Also works for macOS Sierra.

• Webcam
• Sleep
• Battery indicator
• Brightness (slider and keys)
• All USB ports
• Keyboard
• Touchpad
• HDD caddy

Not working:

• FileVault 2 using the built-in keyboard (workaround: use a USB keyboard or create a separate, encrypted partition for your sensitive data instead of using FileVault)
  
• SD card reader (workaround: use a USB SD card reader)
  
• WiFi and Bluetooth (workaround: use an Android phone to tether, replace the WiFi module and mod the UEFI firmware, or use a USB dongle)
• Discrete GPU (GT 940 MX)
• Some fn keys (might need to be mapped)
• Trackpad dragging without Drag Lock
  
• Sensors?

Not tested:

• Power nap (disabled in Clover)
• Optical drives
• Safe sleep, hibernation (disabled in Clover)
• APFS
• 4k output (might require a few changes)

UEFI firmware settings (if yours don't match, or if you have issues, remove the pre-patched aml files and patch them yourself later):

• BIOS Version 3JCN29WW
• EC Version 3JEC29WW
• MTM 80SV00YKIX
• Wireless LAN [Enabled]
• Graphic Device [Discrete]
• Power Beep [Disabled]

• Secure Boot [Disabled]
• Boot Mode [UEFI]
• Fast Boot [Disabled]
• USB Boot [Enabled]
• PXE Boot to LAN [Enabled]
• IPV4 PXE First [Enabled]

Downloads:

• Clover folder
  
• DSDT/SSDT patches for MaciASL (optional)

Installation:
Either use UniBeast to create a bootable USB drive with the macOS installer and Clover EFI, or do it yourself. You can also upgrade from macOS Sierra.
Either way, you should replace your EFI/CLOVER folder with the one provided.

HoRNDIS (GPLv3 - source code here) is included, so you can use an Android phone to get internet access. You can also use an Ethernet cable to connect.

If you wish to patch the DSDT/SSDT yourself, follow this tutorial.
SSDT-CC.aml and SSDT-PNLF.aml must be copied directly to the "patched" folder in order to have sound and backlight working.

To get iMessage and FaceTime working, see An iDiot's Guide to iMessage and How to Fix iMessage.

I recommend remapping the modifier keys (System Preferences > Keyboard) as follows:
^:⌘
⌥:^
⌘:⌥

Have you successfully installed Mojave 10.14?
Hope you share your EFI. I updated via OTA but it didn't work.

Thanks a bunch! This worked wonderfully on my system!
After I got it working in Sierra, I tried to update to Mojave, but I can't get any further than to the initial black screen with an apple logo and a loading bar. It abruptly stops the entire thing about 55% through and reboots my system. I am still fairly new to this, so there might be a workaround that I don't know of. Do you know of anything?

I haven't tried at all since I got Sierra properly installed, since that covers everything I need in a mac. I have a bunch of software installed on it, and I am not exactly thrilled at the idea of formatting it in an attempt to get it to work, sorry.
