Not open for further replies.
My EFI bundle attached, just to make the life easier for someone. Merged all the stuff from different forums. FileVault 2 capable with internal keyboard working (no need for USB KB to enter the password), no debug errors tearing the login screen. OSX update from AppleStore supported (if you use FileVault, after initial reboot during update, press F3 in clover and select "Install from Prebooter" in order to apply updates, second reboot - go to "FileVault from Prebooter").
Throw in, run KextUtility to refresh the caches and reboot. Enjoy! Thanks to authors of those drivers.
Tested on Xiaomi Pro (2018), i7 16 RAM model.

Thnks Neolo. Just curious, how do you find the battery and the overall temperature under MacOs? I feel the fans turn on more frequently than in Windows and the battery doesn't last as much.

BTW are you on the air or on the pro?

Sorry, corrected previous message, Pro i7.
Honestly, I didn't test battery life much, but feels like the same as in Windows. For sensors you can install some 3rd party App like https://sourceforge.net/projects/hwsensors/
Also there is a new BIOS available from Steve, it says there something fixed about the fans. But I didn't flash it yet.

I flashed the BIOS to the 603 version, but unfortunately I don’t see many differences in the fans management from the previous one (503?). I hope for the next BIOS to be better ( if XiaoMi will ever release it ). The question is: is it the BIOS that has a bad fans management or is the power management of the hackintosh that requests more power than the one required? I feel like it’s the first option, but I’m not expert enough to be sure.

No idea, you can try to find changelog at xioami website and translate it. Most likely hackintosh has bad PM drivers, as always.
Have you disabled internal BT? That one drains the battery too.

Trackpad two fingers scrolling is pretty bad, it gets stuck in scroll mode sometimes, or doesn't respond to scroll action at all.

I do use your release, thank you, however, have you tried a two-fingers scrolling? It's buggy, getting stuck or not responding. Right click works at 80% chance. Other functions like swipe etc are don't work.

I post a video of the trackpad at https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro/issues/38 . In my opinion, it's working great on two finger scrolling and other gestures. If you have other good trackpad drivers, welcome to share.
