More great news with my ASUS Zenbook UX430 build progress!
I successfully implemented screen brightness control using AppleBacklightInjector and function key mapping!
There are two parts to this;
First part involves SSDT-PNLF.aml + config.plist patches + AppleBacklightInjector.kext. Full details can be found here in this guide by @RehabMan https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...g-applebacklightinjector-kext.218222/page-121
The second part involves mapping your brightness keys to control brightness via function keys, etc. This thread was especially helpful thanks to @gulios since I have a very similar laptop as him: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-asus-ux430ua-keyboard-backlighting.226619/
[EDIT] technically there is a third part: before any of this, as a prerequisite you must have your graphics implemented correctly. (QE/CI is a pre-requisite for brightness control).
This is also a good thread for mapping:https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/
Still to be fixed / addressed:
- sound for ALC294 using Apple HDA Patcher
- battery status
- replace internal wifi via Broadcom wifi adapter
- strange self restarts after shutdown?
- HDMI video out (audio too?)
- bluetooth
