Just an update here. From here on out, I'm going to suggest that everyone use "DSDT Editor" to apply the patches. You can still apply the patches all at once using the method of combining all the patches into one as the wiki suggests, but it is not worth it to try and use Auto Patcher, unless you already have it working.
Given the new installer, I've been experimenting with a clean install and attempting to make the "Auto Patcher" work. But Apple and Oracle have made a complete mess out of Java. There is a Java 7 on java.com, but installing it doesn't update the java binaries in /usr/bin. And there are two separate Java settings apps, one for Java 6, and one for Java 7, and it seems they don't talk to each other. In the end, you have a bunch of random binaries all over the system (some in /usr/bin, some in /Library/Internet Plugins..., and who knows where else). Java on Mac OS is a mess. I don't like Java... never did.
At this point I have two systems working correctly with the Auto Patcher: my desktop hack, and my ProBook hack. But I remember having a lot of trouble getting the desktop one to work, with random attempts at uninstalling Java, re-installing it, updating it, etc. It works now, but I have no idea how I arrived at a Java system that is compatible with the Auto Patcher -- and that was just a few days ago. My attempts at making Auto Patcher work in a clean install of Lion 10.7.5 were unsuccessful, yet "DSDT Editor" worked just fine.
I will update the wiki for these recommendations...
RM Mentor,
I already have my patched dsdt from almost 2 months. I saw that you have updated same patches almost 20 days ago.
What I have to do to update my dsdt with yours new patches versions? better to use my raw dsdt and patch it or I modify my patched one?
One last question, actually I have the F20 bios, if I update it to the F29 version, which are the benefits? and of course I have to re-patch the dsdt, right?
Thanks!
