XiaoMi Notebook Air 13" FilesPack 2.1

That's what I just found out . Please write that on the front page.

 

Is there any other way to fix the cache issue? For me personally it's a non issue,  but it's not as straight forward anymore.

That's issue is present only after the installation, and that's the fix!

No more trouble!

Thanks

 

Where's Rehabman's Voodoops2 prefpane? Do I have to install it separately? If so, how?

I don't know if there is a prefpanel for voodoops2...

if you want to edit three fingers gesture go to preferences-keyboard-shortcuts

Just wanted to thank you again for all your help. Now I've got a working dual boot solution on one SSD It's great.

If only the intel wifi project hadn't died... :/

 

 

EDIT: Just found another issue The headphone jack emits terrible audio. It's echoing and sound like a cheap lowpass filter lol..

 

EDIT2: Regarding the lid sleep issue, have you taken a look at this? GitHub

you have to install all other files in the package as per instructions!

the kexts in the library extensions folder.

I was tired I suppose. I didn't check if the Kext tool had moved done its job right..

 

Could you please take a look at the lid issue? It should be quite easy to fix within the DSDT (by searching for LID or LID0). Could you also please upload the uncompiled DSDT with all applied patches (if possible, separately) ?

 

Also, your guide is missing this command:

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/hwpenabler

And brew can't be installed on Sierra with that command only. You've got to alter the permissions for /usr/bin first. (For the guide as well I mean)

That patch don't fixes our usb after lid sleep issue... it just disable wake when opening lid.

I followed the ReadMI to install hwpenabler without any issue at all.

New problem... Sleep Mode seemed to be working but after a few times it suddenly didn't want to wake up anymore. So I rebooted it - the thing is that it's always shutting down at boot now. It's also impossible to take a picture of the verbose because it goes to fast. I've tried to use clover's cancel hiberation and debug 100 for making the log stay, but since it isn't a panic it doesn't stay on.

Proper sleep is not an easy thing on sierra hackintosh, I don't know if this is your first hack, but some issues are normal!

I had problems of sleep getting the notebook stuck, but a reset always worked, don't know whats causing that instant reboot, sorry.

It could be the Nvidia gpu, boot with nvdisable.

Found the issue  

Sleep mode corrupted the macOS partition.. "Invalid record count. The volume could not be verified completely."

It worked for at least 20 tries, but the last time made it stay in an unresponsive state. And now it's toast. The windows partition and so on is unharmed though, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the NVMe hack.

That's surely caused by the nvme! Thats why I don't add support to it on the file pack!

Get a sata m2 drive and use the expansion slot.

Btw I'm uploading a new version.

EDiT: Maybe you're right (almost definitely so) but there aren't many people complaining with rehab man's new method of patching. Maybe I misread, but in theory you should get any corrupted drives if you use that patch since it uses a patched kext and not an injection (which could load badly and therefore screw the entire drive). I may be wrong though.

Before it died I also managed to get HDPI scaling for 125% res. It's easies on the eyes while traveling. If you'd like to include it in your filepack, all you gotta do is to a plist using this (link) awesome website and voila'

 

It works for notebooks too of course.

I always used 1280x720 using RDM

I always used 1280x720 using RDM

 

 

But it isn't highDPI right? It's a bit blurry I suppose, that's why making this plist in conjunction with RDM is amazing. So everything keeps being crisp and sharp  

Not blurry it is HiDPI but scaled!

Only real HiDPI for a 1080p panel is 960x540...

I'll take a look at your link btw!

The lid issue can't really be fixed then right? The problem is that, at least on my install, it's not ok to just press sleep and close it: that will make it unresponsive, you'd have to press sleep and wait like 40 seconds or more before it turns off the fans and the light starts blinking. It is just on my system like this or is it the intended behaviour?

It's a normal behave for the notebook to take 15 seconds to go to sleep.

I haven't found a fix for the lid sleep yet, or it would be posted.

The last config.plist of yours doesn't load the DSDT, is this deliberately done?

 

If it isn't defined in the loading order it will get ignored or am I wrong?

It was in the sorted order for mistake, sorted order cares only of the ssdts, dsdt loads.

I've done a reinstall now and tested the sleep mode extensively (more than 30 tries) 

It works 9/10 times if you keep the lid open until the light blinks (after like 30-50 seconds), but I've found that if you close the lid within that period, it will almost always either cause it to freeze, wake-up again (without USB as mentioned) or to reboot. Even when letting it go to sleep with the lid open, it can, although rarely, still cause it to reboot instantly :/

This is my first hackbook, I've two other hackintoshes though, and I've fortunately never had these issues before. I'm really grateful for your amazing work though! Thanks

I'm also quite certain that booting on the NVMe isn't a bad idea. I haven't got a corrupted drive since my re-installation; which doesn't mean that it's safe of course. I've bought another SSD now as well. But I'll keep it on this one for now to see if it works. It's not a big problem if it dies since I'm mainly using it for taking notes at university and coding (which get's instantly saved in the cloud).

Here's the plist I made to enable hdpi 1600x900 (720p is too big for my taste):

 

LINK

 

copy it in terminal with this command:

sudo cp [FILEPATH GOES HERE] /System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-4d10/DisplayProductID-1447

EDIT: New link with 1664x936 hdpi  (it's my ideal res and it's a true 16:9 res, unlike 1600x900)

Today, in the library, I discovered another problem

I can't use an external bluetooth dongle since the internal bluetooth is still active. Is there any way to trick the HCIcontroller to disable the internal bluetooth? 

 

Thanks again

Don't know, if you really want you could modify the xiaominjectXHC to disable bluetooth's USB.

Please use the thread linked on the main page don't post comments here, thanks.
