Actually it’s a sort of VirtualSMC plugin as it has dependencies on VirtualSMC.Nice! Thanks for that. Looks like a customized fork of VirtualSMC just for Lenovo devices. Not what I thought originally but nevertheless very cool stuff. Sounds promising!
Unless he removed that recently and changed it to work natively.
Nonetheless with all the recent changes more patching will be moved to kexts and acpi side will be enlightened quite a lot.
For example BrightnessKeys will be a VoodooPS2 plugin like VoodooInput to handle Brightness Keys for all laptop (without the need to tweak those).
We worked into that with Zhen-Zhen.
So patches for Brightness keys will not be necessary anymore.
Into YogaSMC there is a lot of development going on, the mic mute & the LED and stuff will be configured there and work natively without having to patch SSDT for that either.
Stuff like battery conservation, LED blinks and stuff.
I will need to do some cleanup on the part of ThinkPad Assistant SSDT as a lot of that manual work will be done natively with YogaSMC.
We may need to pinpoint Mszturc to YogaSMC repository to do some cleanup on ThinkPad Assistant
VoodooRMI is also the new touchpad kext which works perfect.
VoodooSMBUS is also the other SMBUS kext which also enables additional Power Management and supports VoodooRMI.
Itlwm is the next “dream come true” as Intel cards now work and we don’t need to deal with Bios Mods and leave ourself exposed by using older bios versions which have security holes and stuff.
Unless you guys have mods on latest ones.
The reason i skipped two releases is that i have been busy with real life stuff current version is stable enough as of now as it is.
macOS Big Sur beta is still buggy, on my MBP especially, so i will be busy for two more weeks with real life things and after that i may possibly have more time for hackintosh.
Hopefully by that time, more development happens on YogaSMC and Itlwm and IntelBluetoothFirmware.
Hackintosh is seeing a lot of excellent development recently and the experience will become much better soon.
Im on Windows and Linux right now mostly.
Will test charging iPhone XS Max and iPads a bit more to see & confirm if it really is 100% a hardware or software issue as this problem sort of remains a mystery.
I really wish at this point someone ports the Linux Card Reader driver from Linux.
It is the only perfect solution guaranteed to solve the problem and add support for the entire Card Readers available on the market.
