[Guide] Dell XPS 13 9350 macOS 10.12.1

[duguzuyang]

It is painful to use macOS on this 13-inch 1080p screen, the texts are so small, on Windows I always set DPI to 150%, on macOS it's either 100% or 200%, any advices?


EDIT: Problem solved using Enable-HiDPI-OSX . 1536x864(HiDPI) works out best for me.

Anyone had any luck with the audio? macOS can't find any output (or input) device. What kexts are you guys using?

You didn't provide all files requested in post #425.
But your kextcache output shows no patched AppleHDA files installed.
Post #1 uses cloverALC...

cloverALC is a repo containing various patched AppleHDA components.
Make sure you read the README.
You should also read the ACPI patching guide linked from the FAQ.

I'm trying to patch my dsdt first before the kext, and I'm going through the tutorial u made, but it wouldn't let me copy the iasl to my /usr/bin/ (restricted). I tried typing

csrutil disable

through the terminal from recovery to disable it, but it still wouldn't let me copy it over

The problem is your config.plist settings.
See guide for correct plists with SIP properly disabled.
