S3 391 6862, with i5-3317u and 4GB memory. I changed the old harddrive to an intel ssd, and I also changed some card inside in order to use a half mini pcie wifi card aw-ce123h.
I upgraded from 10.9.5 with unibeast.
So far,
working: wifi, bt, qe/ci, alc269, sleep/wake, webcam, hdmi, mirror display, app store
not working: nvram, iMessage
problems:
1. alps touchpad cannot be identified in VoodooPS2Controller
2. when injecting a headphone, i have to sleep/wake up the laptop to make it work, and when ejecting it, I have to do the same job.
3. usb 3.0, i don’t think it enough stable, so i just disabled it.
1. I followed this guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/114040-guide-acer-s3-391-ivy-bridge.html to install mavericks in my laptop.
2. after having installed yosemite with unibeast, i deleted the old trackpad driver ElanTouchPad otherwise there would be a kernel panic.
3. with nvram, Chimera( of all versions) complained “memory allocation error”, so I had to delete it.
4. before patching or installing any third-pary drivers, "kext-dev-mode=1” must be added to kernel flags. I didn’t know it so that I had wasted much time.
5. for wifi, i used the dsdt method and patched the driver according to this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/page-4#entry2039281
6. for bt, i have done nothing because I installed BTFirmwareUploader in the past.
7. for hd4000 and alc269, i patched the 2 new original drivers according to the guide I mentioned.
8. patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement with AICPMPatch.
9. I tried the latest Elantouchpad, it worked but there were two problems:
(1) Fn button also functions for increasing the brightness
(2) the trackpad didn’t work after waking up.
10. whenever wifi works weird, reboot to bios and restore to the default settings. When I tried to make the wifi work, everything seemed fine, but its status was always off, and I couldn’t turn it on. finally when I tried to restore the default settings of bios, it worked……
Maybe i will try to find a solution for the trackpad or just wait for a new driver, but now I am just going to enjoy the new system. Is there anyone else who also thinks the new flat UI is too ugly???
==========================
Update:
I tried many drivers of bluetooth and trackpad, and I found that none of the latest drivers worked well. At the end, I installed two old drivers, ElanTouchpad 2.5 and BTFirmwareUploader 2.3, which work very well now.
