Thanks @jaymonkey and @zephyrbj, this worked for me. Frankly not sure how much use this is to me, but cool! My x360 is very similar -- I'm attaching my "problem reporting files" in case anyone wants to look at the nitty gritty details. What I did: From...

My SSD is formatted APFS and I am on High Sierra. I could not find much info about setting up dual booting on APFS. Is it OK to open up free space on the drive (new partition) with Disk Utility in this case? Not sure if needed but problem reporting files attached just in case.

my 2c 1. filevault is good generally, but 2. that's what I did and it was not the right thing to do. that's why I just did a search on "apfs fielvault" and found your post 3. booting from another drive and mounting the apfs filevault volume? easy. booting from the apfs filevault drive...

Thanks for your comment on that -- I'd like to try it. I patched my DSDT using the battery_HP-G6-2221ss.txt from RehabMan's repo (as per olirehacek's guide). As things stand, my battery status info disappears from the menu bar sometimes, but what are hallmarks of a more functional patch? Is...

Thanks so much for your response! Very helpful to get pointers toward things I don't know enough about. I do have PluginType set to true in my clover config.plist>>ACPI>>SSDT. One thing I know I can do is stop using the USBInjectAll.kext and only inject the proper ports. But I'm not sure...

Hi @ddegrasse, I was just looking at power consumption on my x360 as well. I haven't assessed the battery life, but it looks like my resting power consumption may be a bit higher than yours. 1. From https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-native-power-management-for-laptops.175801/ I got the...

Hi rakeen0595, I used the special clover version from @ddegrasse and it worked. But I switched to using the preloader.efi file he made available. Can't say I'm sure which is the better method. Here is where his clover was mentioned: [Guide] Sierra on HP Spectre x360 (Late-2016 / Early-2017...

Thanks RehabMan. It hadn't sunken in that patching ACPI should occur at the beginning of the post-installation process.

So far I have 4k (though not the full retina options in my system prefs) without this kext. Because of that, I did not go deeper into the your response to "Q. Are QHD+/UHD laptop displays supported?" (where CoreDisplayFixup.kext is specified). I have not yet gotten to any updates for...

Yes thanks! I made an edit to clarifiy that in my notes above.

Sorry for the delay answering your question, RehabMan. I had missed the "_spoof" file initially and was stuck for a while (though I am not sure now what the symptom was) until I made the config.plist file edits I documented in my notes above. From my notes, and revisiting the guide, it...

I was hoping to power through this on my own but I'm out of my depth and could use guidance. I installed High Sierra on APFS on my Coffee Lake Spectre x360's SSD using RehabMan's installation instructions. I can boot from the SSD with clover. I am trying to proceed with "post installation...

Thanks for calling that out! My next step will be to read about how to implement that properly.

I haven't had time to get too far on my Coffee Lake Spectre x360. I have gotten through installation and getting clover on the internal ssd so it boots without the USB. I have 4k video, but haven't tested it much.so this may not be the answer you need. I followed Rehabman's Clover guide...
