I can connect to my phone, but Handoff/Continuity is not working as you can see. (not found handoff turn on in General)

Not a desktop. Moved to laptop support.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
 
So,
"Problem Reporting":
1,2,3. in Post #1
4,5. Airport and Bluetooth save.
6. two screenshot from Status and PCI List ( I don't see the bt modul.)
8. cfg added 2.2. in txt. (obviously not the right way?)
I have Atheros AR2985 wifi.

5. What is the Console?
I find in terminal "Console" and run, All messages but I can't find "airportd".
i updated the other files, hopefully it will be okay.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool as requested.
 
I followed the wrong Reporting guide, my bad, sorry.

This script is awesome, mindblow.
I attached the folder.
Thanks!

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

But my guess is that handoff is not supported with your non-Apple BT controller. It is typical and not a surprise.
 
I installed all kexts from other folder with KextWizard.
After restart the audio is gone, then i remove voodoohda.kext with terminal and restart.
Boot is stuck at acpibatterymanager.
-v -f -x without kext or block acpimanager, same result.
I know, i messed up with installed all kexts, am i right ?

Edit: The Handoff still not working. I agreed with you.
