How and where to install kexts:
[GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina
Installing 3rd Party Kexts in /Library/Extensions Note: This guide was originally written to support MacOS Mojave and older versions (< r5200) of the Clover boot-loader. The methods detailed here are now considered legacy methods and should only used with older versions of MacOS as detailed...www.tonymacx86.com
The most kexts i use like AppleaALC.kext, FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Intel-GbX.kext, IntelMausiEthernet.kext and XHCI-unsupported.kext are installed in /L(ibrary /E(xtensions) folder on my Macintosh HD. I´ve installed these kexts with KextBeast and renew the kernel cache.
Lilu.kext, WhateverGreen.kext, USBinjectAll.kext, LiluFriend.kext and the VirtualSMC.kext, SMCProcessor.kext and SMCSuperIO.kext installed to clover/kexts/other folder (i posted).
VirtualSMC.efi installed at drivers/uefi folder and i dropped out SMCHelper.efi.
But i think, it´s no matter, where the kexts are installed. Before i notice iStatMenus doesn´t show the CPU temperature or the fan speeds (only the temerature of my internal NVMe Samsung Evo 970), all my kexts are installed to clover/kexts/other. In my opinion it´s a matter of taste, where you install the third party kexts. In many discussion forums there are good reasons to install third party kexts to the /L /E folder. And there are also many reasons for clover/kexts/other folder like in your reply post.
I think in the future the VirtualSMC.kext support the missed functions (temperatures, fan speeds) for iStatMenus, as long as we have to wait.
thanks anyway!
