[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch

[Euro321]

Your ACPI files are not up-to-date with respect to the github project.
Maybe you forgot to use install_acpi.sh.

Your config.plist is also not from the beta_weg branch.
Seems you forgot to follow the instructions in the guide "Final config.plist".

Your kextcache output looks as expected.

Now should be okay. I looked to quickly over the commits. That's why I didn't changed updated some files.

You can find them attached.

Looks ok, but you're using the wrong SMBIOS (and that is causing some issues for you with USB port inject).
The config_4x40.plist from the repo uses MacBookPro9,2 not MacBookPro10,2.

That explains why one of the USB ports has 2.0 speeds instead of 3.0

I choose MacBookPro10,2 because it has the same CPU. I will revert.

There are rumors that handoff is better behaved on hacks in Mojave. I have not really tested it (I think it is a gimmick anyway).

Yes, RehabMan... I can confirm Handsoff actually working really well as compare to previous version of macOS.
And I always thanks to you.

Not sure about handoff (gimmick of a feature anyway). But "instant hotspot" is still troublesome.

Also note that the beta_weg really requires WhateverGreen.kext 1.2.3, which is not on github Releases, yet (current pre-built is 1.2.2)

But there should be a pre-built of 1.2.3 soon.

Without it, as just one example, HDMI will not work on HD4000 hires (it will work on HD4000 lowres though).
There are more examples, depending on hardware, since the patching properties sometimes depend on specific features that I added to WhateverGreen 1.2.3.

Hi RehabMan, Thanks for providing a great support for HP Probook laptop. I have been running 10.11.2 since 2016 then updated to 10.11.6 never have any problem for my 3 of 4540s. now clean install 10.12.6 for first laptop, then try clean install 10.13.6 second one, the hotpatch is amazing working like magic. I just finished install 2 laptop but they have same system serial number by running hotpatch and generate config file. Is the a problem? I remember "PBI-CE" installer will generate difference serial number.

My guide/repo does not generate a serial# for you at all. The serial is something you determine by config.plist/SMBIOS or smbios.plist/SMBIOS content.

Hello all. Realized that pressing multiple keys at once on the Probook 450 g5 doesnt work in some combinations. EG pressing W+S+E works, but not W+S+A or +D. This also applies to other combinations. And behaviour is the same on win10 as on 10.13.6 on this hackintosh. What do you think, hardware-error aka keyboard-firmware? Have you ever seen something like this?

This can easily be tested, eg in the Browser where you goto the URL window and just press and hold W, while holding W press S, while holding W+S additionally press A. If wondering why this might be troublesome - some ppl use the Keyboard as Piano-keys to Play chords = mult. keys at once.

Thank you all for feedback!
