acer S3 391 6862, with i5-3317u and 4GB memory. I changed the old harddrive to an intel ssd, and I also changed some card inside in order to use a half mini pcie wifi card aw-ce123h(BCM94352HMB).
I upgraded from 10.9.5 with unibeast.
So far,
working: wifi, bt, qe/ci, alc269, sleep/wake, webcam, hdmi, mirror display, app store
not working: nvram, iMessage
problems:
1. alps touchpad cannot be identified in VoodooPS2Controller
2. when injecting a headphone, i have to sleep/wake up the laptop to make it work, and when ejecting it, I have to do the same job.
3. usb 3.0, i don’t think it enough stable, so i just disabled it.
1. I followed this guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/114040-guide-acer-s3-391-ivy-bridge.htmlhttp://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/114040-guide-acer-s3-391-ivy-bridge.html to install mavericks in my laptop.
2. after having installed yosemite with unibeast, i deleted the old trackpad driver ElanTouchPad otherwise there would be a kernel panic.
3. with nvram, Chimera( of all versions) complained “memory allocation error”, so I had to delete it.
4. before patching or installing any third-party drivers, "kext-dev-mode=1” must must must be added to kernel flags. I didn’t know it so that I had wasted much time.
5. for wifi, i used the dsdt method and patched the driver according to this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/page-4#entry2039281http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/page-4#entry2039281
6. for bt, i have done nothing because I installed BTFirmwareUploader in the past.
7. for hd4000 and alc269, i patched the 2 new original drivers according to the guide I mentioned. btw, there is no sound notification when turning up/down the volume.
8. patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement with AICPMPatch.
9. I tried the latest Elantouchpad, it worked but there were two problems:
(1) Fn button also functions for increasing the screen brightness, which is really annoying
(2) the trackpad didn’t work after waking up.
10. whenever wifi works weird, reboot to bios and restore to the default settings. When I tried to make the wifi work, everything seemed fine, except that its status was always off, and I couldn’t turn it on. finally when I tried to restore the default settings of bios, it worked……
Maybe i will try to find a solution for the trackpad or just wait for a new driver, at least i have a bt mouse. for now I am just going to enjoy the new system. Is there anyone else who also thinks the new flat UI is too ugly???
