Re: audio. There is a kext file I am using for the Realtek ALC 283. I've never posted up a kext file in this forum. Are we allowed to do that? I can share the one I am using (which is the only one that has worked for me, and I've tried several)

Re: battery meter. No, I have never been able to get this figured out. I tried everything. Keep in mind that I am using the 1.07 BIOS and you have the 1.13, so Acer may have changed something and by using Rehabman's tutorial on battery status, this may work now. If you ever get this figured out, please report back (and share your procedure). This is driving me nuts. I'm hesitant to upgrade the BIOS because my worry is that I will toast something.

Re: touchpad. Yes, this works perfectly for me (even tap to click). Are you using the VoodooPS2Controller.kext? I think this is the kext to get the touchpad working.

Thanks

ALC283 is the same as my Lenovo u430. You can use AppleHDA_ALC283.kext in my u430 repo...

https://github.com/RehabMan/Lenovo-U430-Touch-DSDT-Patch

Requirements:
- Clover bootloader
- config.plist must have the three AppleHDA patches from my config.plist in the repo
- AppleHDA.kext must be vanilla
- CodecCommander.kext installed to /S/L/E: https://github.com/RehabMan/EAPD-Codec-Commander
- AppleHDA_ALC283.kext installed to /S/L/E
- rebuild cache following the procedure detailed in the u430 guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...ideapad-u330-u430-u530-using-clover-uefi.html
- DSDT patches "IRQ Fix" and "Audio Layout 12", with layout-id changed from 12 to 86.

Rehabman,

Does the headphone port(s) work with this kext? The kext that I am presently using works fine for the onboard speakers (nice and loud), but the sound off the headphone port has a weird echo (and it sounds like AM radio). Sounds like your kext is the better solution.
 
Rehabman,

Does this method survive any OSX update? Sounds like it does seeing as you are using the vanilla AppleHDA kext

Well, no one can predict the future, but it has survived all updates so far.

Hey guys,
thanks for reply to my post.

Yes, I’ve managed make ALC283 work with only headphones, with Layout ID = 1, hence without a Layout patch in DSDT. Unfortunately, no speaker output. Patched AppleHDA came from 272.18-toledaALC283 (from http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/143757-audio-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.html.
I’ve also just tried audio from RehabMan’s Lenovo guide, but it failed to work (didn’t start at all, many kernel: sound assertions in AppleHDAController and AppleHDADriver). In system report IntelHDA had Audio ID: 1, though I’ve applied the patch with layout id 86, and both _ALC283.kext and CodecCommander.kext installed. I’ve followed the guide to rebuild the caches, still no luck. I’ve reverted to my previous AppleHDA, removed the dsdt Layout-ID patch keeping just the CodecCommander, rebuilt caches and sound is back, but still only headphones are available.
I’ve also tried the kext from/">httphttp://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298663-applehda-for-yosemite, still no luck.
I’m pretty ok with sound only in headphones, but I'm still willing to experiment some more...
BTW, my battery indicator works like yours, ikayhan, i.e. when 100%, always shows I’m on battery. When below and plugged in, it shows charging, so for me it’s kinda fine. After charging the battery to 100%, unplugging leads to "Power Source: battery", plugging it again leads to "Power Source: Power Adapter". So only after starting the laptop, the power source is not accurately displayed.
For me, bigger concern is disabling the GTX860. I’ve followed RehabMan's guide, and ultimately placed the call to _OFF() in _INI of Scope (\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP) - standard patch in SSDT5. Doesn’t change anything, still Geforce is listed in system report in graphics (NVIDIA Chip Model).
Code: 
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ADR)
            //added to turn nvidia/radeon off
            //External(\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF, MethodObj)
            _OFF()
        }
Patches, I’ve applied so far:
1. IGPU rename (DSDT, SSDT4, SSDT5)
2. RTCFix, IRQFix, SMBUS Fix, Add IMEI, OSCheck (Windows 2012) (DSDT only)
3. Disable nVidia in INI (SSDT5)
I have applied as few patches as possible to have a simple testing case (I have started patching the dsdt from scratch for a second time). I have also kept the SSDT2-3 for CPU, just had to comment-out some packages. Now, as before, the nvidia disable failed to work.
BTW, I have nvidia-disable in config.plist, what does it exactly do?
Cheers,
Chemec

Dumb question, but I gotta ask ... are you placing your patched files in /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched?? I've seen people forget this simple but necessary step
 
-pxe-e61-media-test-failure-check-cable

I really don t know how to set the BIOS setting write

Note that I have already windows on the Hard Drive and i made parition on it to OS X
 
-pxe-e61-media-test-failure-check-cable error

Note that i have already in the hard drive windows on it and I just made partion on it for OS X

I really don t know how te soet the BIOS option in the right way
 
Hi.

Just joined the community and I followed your instruction step by step.
I'm not done jet and maybe I will have some questions later. :lol:

But first of all - I want to say thank you ikayhan and RehabMan.

Your tutorials are great :clap:
It helped me a lot till now.
