[Guide] How to patch DSDT for working battery status

[notmacowner]

Hi, i need help with power management:

I have HP Omen 15 ce0xx
i7-7700HQ
HM175
HD630/ GTX1050

MacOS seems to mess up my battery. Its working ok on win10 but if I boot macOS it can charge upto 100%. But when I unplug it and let it discharge, it won't charge again. When I boot up win10, it won't charge as well unless I do a CMOS reset. I am using HP-DV6-3165sf patch as per this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/attachments/omen15_hackintosh-pdf.322288/.

ACPIBatteryManager.kext in /L/E..
BIOS updated to F.19

I tried adding the disable Nvidia part on the patch as per guide but it results in error when compiling. Also, I cannot boot with other clover versions other than Rehabman's. I have no background in programming/coding. Tried reading RM's guide for patching battery several times but it seems I don't have the capacity to understand it

@GffMaC help please?

Thanks in advance!

edit: Was able to do the Nvidia disable patch as per guide. Just had to manually type it in. Copy paste somehow resulted in error. Still getting the battery problem.

I need help, I have an laptop asus model N61VN , I tried to patch the DSDT to see the battery charge, I used the two patches available for asus laptop and none works.

I am desperate, I have tried to install voodoo battery but it breaks my system and I have to install everything again.

I attach my original DSDT

Can someone please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i tried to patch my DSDT to make the battery work and it seems that i am missing something.
I found only three 16bit and one 256bit used variables in my DSDT-EmbeddedControl and patched all of them and added required functions to read/write the new variables, but does not work.
Just to be sure that i corectly understood from post #1 of this thread only used variables which have values grater than 8bit should be patched, right? The one unused ones could be left untouched, right?
I have attached the origianl DSDT.aml obtained with F4 and the DSDT.dsl patched for battery.

@FreeJHack ,

do I need any patch for my battery ?
Battery percentage is working but it sometimes goes from 26% to 6% instantly and I don't know if it is a hardware or a software thing.

If the percentage shown in the menu bar is correct, the charging mode is displayed, most probably it's a battery issue.
Let the laptop running, if it shutdown around zero is certainly a battery problem...

Do you see any patch needed from my debug files?

After corrected few more errors in my DSDT i installed the debug version of ACPIBatteryManager and saw following error
ACPIBatteryManager: getBatterySTA called
ACPIBatteryManager: evaluateObject error 0xe00002bc
And suddenly realized that i had a bulk replace _STA, reverted the patch and the battery status is working perfectly.
So, only used values greater than 8bit should be changed after-all indeed.

You have no kext attached to your BAT0 device...
You're using VirtualSMC, refer to instructions

What do you mean?
I have SMCbatterymanager.kext

Refer to VirtulaSMC instructions or you may want to replace with FakeSMC and use AppleSmartBatteryManager...
