Hey

I installed Yosemite 10.10 in my laptop but i faced some problems


1- I get Random restarts "Tried to move icon from launchpad to launchpad icon in dock and i got a sudden restart".

2- The Sound volume is Low and headphone isn't working .. i have ALC 3221 and i use VoodooHDA 1.8.6
with some modifying in the settings of voodoo i believe i fixed the sound volume now but headphone still doesn't work -Fixed using ALC282 AppleHDA and patching DSDT. Check Comment #38 to #41

4- After boot, The brightness is set to maximum .. even when i edit it, it resets it self after boot. anyway to fix? Fixed used this View attachment EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.zip

5- I have only 1024mb ram in intel hd 4000 .. my friend with the same laptop have a 2048 .. any thing i should check? Fixed!

For your Clover entry issue, read the Clover wiki: http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Home


Download patchmatic: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-MaciASL-patchmatic.
Install it to /usr/bin.

In terminal,
Code:
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Also, post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

And output from:
Code:

Hey

1- everything looks "blurry, fuzzy, pixelated".

According to ioreg, graphics QE/CI is working. Your screen shots do not look as you describe.

2- I get Random restarts "Tried to move icon from launchpad to launchpad icon in dock and i got a sudden restart".

Likely caused by USB WiFi. Make sure you have up-to-date drivers.

3- The Sound volume is Low and headphone isn't working .. i have ALC 3221 and i use VoodooHDA 1.8.6
with some modifying in the settings of voodoo i believe i fixed the sound volume now but headphone still doesn't work

I have never used VoodooHDA. Consider patched AppleHDA instead.

5- After boot, The brightness is set to maximum .. even when i edit it, it resets it self after boot. anyway to fix?

You need working NVRAM. EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and install RC scripts to boot volume in Clover installer.

6- I have only 1024mb ram in intel hd 4000 .. my friend with the same laptop have a 2048 .. any thing i should check?

It is normal. Difference may be related to difference in amount of RAM or the version of OS X that you're running.

i should be specified but the texts looks so pixelated and fuzzy don't know why .. also i noticed the icons on launchpad are blurry but for some reasons which i don't know .. changing the dock size fixes it

check the photos

If i installed AppleHDA i should remove the VoodooHDA kext?

They look perfect to me. I think you are just not satisfied with your screen.

Yes.


DSDT patches you need for AppleHDA: https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch
Apply: "Audio Layout 12" (change layout-id from 12 to the layout-id used by the patched AppleHDA)
Apply: "IRQ Fix"

Determine layout-id from patched AppleHDA.kext:

First you need to know your codec id in decimal. Then look in the Info.plist for AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext (in PlugIns), find your codec id under HDAConfigDefault (there may be many entries in a sloppy patched AppleHDA or only one). The LayoutID that matches your codec id is the layout id you need.
 
You need working NVRAM. EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and install RC scripts to boot volume in Clover installer.


According to this article

2/ Clover UEFI

Unlike Chameleon, Clover UEFI is more transparent for UEFI system, so it will use the system’s Native NVRAM (if exist).

To see if you have native NVRAM or not, go to /EFI/Clover/Drivers64UEFI/ and delete EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi, then restart. Follow the NVRAM testing procedure above, if it’s still working then you have native NVRAM support and you don't need to use EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi; if not then put back EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi to use NVRAM.

EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi works by loading the newest nvram.plist from HFS+/FAT32 partitions and emulate NVRAM for OS X. But this driver CAN NOT save NVRAM into the nvram.plist. Therefore, we need some solution to save nvram.plist at shutdown.

Install RC Script

You can install this by select "Install RC Script to target partition" in Clover <=2711

This is how Clover Installer saved NVRAM (up to Clover 2711). It utilizes OS X’s feature of loading /etc/rc.local when booting up, and /etc/rc.shutdown.local when shutting down, Clover Installer added execute scripts to save log files into rc.local and save nvram.plist into rc.shutdown.local.

The truth is RC Script has been deprecated since the day of Leopard (10.5) but for some reasons it still survives till Mavericks (10.9). Unfortunately it is gone completely in Yosemite ( 10.10 ), so Clover users using RC Script in old installer now won’t be able to keep NVRAM after restarting, due to nvram.plist saving scripts won’t run at shutting down.

does that mean RC scripts won't work on yosemite?
 
Information is out-of-date. Clover has since been modified to work with Yosemite.

Thank you sir. i will try all what you said and post the feedback.
 
For the NVRAM problem

i opened EFI\CLOVER\drivers64UEFI

and i didn't find EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi. So to fix the NVRAM problem i need to get a working EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi, copy it to EFI\CLOVER\drivers64UEFI ,then install RC scripts to fix NVRAM ?

Right?
