Hi all!
After a lot of time spent on this machine and on this forum, I have my perfect working MBP 11,1 (Asus F550l)
Specs:
CPU: i7-4510U
Graphics: HD-4400; Nvidia gt820m (disabled)
Ram: 8gb (upgraded)
WiFi-BT: BCM94360 (replaced)
Bootloader: OpenCore
macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (tested Big Sur on another drive and works as well as Cata)
I had a lot of issues with EDID because I broke the original screen and I had to change it, but the new display was really bugged in MacOS: the first boot after verbose mode was just a total black screen and I was in a panic but after some researches and tweaking on EDID I finally have a perfect display.
The other big problem was Power Management after patching the DSDT for battery: the laptop didn't shut down properly, also restarts were a problem and obviously sleep didn't work properly. Thanks to RehabMan's Laptop patches PM and Sleep works perfectly now!
Also audio required few DSDT patches to work perfectly with AppleALC (also with HDMI Audio), the only little problem is that the internal mic is a little low but I don't care so much about that.
Keyboard and Trackpads works flawlessly, specially trackpad. With Elan VoodooPS2Controller the trackpad is literally like on a real Mac, I personally tested it.
WiFi and BT worked after replacing the original card with a BCM94360, no tweaks needed it just worked oob. AirDrop and handoff's worked also oob.
Never had problems with iMessages FaceTime ecc..
I even have boot chime working.
This laptop with windows was really crappy but with MacOS it has a new life, I use it as main machine when I travel (I have a Desktop Hackintosh at home) and can handle Logic and FCPX really well even if is more than 6 years old.
I really hope that Hackitoshes will last even with Apple Silicon Machines... It's really funny and really useful!
If you want my EFI folder or ask me something write here
