as per guide, use OsxAptioFixDrv-64 instead
What do you mean? Instead of what? OsxAptiofixDrv-64 is in my drivers64 folder. Check attached pic.

That is clearly OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi not OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi. Note also that not your drivers64 folder, but rather the drivers64UEFI folder (probably a typo on your part).
Note: If you get a "garbled" screen when booting the installer in UEFI mode, enable legacy boot and/or CSM in BIOS (but still boot UEFI). Enabling legacy boot/CSM generally tends to clear that problem.
That was completely my bad (as usual lol), the names were similar and I confused.
Anyway, since I don't have a mac to grab the official clover package and get the OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi file, I googled it and installed this one (https://github.com/MegaCookie/Lenovo-Y580-OSX-Installer-Clover/blob/master/Clover UEFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi), and deleted "OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi".
That worked fine and got me to the installer, which is pretty much unreadable (check pic). I did find the part of the guide that states:
However, If I enable legacy boot (disabling UEFI) my PC goes straight into Windows and not clover, I guess it ignores all uefi drives. Check pic as well.
Thanks-
PD: I can't find anything CSM related in my BIOS (which is pretty basic compared to my Desktop BIOS).
PD2: As for the folder name, yes, it was indeed a typo, my bad once again!
I can provide pics of all my BIOS tabs if that would be of any help, let me know!
Enable legacy boot/CSM, but keep UEFI enabled. Continue to boot UEFI.
That's what I have now but the installer is awful.
If I enable "UEFI Boot support" (meaning it allows both legacy AND UEFI), I can get to the installer, which is pretty much non-readable.
If I disable "UEFI Boot Support" (Meaning it will only allow Legacy), it completely ignores clover/usb stick and goes straight into Windows.
You can check the pic on my previous post which shows how the BIOS describes both options.
Your laptop may not support CSM (you would know if you tried to install Win7).
You can experiment with the config.plist/GUI/ScreenResolution...
No idea which laptop you have (or even if you have a laptop...)... your profile is not filled out as per request in post #1.
Please fix before your next reply.
How can I check for CSM support?
What do you mean by "experiment"? what should I put there?
I uploaded a file with my FULL laptop specifications. I'll upload it again to this post.
General question, if graphics are screwed up on the installer, it means they will also be screwed once the OS is actually installed?
The Win7 installer will not boot UEFI without CSM support.
Try different values, such as 1024x768.
Not useful. Your profile must indicate your laptop specs, such that it is visible with each post.
Predicting the future is not possible.
That's the only way?
I don't have a win7 installation, if nothing else works I'll give that a try and let you know.
Tried. Issue persists. Note: On your 1600x900 config.plist file the default resolution set by you is 1920x1080 and not 1600x900, is this correct even though its meant for 1600x900?
I provided that file because it literally describes every single aspect of my laptop, unlike what could fit on my profile/signature.
As for the valid/invalid platform ids, should I just put 0x12345678 or..?
