[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70 using Clover UEFI (10.11)

[the-braveknight]

A big thank you to thebraveknight and RehabMan for continuing support here.

I upgraded from Yosemite straight to Sierra (after a few test with usb-stick configs beforehand) using the Appstore.
It actually worked, some restarts in between and graphic flickering on boot but it finally went there. Thank you again.

I only use the Z50 for OSX and have no patched BIOS (so no internal WIFI, OK)

I have thus disabled WIFI and discrete graphics in BIOS to save battery life. (lasts only about 2hrs still)
This is not as per guide - my question here is would you recommend enabling those and running the scripts again?

Brightness Keys dont work anymore but it can be set using the slider in display preferences.

CPU (about...) shows 2.39ghz no matter what is set in config.plist.

Sleep on LID close works better than before. (Press key to wakeup)

And finally, which BIOS version are you using ?

If you don't have a working Wi-Fi chip then it doesn't matter whether you enable it in BIOS or not. But you should keep the discrete graphics enabled in BIOS as per the guide, it should be disabled by the patches when booting macOS.

Brightness keys should work if you followed the guide correctly, read post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Did you connect all antenna leads?

My keyboard and trackpad aren't functioning properly. how can I fix them? I'm currently using USB keyboard and mouse. i included the patchmatic report in this post
edit: I screenshotted the terminal command outputs: http://imgur.com/a/OUdEX
edit 2: looks like I did the patchmatic part wrong. I'm gonna reupload it. (I assumed that the correct folder has a bunch of ssdt.aml files)

To follow up: I reenabled discrete graphics in bios, and also the fn/brightness keys are now working again.
I dont know how this is related technically, but thanks again to the-braveknight for pointing this out.
(The only issue so far being the (unsolved per FAQ) crashing of activity monitor)

I think I was missing the IOReg file and the clover folder. They are attached to this post

Everything looks good as far as I can tell, you might want to be more specific about your issue.

Did you test you trackpad/keyboard on Windows?

 

[blueflugames]

I booted into windows and everything worked fine.
I will post screenshots/videos of my issue to be more specific
The link to the videos is: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bybcw-V_yR0-cUY3YTV0dHJ6elE?usp=sharing

I first noticed this issue when I installed Xcode on my computer (idk if that helps)
I uninstalled it and the issue is still there.
