Thanks for the guide. I've been trying this out on my Dell 7348 i5-5200u. The graphics was up and running after a few attempts, and the bluetooth and USB are just fine without the guide's help. The problems are with my wifi (still waiting for shipment of my new wifi card), audio drivers, and also the power management stuff (can't wake after sleep).

I have tried the audio drivers with the attached AppleHDADummy.kext and the native AppleHDA.kext, and copied the patches within your config.plist (but I haven't yet added SSDT or DSDT), but neither of the kexts are loaded, no matter if I inject with '3' or with 'Yes'. So I think maybe your DSDT has something to do with audio, which is not attached at the post.

So could you please provide your DSDT file, or (if it isn't related to the audio driver) a solution to my problem?

Audio with patched AppleHDA requires correct ACPI patches. They are not optional.

Always a bad idea to use ACPI files from another computer. You need to patch your own.

You need to put the AppleHDADummy.kext in Library/Extension (or SLE). It doesn't work in Clover/kexts.

All DSDT patching is done on the fly via the config.plist.

Post Install


This guide is based on the new method used by RehabMan, called 'Live Patch' or 'hotpatch'.
The DSDT / SSDTs patches are applied by config.plist with the help of SSDT-HACK.aml


Install Clover UEFI in the HDD
it covered at the same guide suggested above

Mount EFI Partition
Code: 
[COLOR=#000000]diskutil mount disk0s1

*** edit config.plist and insert your own serial number ***
DO NOT use Clover Configurator for this. It will destroy important settings in config.plist
