I installed chameleon, but the computer won't even get to it from the HDD, like if I dind't install it at all

Could be you have a 4k/AF disk.

Start at step 4 (step 1-3 are review).

Yes, that's it!

Yes, that's it!

I didn't know this could happen with an external, but...

OK. Good to know...

YEEEESSS!! It worked, it boots with no flags!!

So here is what I did:

Patched the DSDT with:
into definitionblock code_regex External\s+\(_SB_\.ISCT\) remove_matched;
IRQ Fix
Audio Layout 12
Rename GFX0 to IGPU

Then I used the ProBook Installer 4x0s G0 option for "OS X support kexts" and install Chameleon
Used the ProBook installer to extract and install an SSDT
Used Multibeast for iMac14,2. Set DropSSDT=Y and to install the dsdt.aml I made before
Used Chameleon Wizard for GraphicsEnabler=Y IntelAzulFB=12

Here's what I didn't do:
GeneratePStates=N GenerateCStates=N
Create your own MacBookPro11,2 smbios.plist
Set the Graphics Mode to your resolution
For LCD brightness, apply DSDT patch "Brightness Fix (Haswell)"
install ACPIBacklight.kext
For battery status, a new battery patch will be required
card reader is Realtek (VoodooSDHC is a possibility but the kext probably needs work).
Special key mappings

Good progress!

Can you post ioreg... I'd like to take a look at what you have so far: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html

You have working audio?

Audio is working, trackpad is strange, no 3 finger gestures and the acceleration is dodgy
here is the ioregView attachment 80056

The only three finger gestures implemented are 3-finger swipes and those you must configure in SysPrefs->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts (do the swipe instead of pressing keys).

As far as acceleration/tracking it should be ok provided nothing much has changed in the Synaptics pad. Chekc your settings in SysPrefs->Trackpad. Check system.log for what firmware the trackpad reports (search for 'synaptics'). Also, if you haven't already done so, you should repair permissions (Disk Utility), rebuild cache (DPCIManager), and do an EC reset: Shutdown, remove all power sources, hold power 30 sec, put everything back & restart.

What I see in ioreg is good so far... I see you loaded ACPIBattery.kext, but it is not working (needs DSDT patches).

You should probably test sleep...

Ok, done, 3 finger gestures are on, but are dodgy, they do not work all the time(almost never). In Console I see firmware version for VoodePS2Synaptics is 1.8.9 Synaptic touchpad type 0x47 version 7.5

PS. How do I fix brightness control? My eyes are killing me!!
