't see the need to convert to older file system, people need to get with technology not go against it.Many people have issues if apfs gets loaded onto their HDD, it’s good for SSDs but kills performance of mechanical drives. This is a good tool if it works for users with that problem IMO. Apfs is new and has some bugs like having 3 or 4 visible boot options of which only 2 are necessary. With multiple drives connected it gets crowded unless you know how to hide the partitions in clover GUI settings. I can see this being useful for many folks that dont have the knowledge to manipulate apfs formats.Edited July 6, 2018 by Gigamaxx. Piker Alpha did say that APFS is not very safe to use on an hackintosh, because of the lack of the apple firmware of an hackintosh could lead to problems such as memory errors not detected or problems with memory operations not dectected, and potentially data loss and curroption over time, that's why i prefer to not use it (and also because of the lack of the apple firmware you get also the error print while using apfs on an hackintosh)I was wondering why i didn’t get familiarized with that APFS, from High SierraSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.
CONCLUSIONConversion was taking too long ( more than one hour.)I stopped it.To convert from HFS+ to APS is better a manual solution.1. Create an empty APFS partition2.

The problem is, unlick High Sierra, the command used to avoid APFS conversion, –converttoapfs isn’t a recognized option in startosinstallAnd therefore, in order to avoid APFS conversion, you need to find out an alternative way. Through a little research and common sense, I was able to install macOS Mojave on an HFS+ drive and prevented APFS conversion on my SSD. Interestingly, there are two distinct different ways to install macOS Mojave without APFS conversion and we have discussed each with step by step instruction and screenshots. Video guide will be uploaded soon.Apple Mac users can also use these methods to avoid APFS conversion and install macOS Mojave 10.14 on HFS+ (macOS Journaled Partition).
Method 1: During macOS Mojave InstallationBoth Apple users and Hackintosh users can use this method to prevent APFS conversion during macOS Mojave 10.14 installation. It’s easy and doesn’t take much time. However, you need to create a macOS installer media.
