Hi Y'all,
Intel HD5500, Intel Core i5-5200U 5th Gen all working on laptop!!!!
REHABMAN and TONYMACX86 please read and assist if you can...
Tools used: terminal OS X media install, laptop install guide by RehabMan (http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html) and nguyenmac (http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...l-yosemite-hp-laptops-clover-uefi.html)though mine was a mishmash of both.
Today, I have the just completed a three day experiment on my new laptop. I had a MacBook Air which I gave away for an extremely good cause, then as luck would have it my hackintosh desktop HDD suffered a massive crash, and, for now, I can't access it through the usual means. I plan to get into it later using Linux recovery tools but that's a story for another day.
So I went and got myself a new laptop. I've been a fan here for 4 or so years (since snow leopard) just not heavy on contributing. However, today, I think the time is right as I suspect I potentially have the best hackintosh laptop ever (HP eat your heart out)!!!
Acer Aspire V3-371-58C2, which if you happen to be in Australia, is sold by thegoodguys,http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/acer-v3-371-133-inches500gb-notebook-white-nxmpfsa005), I've seen it on websites and reviews in europe as well but no idea if its available in the US and Canada. Refer to my signature and attached files for specs etc. This thing is booting (after a **** load of work), and everything seems to be working fine except Intel WiFi, and the display is flickering sometimes. but other than that, Bluetooth, display at native 1366x768, webcam, audio and even the mic is working (i used voodoo 2.87for audio via MultiBeast not sure if it works natively).
Now for the bad news. This took me a few days to get it right, working on it for a few hours in the evenings after work...the BIOS is crap. The only options available to edit are set/disable supervisor, user and HDD passwords, change boot mode from UEFI to legacy, selecting secure or normal boot and changing the boot device order. Played with these options until i got it to boot OSX USB. So currently to do this need to set boot mode to UEFI, set secure boot to OFF and first boot device is USB (optional). Thats it no other options.
So, to get this thing to boot took some creativity and unorthodox ways. First of all, I would like to say the guides here for laptops helped a bit, but, in the end, I gave up on them as I found it tricky to follow a guide that references another guide that has vague reference to yet another guide. I think, if one is to put up a guide, it should be be standalone/self-sustainining, and, hence, no need to keep switching tabs on the browser. But I digress........
So, to get it up, I actually had to install Yosemite on the desktop SSD. Then, using clover, boot the SSD attached as a USB to the laptop, and, then ,clone the SSD to the laptop HDD. At this point, I can't be bothered replacing the HDD on the laptop as it has an awkward fit until I'm sure its going to be working perfect and I have decided windows 8.1 is way too slow for me as it takes over a minute to boot and even then it still seems to be doing things in the background so the computer is really slow and unresponsive. Ubuntu boots in 25seconds and is very fast on the computer as is OSX.
All of my attempts to boot up the laptop using clover (v3202) or the guides failed to get it to the installer. The guides actually work very well on the desktop but the laptop refused to cooperate. So, I decided to install to my SSD. Attached is the working install to a USB port, and, voila, the damn thing worked! Then, I cloned the SSD to the laptop HDD and its still working fine!! Very unorthodox but it works for now.
So, to be clear, booting is only via Clover USB (see attached files for the ones that work). I don't have DSDT inserted. For some reason, two days ago on MacAisl, I could get to the RehabMan repos. Then, a day ago, it stopped accessing the repos, and I couldn't get it to retrieve the repos so did not patch the DSDT. However, I have attached the raw files dumped via Ubuntu here. Also, to be honest, I don't know how to patch the DSDT....I would appreciate some help here from you guys, especially with the DSDT, SSDT's and patches.
So, this it what works on this laptop: webcam, keyboard, video (though at the moment its flickering but at max resolution for this screen), Bluetooth, USB, and, obviously, Ethernet works as I type this on the computer and can post... so the minimum kexts on the Clover folder are working fine. The mouse and track pad work, but are laggy and not as smooth....I can use two finger multi-touch, but three fingers give an error (just makes a beeping error sounds) and nothing happens, and graphics acceleration works (itunes is working ok).
So, what I'm after is help with the DSDT and SSDT so I can load them up and get a better experience especially for USB and also a bit of help on stopping the screen flickering issue.
FYI. The BIOS on this thing is extremely limited. Selections now are BOOTMODE=UEFI, SECUREBOOT=DISABLED. There are no other options available to select that would make a difference here.
Once i have it booting OK with a DSDT and SSDT and its kinda stable, I will post a comprehensive all in one guide. At the moment can only boot from Clover USB, multibeast or CLOVER installed on the HDD dont seem to be able to get it to boot for now....
