I everyone, I'm here asking for help, I have installed Mac os Catalina 10.15.4 on my laptop with the necessary kexts (I believe... I mean.. I'm not 100% sure)
I created a dsdt, I think that I did it the right way, somehow.
I worked around my config with graphics injected from the proprieties tab and boot args.
All looks good after all.
still, I have a couple of issues, so let's get through this together!!!
QUICK LAPTOP INFO:
Product Type: Notebook
Brand: ASUS
Model: N551JX-CN043T
Year Manufacture: 2015
Processor: Intel Core i7 4720HQ
Graphics: Intel HD 4600 mobile (Haswell) + Nvidia GeForce GTX 950m
Audio: Realtek alc668
Wifi/Bluetooth: Qualcomm Atheros ar9485
Ram: 8gb (Extended to 16gb by me)
Hard Drive: 1TB HDD (Replaced by me with 1TB SSD)
CHECK MORE SPECIFIC INFO AT THIS LINK: https://icecat.us/prefere/us/p/vendorName/mpn/desc-30348719.html
PROBLEMS REPORT:
1) When I disconnect the ac adapter from the laptop, everything that is connected to my 3.0 USB port with the bolt icon, so with charge supply option, stops to work for a few seconds.
Which is ok for a Wireless USB mouse, but not good for an external hard drive.
2) The overall performance seems a bit slower than what I was used to when I had Mac os sierra 10.12.6 installed, especially on boot.
3) I have graphic glitches on boot that force me to connect an HDMI cable or wait for the screen to shut off to fix it.
I got rid of this issue with the GUI screen resolution set to 1024x768 but I'm not happy with it.
I didn't have to do this in Sierra, the issue was there on the boot screen for a few seconds and then everything returned to normal right before the login screen popped up.
4) Wifi is weak and Bluetooth is not showing up, not even in the preferences pane but I have a damaged cable that is related to it that it needs to be fixed or replaced so we'll save it for later.
GENERAL HELP REQUEST:
Can you check my EFi and help me diagnose what is causing the problems listed above?
It would be great
SIDE NOTES:
1) Nvidia graphic is not enabled because someone told me that it is not necessary. I don't know, tell me your opinion.
2) I leave my EFI, ioreg file, and dcpi manager screenshots down below. Thanks!!!
