Hello Friends,
After several attempts, I finally successfully installed OSX 10.12.6 on my Asus laptop. And in the process, this forum helped me a lot. So I thought why not contribute back? :headbang:

Hardware Info:
  • Model Number: Asus R558UQ (Basically A Rebrand Of X556UA)
  • CPU: I5-7200U
  • GPU: Intel HD 620, Nvidia 940MX (2Gb)
  • RAM: 12GB (Upgraded from 4GB)

What Is Working?
  • GPU - Have full acceleration (Intel HD Only)
  • AUDIO: Working With AppleALC.kext And Lilu.kext, (Use 13 As layout ID)
  • Headphone Jack (Install CodacCommander.kext Using Kext Utility)
  • Bluetooth
  • Touchpad
  • Battery Info
  • Wifi (with External WIFI Dongle)
  • DVD Writer
Issues:
  • Touchpad: Working But Not Useable. No Gestures Work (Detected As Mouse)
  • Wifi: Working But only Using an External adapter.
  • Battery: Only Works with DSDT Patch.
  • brightness: Native brightness Not Work, (Using Brightness Slider, Downloaded from Store)
  • Audio: Working Fine In both Inbuilt Speakers And Earphones But Quality IS not as good as Windows.
  • Bluetooth: There Is No Option To Turn Off Bluetooth

[Note: Only Use Sierra 10.12.6 Installer To Get It Working]

[ REMOVED! Now OK? ]

And now Download CodacCommander kext and install it via Kext Utility. (To Fix Earphone audio Issue)
And voila! You got working Sierra.

Battery Fix:
Patch DSDT To Fix Battery Info Issue.

Final Thoughts:
Well, This Hackintosh build is totally useable as long as you use an external Mouse.
And if you have any fix for the touchpad issue, please reply(N.B I already tried patching DSDT But it caused The Touchpad Not Work). It would be very helpful for both me and the other users. Thank You!

your touchpad may be I2C:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/voodooi2c-help-and-support.243378/

you can check that in windows

(also all your kexts should be installed to /L/E)

Yes, I Checked The Touchpad is I2C-HID, Well I didn't try Thet, Actually, I want to make OS Updates As Smooth As Possible. Do I also Need To Patch DSDT ?

patching DSDT is a must for a nice running macOS

I2c will sort out your trackpad
