go to Hackintool click on Power and make sure Hibernatemode is set to 0 and Proximitywake is set to 0.
also some programs will prevent the laptop from sleeping on its own. for example, if I use intel-power gadget, my laptop won't sleep on its own, since intel-gadget prevents sleep
I clicked on Power in Hackintool, I only see hibernate mode, but I don't see proximitywake. Can't I just set proximitywake to 0 with terminal? Also, what would these do to the system when disabled?

I've found another issue.

So I tried to connect my laptop to my monitor via HDMI and when displayed on my monitor, there is this kind of pinkish/margenta color in it. I searched up multiple posts about this issue but I don't know how to work it out. So does anyone know a solution to this? Here is my current EFI folder

I remember when I first used your EFI file, the audio didn't work at all for the layout id 4D000000, so that's not the case.
that was actually before the ALC295PlugFix, works well now. well I guess you know more than me. your on your own at this point for headset Mic :). Good Luck to you on that

try adding -cdfon bootargs. did you try adjusting the color of the external monitor to see if a profile change would help?

you might want to do a bit more reading. keep reading you'll find what you're looking for

I already have -cdfon added in my bootargs and I did mess with the color profiles but it didn't helped at all. I think it has to do with the frambuffer values but I don't know

I've encounter another problem.
Last night before I went to bed, I closed my laptop to make it go to sleep. This morning when I woke up, I heard my CPU fan running very loud. I opened my lid and saw that the power button LED was on. I tried waking it up, but there was no response (even the Caps Lock LED gave no response when I clicked on it). I believe my system froze again so I had to force shutdown my laptop by holding the power button. I didn't know what was going on, but the bottom of my laptop felt hot, assuming that it went on for quite a while. I rebooted my laptop and it popped up a prompt saying, "Your computer restarted because of a problem," and it gave me a log of the error, but I'm not sure if this is related. Take a look right here:

At night the laptop kept heating up and in the morning I'd have to hold the power button to switch it off and on. I checked the logs and found out it kept waking, then going back to sleep, repeating that every minute or two. The reasons turned out to be GLAN (even though I switched Wake-on-LAN off everywhere) and XDCI _PWR methods, neither of them covered by the Dortania patches above. I removed the _PWR sections from my DSDT, then recompiled it. All is fine now.

I don't know how to not use the DSDT – Dortania guide seems a bit unclear on that, and I have quite a lot of patches there in my DSDT. Right now, though, with the DSDT in the ACPI folder, the only thing that still doesn't work is Apple Watch unlock… okay, and the chime. I'm too lazy to fix that one. If I had known OpenCore was going to be so much better, I would have started using it long ago… except I would still have had to wait for @Mrgeque's framebuffer fixes :D So grateful for those! How did you figure all of this out? I've spent days going through various guides, but none of them was comprehensive enough.

It's really interesting to use the multitouch touchscreen to see what macOS touch support would be like. Pinch-to-zoom is weirdly exciting, I keep using it in various programs just to see what happens. Looking forward to playing with the Control Center sliders and iOS/iPadOS apps in Big Sur. If everything continues to work so well for another week or so, I'll post a C930 guide (with full credits, of course).
I believe I have the same issue you've had (or perhaps an issue similar to yours), regarding the laptop heating up at night and holding the power to switch it off and on. Could you please take a look at the log I've uploaded in the post above and see what's going on?
 
@Mrgeque

I fixed the weird pink color from my external display. So first, what I did was I used IORegistry to locate the IGPU node. Then under the IGPU node I had to find which AppleIntelFramebuffer connector is driving my display. To find out, I had to find the connector having AppleDisplay properties with display 0 sub node. In my case, it was AppleIntelFramebuffer@1. Then I opened my config.plist with OC configurator and inputted framebuffer-con1-type = 00080000 (this is for HDMI) and framebuffer-con1-enable = 01000000 under DeviceProperties of PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0). I rebooted my laptop and connected to my monitor, and that pinkish color went away. Now my monitor is displaying everything normal.

Until now, I still need support on fixing my sleep issue mentioned on the posts above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
@JianGaming run this command after you force-restart the laptop:

log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"

…and tell me what the output is. It should give you the particular methods in DSDT that wake the laptop right after it sleeps (that's what's happening).
