[Guide] Lenovo Ideapad S340 Laptop on Catalina

[tejam]

can anyone help me with the battery indicator?

I chose an SMBIOS of a Macbook with TouchID bar. That has been causing lags during authentication screens. I found the fix... it's called NoTouchID. Simply install the kext and reboot.

You should have VirtualSMC.kext and SMCBatteryManger.kext installed (probably in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other)

Open terminal and type in...
kextstat | grep SMC
make sure SMCBatteryManager is listed (which means it's loaded).

Open System Preferences and choose Energy Saver. Make sure "Show Battery Status" is checked.

I did that. I wanted to ask you something about the wifi card. I ordered the same model as you with the adapter, but when i go to replace it the adapter and the card are longer than the space provided in my Computer. So basically it works but the space is not enough and when i close the back cover i can see that it doesn't close perfectly. Do you have the same ? I think my machine is different than yours for sure

EDIT: i could install the wifi card, and the bluetooth is perfectly working. Wifi instead sometimes works sometimes not. Don't know why

Yes, your motherboard layout is different from mine. Mine has sufficient space for card, and there's no problem when the cover is closed.

Do you know if I can use a different wifi card, compatible with hackintosh, and with airdrop and so on working?

i have installed it using kext wizard several times but it doesn't show :/

Good morning everyone. Purchased an adapter with the BCM94360CS2 adapter, but does not work WiFi. More precisely, the system is defined, but shows that there are no available networks. Could this be a problem with the adapter himself? In win10 it also doesn't show any network.

@tejam You have FakeSMC installed somewhere. Use *either* FakeSMC or VirtualSMC for hackintosh. As for this build, VirtualSMC with its SMCbatterymanager kext work well. I don't know what kext wizard is. Though it's easy enough to use the EFI folder from post #1 and drag-and-drop (copy/paste) it onto your EFI partition. Clover Configurator is a great tool for mounting the EFI partition and modifying the clover configuration file as needed.

@maksim7293 Did you re-attached the antenna cables to the BCM94360CS2 module?

@curtistn

@maksim7293 Did you re-attached the antenna cables to the BCM94360CS2 module?

Yes of course. Replugged the antennas, tried to put those that came complete with the adapter. No network is visible. The seller on Ali persistently talks about the change of the channel
