I know, I know, before someone asks, yes, I know OpenCore exists, but because I've been using Clover all this time, I decided to give it a chance.


After two attempts, I managed to boot into Big Sur. First attempt was KP during installation, so I couldn't move anywhere. I couldn't even boot into Catalina after this. Turns out, problem was Clover 5126. After enabling OcQuirks, such as RebuildAppleMemoryApps and ProtectMemory regions, I was finally able to move somewhere. I removed AptioMemoryFix before doing this.


Installation went smoothly and after about 20 minutes, I was greeted by login screen. Once I logged in, I had some problems. Many of the apps didn't work. Discord, Brave, even Safari. They would just freeze. I started to fear these apps haven't been updated for Big Sur yet, but nah, thought that must be unlikely, they had months to do that.


So, I decided to restart. After logging in again, it asked me to approve some Intel extension (forgot exact name of it). After I did, everything worked.


Except App Store. It just refuses to install or update anything from there. But since I mostly get my apps from outside of it, I don't mind too much. But some of you might, so, I felt like it was necessary to mention that.


So, in short what works: everything I need. Seriously, sleep, messages, Internet, every piece of software. Everything. I don't use AirDrop, so didn't test that, because I use Ethernet only.

What doesn't work: App Store. At least for now.


I will include OC Quirks that I am using. With this, I use following kexts: AppleALC, WG, Lilu, VirtualSMC, RTL8111, USBInjectAll.
I will post my EFI folder, too.

I wrote a post where I shared my folder and it looks like it was disapproved. I don’t know why
 
Oh...sorry. Didn't know I could post the entire folder. Here it is.


Once again, I apologize.
