Hello!

I managed to get it done!

Thanks for all your work and info to make it happen!

By the way, do I still need to have AppleSmartBattery.kext?

Thanks!

No such thing as AppleSmartBattery.kext.

There is ACPIBatteryManager.kext, which, of course, is needed.

There is AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext which is for Macs and can remain in place as it was put there by the OS X installer.

Thank you!


Sorry I was wrong, the correct name of the kext is the one you mention above, and I will leave it in there, I was thinking to remove it if any conflict.

Thanks one more time for your time and GREAT Work!

Did you try any of the existing Acer patches already in the repo?

Note:

Speedy-OSX:battery RehabMan$ grep 591 *.txt

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,

if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Hello, RehabMan.

After patching,I get my battery status work,but it is imperfect.The remaining time is wrong,so the battery icon always turn red.Besides,the battery charge is not equal to that shown in HWmonitor.


Here is the patchmatic,ioreg,EFI/Clover folder(I have delete themes folder to reduce size).
