Bluetooth and Internal Camera Bluetooth will not work if MacOS does not see it on an internal USB port. This requires proper USB mapping. I used USBtoolbox on Windows for this. I would recommend using this over trying to map the internal ports on macos. The tool generates the map embedded in...

I have the following graphics processor on my laptop: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196449/intel-core-i7-10510u-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz.html Graphics Processor Properties: Video Adapter Intel Comet Lake-U GT2 - Integrated Graphics Controller [V0] GPU Code...

Power management and sleep: Added CPUFriend and generated the data kext using CPUFriendFriend using a LFM of 800Mhz. Does not seem to require SSDT-Plug to be enabled. The dortania guide suggests looking for CP00. But newer CPUs identify themself as PR00. So, if you see CP00 in...

Audio: ALC 257 works with layout 99. Backlight: Works with prebuilt SSDT-PNLF.aml BrightnessKeys.kext to enable brightness control keys Battery status: Works after adding SMCBatteryManager.kext and ECEnabler.kext

I tried patching the IONVMeFamily kext, but no cigar. Finally, I decided to replace the Samsung NVMe with a WD one... and we're back in business - the installation completed without any kernel panics! Now working on post-install config. Will update as I make progress.

Ah right... I meant is there a ref that i can use for patching kexts. I tried looking for it, but couldn't find any on patching kexts. I know how to do this in using Clover KextsToPatch, but i need the equivalent in Opencore,

The Samsung drive is indeed a bummer! PM981 drives are notorious for kernel crashes under load. Mine is PM81a (MZVLB512HBJQ-000L7), but that does not appear to make a difference. I'm already using latest NVMeFix. Wondering if Find : f6c1100f 85410100 00, Replace : f6c1010f 85410100 00 in...

The installer freezes at 'About 15 mins remaining' mark. Trying to solve that...

Setting up the installer by following dortania guide. Created a 14.3.1 offline installer from a MacOS Machine, and used 0.9.8 opencore base files. EFI drivers: We need only the following EFI drivers: OpenRuntime.efi OpenCanopy.efi ResetNvramEntry.efi HfsPlus.efi (From acidanthera's github...

TLDR: Grab my EFI from the repo, update your system info, and you should be all set. For details on how I got each component working please read my posts below. I will cleanup and consolidate the guide in this post soon. My EFI will be available at this...

You're right the 10th gen intel processors aren't much of a upgrade from the 8th gen. But if you are at 8BG, the extra RAM is definitely worth it. Go for it! I will update my repo in coming weeks to the latest drivers and opencore.

your computer looks same as mine, except for the processor. So, I think rest of the settings should require no changes for you.

I can confirm, this fixes the backlight problem. Many thanks for pointing it out.

Right, check the bios settings for boot disk selection, and boot selection timeout.

Well... I added the flag, and it seems to have fixed the problem! Thanks for pointing it out... sometimes you need to be pointed at the obvious. (I say seems to have fixed the problem because the problem is intermittent. I havent encountered it in my quick tests, but will keep a watch and...
