Used my 10.12.6 config.plist, created a USB installer of Mojave, standard installation of Clover onto its EFI, dropped in my config file and kexts (added Lilu+WhateverGreen), added apfs.efi to the appropriate location. Booted USB and installed, rebooted a few times during this and made sure to F12 and select the installer on the HD. Installed Clover to the HD's EFI on first boot (Standard installation again), dropped in kexts, apfs.efi, and my config from the USB. After that I grabbed the DW1560 kexts for Bluetooth and Wifi from another user who installed Mojave on an XPS 15 (in my profile). Rebooted and done! Everything working as before with the exception of auto-sleep *if* I sign into iCloud. This happens on my other build in Mojave too... Haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. Also used Nvidia-Update from Github to install and patch old web drivers... This allowed my 960 to be detected and mostly work, but I have some artifacts and do not have full acceleration. Will have to wait for Nvidia to fix that.
ahh ok i thought you did the update from the mac store,but i see you did a clean install.
 
I've updated too to 10.14. From the app store directly, updated clover before. Then I had the computer stuck on startup but as for 10.12, I was able to use it with the screen sharing (so this was stuck only at screen, not really stuck).
Removed old lilu.kext, intelgraphicfixup.kext (I think that's all, but if I removed another one it was linked to a fix for previous graphic glitches). Added apfs.efi
Reinstalled Lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext. Reinstalled applealc.kext and realtekalc.kext.
Everything works flawlessly now
 
I tried to update to 10.14 but I am facing problem even with a USB key made with UniBeast 9.0 and MacOS Mojave Install, the hackintosh refuses to boot.

(see the boot screen)
