I haven't installed Mojave on my tablet yet. I do have a few questions.
What works and what doesn't. Like does the touchscreen work or cameras and when/if I swap out the wifi card does it will work in Windows. (If i dual boot windows and mac)

I just wanna know that I can use it as a tablet and not just as the laptop. Id like to be able to use it as I currently do with windows 10. With being able to switch between a tablet mode and laptop mode. Like having a onscreen keyboard and being able to use the touch screen as the mouse and all of that. Then be able to just plug and play the keyboard with the trackpad and use it as a laptop.

I also Wanna know if Ill be able to control the screen brightness and change the volume with the buttons. The buttons are needed but the screen brightness would be nice for my eyes and battery like mainly.

The touchscreen works fine, the dw1560 works in windows/linux/osx, the cameras do not work on the G2 (pci based), but do work on the G1 (usb based). There is no 'tablet mode' in macOS and it was in no way designed for a touchscreen, but the X2 isn't too bad with just the touchscreen and the accessibility keyboard. And yes, the volume buttons and brightness control works.

Thank you for the response! That was all of the info I was wanting. I have the G1 and I just wanted to make sure that if I upgrade the wifi it would still work in windows. I also wanted to just make sure Things like camera and stuff worked because in my opinion it would defeat the purpose of doing this if I couldnt get everything working right.

Last question. Do you think Mac OS is a good OS replacement/alternative to Windows 10 on the G1? I like Windows 10 as a tablet OS but I hate it as a desktop OS. Windows 10 also eat RAM like it doesn't even care. I also prefer macOS as a mobile OS.
 
OK, So Ive got the OS installer to boot (Mojave) and once I start the instal it reboots. Also, I turned off Secure Boot and nothing is in the full HD resolution.

Ive managed to instal High Sierra without reboots but once I start the install process of Mojave it craps out and reboots.

EDIT: I disabled Legacy Boot and its running at the full resolution.
It still reboots once I click install.

It's normal. It can reboot 2-4 times during the installation. Also, remove the VoodooI2C kexts from the installer's clover folder to make sure it's not a kp at unload happening.
 
Well, that's very likely a kernel panic. Did you remove the VoodooI2C kexts? How did you create the installer?
I built it in terminal and im rebuilding it now incase something got messed up. I use the createinstallermedia.

UPDATE 1: Mojave is installing. So far so good!

So I managed to get everything to install and boot. I installed all of the kexts in L/E and the touchscreen works. What does not work and need help with getting fixed.

IGPU doesnt work right. Shows I have 9 MB of VRAM
Sound doesnt work/show up. Even after kext install
Every time I use Clover Config and change it to the right MacBook. It KPs on boot.

I will upload my clover folder and will film a video if needed.

Yeah, upload the clover folder that you're booting with. The sound is an easy fix, the attached config.plist is set up for the G2 and the inject audio flag under the 'Devices' section is set to 21, change it to 3.
