Here you go friend. I dug this up and it has most of everything working for me. Killer WiFi cards are not supported so it must be replaced with something like this, which has compatibility.

Use Clover Configurator to mount the EFI of your current bootable USB and replace the clover folder with this one. Then follow the steps of the regular installation guide. When you use MultiBeast to boot off your hard disk, copy the EFI from your USB to the installed efi.

As RehabMan said, this installation has the old OsxAptioFix*.efi + EmuVariable.efi in drivers64uefi. Through the Clover updater you can customize an install to use AptioMemoryFix instead.

To get iMessage working:
Navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Delete "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and "preferences.plist"

In your Clover folder use plist editor pro and add an entry inside the 'boot' value called IgnoreNVRAMBoot
set it to a boolean value 'NO'

Then open terminal and type:
cd ~/Library/Caches/
rm -R com.apple.Messages*
rm -R com.apple.imfoundation*
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.iChat*
rm com.apple.imagent*
rm com.apple.imessage*
rm com.apple.imservice*
rm -R ~/Library/Messages/

After you're done with that then open the clover folder and open the config.plist with Clover Configurator. Click SMBIOS and click 'generate new' next to the serial number a few times.

Copy that number generated serial number and put it inside this link:
https://checkcoverage.apple.com

if you receive an error you are good to go!

Navigate to RTvariables and click the generate button above ROM. Copy the number next to the MLB into the MLB field.

Finally click system parameters and generate new next to custom UUID. Copy that long set of characters into ur SMBIOS 'SmUUID' field.

Hey guys, any luck with Backlight Control on the GTX1070 built-in G-SYNC panel? I've managed to get the screen recognized as Built-in, and the slider is there (even the keyboard shortcuts work) However neither the slider nor the hotkeys have any effect on the screen brightness.

Maybe @Ericarthurc could chime in on this?

Wow. How can you make the screen recognized as built-in gsync? Please share to me. Thanks
 
Thanks. So, you can control brightness native with Gsync panel. I found solution to make recognized built in display and slider brightness is show. But they dont work.
I have to use app brightness slider in appstore instead.

Please go ahead and use my clovers everything works with those, there is a guide as well for the same.

Intel GPU will not work on Gsync panels cos it is hard wired to the usb-c(thunderbolt port) only nvidia will work. Post any questions once you have tried my clover and make sure to go through all the steps.
