Creating the installation USB
Followed the guide to make an bootable USB stick with clover
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-support/167901-how-create-os-x-el-capitan-public-beta-installation-usb-using-clover.html
Then adjusted some things on the USB:
Selected in clover : OsxAptioFix2DRV-64 and partitionDxe-64
Deleted all the kext folders in the /efi/clover/kexts folder and only left the other folder standing there,
Pasted FakeSMC NullCPUPowerManangement and the intele1000 kext into the folder.
Used the original clover config that came out of the box.
The installation part:
Didn't have to use any boot flags just did the normal installation process , the other thing El Capitan does is an initial 10-15 minutes and then reboots so I thought it was installed already but couldn't find my SSD in the clover boot screen so booted up the installer again and it started the real installation part this time, waited that out and got booted up in 10 minutes.
Installed clover to EFI same drivers as last install and deleted the kext folders again and put the same kexts from the USB in that folder, i noticed that my audio didn't work so i got the old driver i always used (AppleHDA-898) out of the MultiBeast installer and installed that.
Rebooted and i have an fully functional OS X El Capitan hack now.
