So, sleep has ultimately been my #1 problem so far. I don't have proof, but I believe it to be related to why my finder.app got corrupted (ended up having to reformat).
What happens is:
When I press sleep from menu, or close lid, the screen will turn off and the machine will look to be sleeping. The fans eventually spin down and it's quiet. When I open the lid back up, nothing happens. Lid stays dark. Nothing will wake the machine back up, not pressing the trackpad, not pressing the power button. The only way I can get back up and running is to hold the power button and fully shut the laptop off (which is what I think caused my Finder issues). Interestingly, I did notice if I press the caps lock key, it lights on and off. Id assume this shouldn't happen if the machine is sleeping.
So that leads me to the possibilities of
1)the laptop isn't really sleeping, but merely turning off the screen and not turning the screen back on when its reopened. The fans do spin down after 30-45 seconds, maybe its just coincidental.
2)the laptop is sleeping, but nothing is working to wake it back up.
I did check my DSDT, and I have a _WAK method in there, and in fact the DSDT I'm using was working just fine for sleep/wake in Mojave. Is anyone else having problems like this, or is there something wrong in my files?
Now, before you say it, YES I know my kexts are currently in Clover/Kexts/Other and nothing is in L/E. I will move the kexts over to L/E but I'm trying to stamp out problems on a non APFS partition first so if something goes wrong I can access it from windows without paid software. Prior to my Finder.app corrupting I did in fact move everything over to L/E with just essentials in Clover/Kexts/Other, but I still had sleep/wake issues even with the kexts in L/E.
