So, I'm currently on Yosemite, but started hackintoshing on Mavericks, and I have to admit I've not been very good at keeping Clover, drivers etc. up-to-date (if it works I just leave it alone, usually a sound policy). I installed most of this manually as UniBeast didn't support Clover at the time, but I loosely based the process on the Clover guide that was available here at the time.
Anyway, I'm thinking I should probably strip back my Clover installation and try to reapply it all "fresh", and I'm just curious what the steps might be for this. I've never used UniBeast and MultiBeast before, so how do these cope with existing Clover installs?
I assume for the El Capitan installation I need to boot from a UniBeast created USB since my current Clover probably won't do, but what steps should I take to get Clover refreshed? What should I do with my current SMBIOS settings? I eventually managed to get iMessages working, so I'd like to keep the current settings.
Also, does MultiBeast cover applying of patches for power support? My motherboard is an Asus Q87T which mostly supports OS X out of the box (it actually goes to sleep without crashing, unlike a Gigabyte motherboard I had to replace) but it doesn't seem to support all temperature sensors properly (I can get CPU temp and fan speeds but nothing else) so I assume I should have patched the DSDT or SSDT or done something involving some other acronym I don't know anything about
I think the only other thing I needed before was a tweak to make sure my WiFi card (Broadcom BCM94352) is recognised as an Airport/AirDrop device, and I have a Bluetooth Firmware uploader to enable Bluetooth support. Will MultiBeast cover these? Also I enabled TRIM support for my SSD as a Clover patch, is this still the preferred method for enabling TRIM?
