Worked on my Catalina IvyBridge build... Thanks! Only difference is that my (nonVanilla) kexts are all in the EFI partition per Clover install.

POSTSCRIPT: Installing Linux (elementaryOS, an Ubuntu derivative) was easy but I struggled a bit in getting boot order undercontrol until I saw this article: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/stop-autobooting-into-linux-clover-bootloader.192387/#post-1286334. [edit: went back and installed...

Clover allows the flag " -xcpm" in config.plist. NOTE to anyone reading this and trying similar power management tweaks: -xcpm works for Haswell, but IIUC not for all processors... That did a nice trick of lowering the core frequency down below 1.7GHz when not in demand. (without it, it was...

Finally got it... I got kind of frustrated after dozens of attempts, finally revisited this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/release-hackintool-v1-8-1.254559/ ... and used the Hackintool... what I learned is that I missed a configuration setting: framebuffer-con3-type data...

KK, thanks @Feartech ! I will try all those... just starting to dig and I see that some of this is "old hat" as they used to say... https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen.256490/ which is referenced from ...

From what I read, absolutely... even on true Macs: recent MacBooks, iMacs + top of the line iPhones. But AirDrop is my Ace-in-the-Whole...just in case I can't make it any better. HDMI video works perfectly. Bluetooth audio is perfect as well. Regular audio (tinny, tiny Altec Lansing...

Truly just about perfect... only two glitches are: LED light on WiFi Key stays orange rather than going to white, and after using the Wifi Button, it doesn't auto-join the last network Continuity only partially works: AirDrop seems perfect, but Handoff is not very reliable - works one way...

Hi @Feartech , thanks. I’ve been following Rehabman and his work for years (both here and at InsanelyMac)... and yes, I did use the methods in the link you posted to install on my Probook 4530s- which now works nearly perfectly. Following the same guide very carefully for the HP 350 G1 did...

OK, I confirmed that. The BrightnessUp and BrightnessDown keys both send the same output via PS2. I struggled and failed to get ACPIDebug.kext output to yield anything... something I probably overlooked but I will revisit this later... In the mean time I saw this post...

Working on brightness now. Using https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/ Installed ioio and see that the two keys for brightness up and down both yield the same: default 12:10:23.553383 -0600 kernel ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key...

Sound now working as well. Used file below to further patch the DSDT. Sound comes back after sleep... good. Speakers are a bit tinny... ("tinny sort of word" ... makes me think of Monty Python). Luckily the Bluetooth V4 works with my earphones... [ note: the official HP documents list the...

Battery is now (seemingly) fixed and I'm banging my head against the brick wall with less intensity... It actually works perfectly now. (Sound on the docket now...) I'd been trying to patch the DSDT to fix the battery... to no avail... and then I saw that the config.plist for this model in...

@ Feartech : Thanks, for the encouragement to go back and try the post-install config_3x0_G1. I did some more reflection and noticed that some of the entries in probook.git/config/config_3x0_G1.plist are problematic : specifically in ACPI/DSDT/Patches that contain comments with "G4". After...

I edited my original post to explicitly say that I used the https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/. and https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-probook-elitebook-zbook-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.261719/. to create the USB...

This is a Haswell Series 8 laptop, with a 1.7GHz processor, Intel HD4400 graphics, and an IDT92HD95 audio codec. I followed the instructions posted for Booting with Clover and Installing Laptops. ( I used the...

Thanks everyone for another tasty trail of bread crumbs. After about a week of on and off tinkering, reading, experimenting and all... I finally have it once again working on my 5 year old CustoMacMini: Gigabyte H61N-USB3 F8 w/ 8GB RAM Intel Core i3 @ 3.09GHz Defined as Macmini6,2 Clover, no...

That is a pretty strong statement... I'll investigate the wifi card, buy and try. I've got an old ssd that I can pop in to the 4540s as a guinea pig. Thank you. PS. How's the snow? That looks like CO or UT, in your sig.

I currently have a HP 4530s running 10.10.1, equipped with a 256GB SSD & 8GB SDRAM, and a self-"rebranded" Atheros 9285 wifi/bluetooth card... It works perfectly, for all practical purposes. Messages, FaceTime, etc. all work as they should. And I love having a numeric keypad. The one...

thanks @ all for answers & comments... they are illuminating & helpful... by "fully functional" I mean that the basic install using Clover, etc. has delivered to the user a Mackintosh where it boots, is stable, ; network, sound & graphics work as they should, Sleep, Restart, Shutdown all...

I looked in the Clover FAQ's and couldn't find the answer, so I ask here... What is the preferred way to add kexts to a fully functional Clover-based install? #1 using the stock .pkg iinstaller OR #2 using Pacifist (or the like) to extract the kexts to /EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/10.x/ and...
