My apologies, I should have read more carefully.

I fixed the "tap to click, tap and a half to drag" with these commands.
Unluckily I'm still unable to access the trackpad pref pane to change sensitivity ecc., and I'd rather not to use elcapitan's one.
Files attached.

PS:

Done!
FakeSMC.kext and RealtekRTL8111.kext didn't worked in L/E though, I had to leave them in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.

Your kextcache output proves that kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

I read post#2 Installing Kexts. I used "Kext Wizard" to install my kexts in S/L/E and rebuild cache. I use System Parameters/Inject Kexts/detect as well but I feel I'm getting the same terminal output.

Now your kextcache output looks ok (FakeSMC.kext, VoodooPS2Controller.kext, etc are listed).
MacBookPro13,3 is a poor choice. Use MacBookPro13,1 or MacBookPro11,1.
Battery status is not implemented (often needed for SysPrefs->Trackpad).

I still lack the required skills for that guide. I'll try some of those HP patches in your repo, maybe one of those fits my laptop (is it likely to happen?).
Many thanks for the assistance.

Most likely there is an existing patch that matches.
It is mentioned in the guide.

The touchpad works on a USB HID device, not a PS / 2 device.How can I do for it?Thank YOU!

You would need to create a custom driver (kext) for it.

All properties are listed in the source code in ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad::setParamPropertiesGated...

I used to have the tracking speed set at max. Does anyone know which property/ies I should change to accomplish the same result in High Sierra? Thanks :)
PS: my prefPane from El Capitan (which weights more than 200MB... whereas High Sierra's trackpad prefPane weights only 13MB) doesn't load in High Sierra, even after fixing permissions.

edit: another thing that I'd like to get back is the ability to show all windows of an app, when the pointer is on its icon on the Dock and I scroll upwards... I hope this description was clear enough
