This makes webcam identify as Apple FaceTimeHD.
Modified for those with the Sunix webcam.
Effect: webcam indicator light turns off properly when cam is no longer in use.

Common problem with recent Dell laptops. Use a shorter SMBIOS.

Like four years ago I didn't manage to make a correct dsdt, but at least I DO have EVERYTHING working on my 9350. The only exception is hibernation and TB3, but really I don't think anybody cares about it at the moment.

So far got working:

• sound (no HDMI-audio)
• brightness (shift+F2/F3 to control use system preferences for now)
• NVME (@1200W/1500R)
• touchpad (middle click inverted with right one)
• touchscreen (no onscreen keyboard popup)
• camera
• HDMI (no audio)
• USB-C
• USB-As
• Battery
• Sleep (no hibernation +hibernation)
• Bluetooth
• Wi-Fi (depending on module installed, swapped to DW1830)
• iCloud, Find My Mac, iMessage etc (You have to find/generate your own serial)
  
• GPU QE/CI (4k video no lag)
• CPU PM(drops up to 0.85 GHz 0.5 GHz)
  
• First of a kind there - hassle-free INSTALL (everything is seen at first boot and installs sucsessfully)

So far this might be a kinda universal solution for 9350 line. I'm not saying it's pefect, but it's beginner-friendly and almost fully working out-of-box. Be free to use my CLOVER folder to install and to boot into on a regular basis, as it is my daily-driver one. Any further ugrades will also land there.

As of 12/7/2016 12/16/2016 it's proven working on 10.12.1 and 10.12.2 beta5. Any improvements are welcome

As usual credits for kexts used goes to their authors. Many thanks to everyone in these threads to make this pack possible!

Update: added v2

Hi, I wondered if it compatible with the newest BIOS patch? My system is running well but it's time consuming if there's boot problem with the new BIOS (if there is)

For pm, do you use ssdt gen?

I can help with this uf you explain how to proceed

Hi, I wondered if it compatible with the newest BIOS patch?

Yes, currently I'm running BIOS v1.4.10, but it is should also be compatible with earlier ones.

For pm, do you use ssdt gen?

Nope, since we have different frequencies add 3 different CPUs I'm just using HWP in Clover.

It has been discussed in detail in the past at one of Slice's Clover threads on IM.

I get this from eBay, I am in USA.

Is this the DW1830 you got? The card was originally in Dell XPS 15 9550 (Wireless WiFi Card part no. HHKJD). See links below (may help people who don't want to order off of ebay).

Just want to be sure because I'm ordering the laptop separately and it won't arrive for another few days so I don't want to waste any time if I have to reorder the card. (Sorry this is going back to post 216 https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-xps-13-9350-macos-10-12-1.204730/page-22#post-1375055)

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll upgrade the BIOS without worries now

I'll try HWP, I worried since there's people experiencing problems before, my TB3 dongle havent come, can Mac recognize at all ? Or speed problems in TB3?

Edit : I just realized that you dont have HWPEnable kext in your kexts folder, this kext is not needed anymore? And the file SSDT-XPS13SKL.aml is this for HWP?
