Mainly because the developers of the crucial kexts that most of us use has moved on to OpenCore.

I am not in a hurry, and do not switch technologies just to switch; howwever my initial read right now is that OpenCore is gong to be the future Hackintosh booting. In my opinion it is something worth looking at in my spare time.

I agree. OpenCore team is not committing or even testing the new releases of these kexts and drivers with Clover. The Clover users are essentially left on their own, things might work or may stop working at some point. For example, AptioMemoryFix is no more being developed and the new stuff is OpenCore exclusively, though some kind souls have back ported it for Clover.

At some point, it would make sense to have the OpenCore option available if not completely switch sides. Clover is rock solid stable on my hack and everything works beautifully, but would be happy to explore OpenCore.

so what does this show:
ioreg -l |grep ApplePanel 
In case of custom AppleBacklight profile is necessary (e.g. via AppleBacklightInjector.kext) the following must be performed to accomplish WhateverGreen compatibility:

Create your injector with a correct profile

Disable WhateverGreen backlight patches via applbkl=0 boot argument

Specify injector IOProbeScore (in injector Info.plist) equal to 5500

Here's the output of your command:

> ioreg -l | grep ApplePanel
    | | |   "ApplePanelRawBrightness" = 766
    | |       "ApplePanel" = {"F16Txxxx"=<0011000000180027003a00520071009600c400fc0140019301f6026e02fe03aa0478056c>}

I'm not sure how I can create a custom AppleBacklight injector or profile

I think if eventual move to opencore need to happen, the first challenge we have to face is to convert all DSDT patches to SSDT hotpatch. because opencore treat all OS with same modification.

Hi

I have a T460s and I just installed Catalina following tluck guide the first post. Is there any reason why I cannot run (or doesn't do anything) .commands or bash commands, like dsdt command, es-mount, etc.?

nijhawank · January 25, 2020

I know its off-topic but I created something that might interest the people here. I created the thread here

Hello,

I recently installed High Sierra and Catalina in a T460s and with both OS I'm getting a slow boot because the 'spaceman_trim_free_blocks' task takes more than a minute to complete on every reboot. It looks like there are tons of blocks to trim (~53885255). This also happens with just turning on the computer and restarting. However, if I disable Trim in the clover config.plist, booting is fast.

I also noticed that erasing the disk or creating partitions with DiskUtil also takes several minutes when Trim is enabled, or just a couple of seconds if it's disabled.

The disk model is INTEL SSDSCKGF240A5L and BIOS N1CET78W (1.46). I'm also using the EFI folder from tluck's github.

Is anyone experiencing this issue?

Regards

Nobody else is experiencing this issue?

I'm not sure how I can create a custom AppleBacklight injector or profile

you just create one using my script? then install/copy the injector kext in the ESP.

and then add this boot arg in the config.plist applbkl=0

Update to 10.15.3 went fine

KaidenAlenko · January 30, 2020

Looking for some help creating a bootable USB clone using the latest config. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the main drive to the USB, then used Clover Configurator, Clover Cloner to Clone the main drive EFI partition onto the USB drive. As far as I can tell, everything is now the same between my main drive and the USB drive. However, when I try and boot through the USB, it makes it as far as the OS logo and then hangs. No progress bar nothing. When I tried to put it in verbose it never even showed me one line of text before hanging.

Unsure, if I'm missing a configuration step or something. To be clear, everything on the system works fine. I just wanted to make a bootable clone for backup and testing, but it doesn't seem to be working.

EDIT: I should add that I have tried this to an SSD in a USB caddy and a normal USB flash drive. Same results.

Try olarila builds. And then copy the Kexts, scripts and patches.

Hello Everyone,

I have made some progress on making some hotpatch SSDT of DSDT patch used on T460 tluck pack.

As OpenCore NDK fork is maturing enough to be a alternative to Clover with GUI boot picker. If anyone

interested to Experiment with OpenCore, I think this SSDT hotpatch approach will need to be perfected.

So far I have equivalant DSDT patch to SSDTs are (See attachment for dsl source file)

1_led_blink.txt ==> SSDT-PTWK.dsl
1_system_PNOT.txt ==> This patch suppresses PNOT, PPNT, PNTF method call, if found are commonly called from EC/AC adapter related code and often access identifiers that are present in SSDTs generally dropped (CPU SSDTs). I only found one PNTF call on the DSDT and because we don't have to drop any cpu related SSDT, I think we are good to go without it. If anyone have trouble without this patch, it would be great to try to make a hotpatch or binary patch if needed.
2_IGBE_PRW.txt ==> this is achived with config binary patch.
2_system_H8DR.txt ==> SSDT-H8DR.dsl, I have made two alternative verstion of SSDT for this patch, though I am not sure if any one of it work. And this patch might not be required at all because on DSDT I found this code on \_SB._INI method.
```
 If ((\_REV >= 0x02))
{
	\H8DR = 0x01
}
```
and DSDT disassambly Original Table Header:
* Signature "DSDT"
* Length 0x000127DF (75743)
* Revision 0x02 // This says revision is 0x02 so H8DR might automatically be One on newer bios version
2_system_nvst.txt ==> This patch is about enabling lid sleep but I didn't face any problem without it.
3_Fn_Keys.txt ==> SSDT-KBD.dsl
4_battery_fan.txt ==> SSDT-BATT.dsl
5_syscl_PPMCnPMCR.txt ==> This also can be achived with SSDT.

As of now for two days I am running my system with these SSDTs and with native unmodified DSDT without any recognizable functional and performace difference, but the acpi log shows tons of errors with these SSDTs. It would be great help if you guys could give a hand to track down these errors and solving them.

This work is done by taking as a base and modifying jsassu20's T450s repo. Because these two machines are similar they share lots of things in common and jsassu20 did a fine job making T450 fully hotpatch base. Anyone want to experiment look at his repos for direction.

Regards,

Junaed

i originally had a touch screen. WEG and the backlight injector may be in conflict. what seemed to work (based on a long memory) was to make sure the min/max values was ranged 0 to 1000.

look at
ioreg -l |grep ApplePanel 
the values are in hex

for example:

0011 0000 001C 002C 003F 0051 0068 008A 00AB 00CC 00FA 0135 0181 01DD 0244 02C9 0359 03E8

0011 = 17

so 17 values from

0000

to

03E8 = 1000

So here is what my output is

| | | "ApplePanelRawBrightness" = 1388

| | "ApplePanel" = {"F16Txxxx"=<0011000000180027003a00520071009600c400fc0140019301f6026e02fe03aa0478056c>}

Based on what you were saying where would I edit that

I already explained. you should use the applebacklight injector (kext) in the zip or create one using my script.

then install/copy the injector kext into the ESP.

and then add this boot arg in the config.plist applbkl=0

which means that WEG will not create the property -

bruno3691 · February 18, 2020

Someone have Catalina working fine?

Would you like share a zip with all kext? Or all mods.

let me know if you need anything else.

I think 2.0.3 is the best version at this time because 2.1.1 still have a bug with touchpad, sometimes it doesn't move

sorry - cant test this but ... I added VoodooInput.kext 1.0.3 and bumped VoodooPS2 to latest in github

duythanh91 · February 27, 2020

Sorry if I ask stupid. But can you support Thinkpad X280? I used your script on X260 (with version of T460). And everything is great. I just switched to x280 yesterday and the first thing I did was hackintosh. But unfortunately, I'm a noob, so I don't know how to make everything perfect without your script. I'm willing to donate you to be motivated to help. Thank you
