Hey, I figured out the SmBIOS. Can you tell me how to add my own MLB and ROM values ?

They are settings in RtVariables. Read the Clover wiki.

I know that but can i do that ? Will it affect the config.plist file ? U said that clover messes with your patches so.

Clover will not do anything to your config.plist. Clover only reads it.

My comment is regarding Clover Configurator which has nothing to do with Clover itself.

You should never edit your config.plist with Clover Configurator.

Use the Clover installer.

I can't install it on the EFI partition of my computer. It doesn't show up in the installation. Also, what type of installation do I do (Standard or custom, if custom then what do i check?).

The Clover installer should be targeted at your main partition. It will automatically find the associated EFI when you select "Install for UEFI...". It is covered in the guide.

Only Install for UEFI is supposed to be selected? What about Install Clover in the ESP?

EDIT

I found it:
- select "Customize" (the default is a legacy install -- we need to change it)
- check "Install for UEFI booting only", "Install Clover in the ESP" will automatically select
- check "Bluemac" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)
- check "OsxAptioFixDrv-64" from Drivers64UEFI

So how do i add values in Rt Variables ? Is it safe to copy my current config.plist and then add these values and save it? After that I can copy this file over the original config.plist. will that work ?

I don't understand the question. You can edit your config.plist with Xcode or PlistEditPro.

I did the clover installation but now it's just stuck at the Apple logo and a bit loaded (without the USB). I accidentally did a standard installation before on the main partition. Is there a way to fix this mess?
