Added 128 GB mSata
Prepared BIOS by adding Supervisor Password, disabling Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Boot
On another MAC, downloaded Mavericks 10.9.4 from App Store, Unibeast 4.0 and Multibeast Mavericks 6.3.1 from tonymacx86 (Thanks Tonymac and the very supportive community)
Created Mavericks Installer following the guide Step 2 (1 through 18)
Address Haswell Early Reboot Issues by following Post 1 in "Haswell early reboot, Mavericks, locked MSRs, and HP Envy 15-J063CL (i7-4700MQ)" (Thanks Rehabman).
Installed Mavericks on my Acer V5 573P (Again, follow steps in post 1 of Haswell early reboot thread)
(Have a USB Keyboard and Mouse attached as Laptops Keyboard and trackpad do not work despite selecting laptop support in Unibeast)
Installed Chimera and voodoo PS 2 kexts through Multibeast
Dragged/Dropped Extras folder from Installer USB to the Mavericks Root
What works:
1. USB2/USB3 ports
2. Trackpad
3. Camera
4. Display (1080p) at about half brightness (Edit: Brightness at full now using Rehabmans DSDT and SSDT patches ... see post #11)
5. Graphic (HD4400) with full acceleration
6. Ethernet Card (Probably, shows up but haven't tested it)
7. Bluetooth (Seems functional but have not detected my BT mouse or any other device so far)
8. Restart
9. Power management
What doesn't work:
1. Card Reader
2. Wifi (Probably won't ever work either)
3. Sound
4. Touchscreen
5. Power management (Working now following post #2 below), Shut Down, Sleep
6. Speedstep
Added DWA-131 Eternal USB wifi. Installed drivers and voila, online.
Will try to fix brightness by modifying DSDT (lots of info available in forums)
Will try to fix sound same way
(Total Time, days of reading forums + a few hours preparation of USB and Installation)
