Just one more Question. Did anybody get to make iMessage and FaceTime work? And yes, I changed the SMBIOS a couple of times now. It is not an urgent issue I'm just being curious if anybody got it to work.

Guys with 4K, I believe it is what it is. Updated guide, the link below will help you understand.
  • You will screens will unfortunately max out at 48Hz. It doesn't appear to be fixed unless OpenCore devs decide to implement it. Link here
The only thing I can think of is trying to make macOS see the screen as external... USB-C to HDMI 2.0 gives 4K 60 without issues. I wonder if there is a way to trick it? This is beyond my pay grade. Sorry.
Seems like 4K displays are not supported by apple, i tried my displays EDID and it did not work. Maybe we can find a 2k EDID and see if that would increase HZ
 
Anyone know how to fix my HDMI issues after sleep? Monitor doesn't work until I unplug and replug it in.

Also, where exactly in the UEFI do I disable CSM? I'm not seeing it at all (probably just blind though).

Also, I have the "M.2 NGFF WiFi Network adapter card Broadcom BCM94360NG Wireless Card 1200M BT4.0" and wifi works but not bluetooth. Any ideas how I can set this up to work with this?

Thank you!

Thank you for the excellent guide , it got me further then i was expecting as this is my first time doing it.
After reading alot i am able to start the installation process but it suddenly crash every time on 9,10 minutes reaming time.
After restarting i am able to see the drive where i installed macos in opencore picker but if i chose it i am in a restart loop.
I used the 4 k config.plist
I followed the instructios and disabled CFG verified it as well. Also the recommened options.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Alright, i am happy to say that i have successfully installed following this guide.
The error i was facing before was due to the fact that before installing the OS i was erasing my drive in "Journaled" fs format. Once i changed to to APFS the install went smoothly.
I am leaving the last post for Refrence if some one else ran into same problem.

The install script for ComboJack has a typo on line 1 & 4
Bash:
sudo cp ComboJack /usr/local/bin
sudo cp hda-verb /usr/local/bin
Without the trailing "/" its overwriting the bin folder.
I changed it to
sudo cp ComboJack /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp hda-verb /usr/local/bin/
And it worked fine.
Thank you @blazinsmokey for your work.

Somebody tried the new macOS 11.1?
 
@blazinsmokey after checking your config I found a view things.

alcid in boot-args? Isn't it enough as layout-id in DeviceProperties?

also
Code:
<key>device\_type</key>
<string>Airport Extreme</string>
should be?
Code:
<key>device_type</key>
<string>Airport Extreme</string>

----

I also updated to 11.1 without problem
 
I just want to make it clear to everyone my laptop just sits on my desk closed, unplugged and collecting dust. I only took on this project(again) b/c I was bored during Thanksgiving holiday. So I'm sorry if I can't test stuff and be as involved. I'm glad people are going through and changing things and finding errors. I will try to keep up!

@LeLunZ Thanks for actually looking through, yea that's a typo on device type. Don't think it has any adverse effects, probably don't even need to inject device properties for wifi at all actually. Hmm I thought I removed the device properties for audio and just using the bootargs b/c AppleALC does it better anyways. I read that if you can avoid device properties it would be desirable. Mind testing to see if Audio/Wif/BTi still works fine when removing device properties?

@Khaliq I don't believe the install scripts would overwrite, it didn't for me and it's been like that for years I only added local.

@Zacharybinx34 disable CSM is in the guide, modding UEFI. No idea on your HDMI issue, I don't have a monitor, only TV that I tested with. Maybe handshake issue, you can look at whatevergreen boot args see if there is something there that can help. Might just a macOS and your monitor issue.
