Here's my Clover config file, several of these flags / options are necessary for it to boot.

Not sure of the point. The config.plist cannot be analysed without complete EFI/Clover folder as context.

One strange thing was that none of my "unsigned" aka Hackintosh kexts were removed from /S/L/E as the docs I've read say should happen when El Capitan is installed.

Myth.

But I did boot up with the CsrActiveConfig 0x3 flags in Clover, so I guess that my have disabled the "Incompatible Items" removal process.

No such process, at least not as it relates to normal hack kexts.

This is to help others with an Asus ROG GL551JK know what boot flags / options to use boot with clover. Default selections won't allow this system to boot OS X with clover.

What do you mean by "default selections"? If you mean the config.plist created by the Clover installer... it never works for anything. If you mean Unibeast config.plist, it is optimized for desktops (primarily Gigabyte).

For laptop config.plist files, see those linked from the laptop guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html

Hi knastvaerk, I see that there are many people who want a step by step tutorial and I promised that I will do one when I have time.
I have to motivate myself and do it this weekend. I have to do it :)
So, be patient or try by yourself if u can't wait but this time i'll do it!:)

Obviously, I did not write all the steps that have been repeated countless times and I suggest going to the reference thread to check the preparation of the installation media, the installation phase ... thank you to Rehabman for his posts.

With this thread and mine you will have all the informations you need. Don't hesitate if you have some questions and if you find better options to the laptop! (I think about the trackpad witch is slow even at maximum speed...)
 
Hi all! I installed 10.11 on my notebook, i can get working sound, brightness, backlight and intel video, of course no wifi/bluetooth card btw a MT7630E, i take a look at my system information tool and nvidia card is detected, is possible to get working?
