@vit9696 Can VirtualSMC support ALS sensor in the future?

They've just release Version 1.0.0 -> https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/releases

Just wondering, if I am not using iStats or HWmonitor should I need to add these kexts and .dylib tool?

 

SMCBatteryManager.kext

SMCLightSensor.kext

SMCProcessor.kext

libaistat.dylib

I can't boot latest mojave with the latest drivers from acidanthera. boot progress go slowly at about 80-90% and then stuck in a black screen but backlight on.

an official acidanthera repo build script would probably fix most of the incompatability issues. where it would build there projects in the correct sequence. i know there are a couple of unofficial ones out there but not the same as the original devs making one as they know there changes and the correct sequence which might change as there projects grow but they would know that. not the same as a third party trying to figure out and track whats going on. especially since the projects are symbiotic. they depend on each other. one bad lilu build will make the rest also no good.

This is your magic formula:

1. Always stay with the latest binary releases of all kexts

2. Do not download or upload binary releases yourself

3. Let the official binary releases stay for a day or two before updating all kexts

If you are building from master, well, you are supposed to know a word or two how macOS kernel drivers work, how to read logs, how to troubleshoot your system. The reason for this should be troubleshooting some bug or implementing a new feature.

 

The latter ie expected from any person making oneself a hackintosh, in case you are unqualified and are not interested in educating, http://store.apple.com is your friend. Or at least do not whine about things .

Thanks @vit9696, VirtualSMC v1.0.0 + PlugIns (seem) loaded & working fine on my mach: 10.11.6, 10.13.x, 10.14 Beta 10 (Legacy and or UEFI). I see no diff. between github release version and my prebuilt (except diff. Xcode used, I think). I don't use any FV related *.efi drivers, neither VirtualSMC.efi or SMCHelper.efi.

 

But, just a little (not a mandatory) issue is; my Battery device not detected on Mojave (using MBP10,1 SMBios), so it recognized as Desktop then get no TrackPad pref for sure. Not a problem since my TP features work properly, or I'm still able to use USB Mouse as usual.

With the latest release my rig cannot boot. Stuck at appleacpicpu. Need to back to Fakesmc. I tried to replace the old kexts using Ubuntu, rebuild caches, clear nvram, rollback config.plist... etc. but nothing works. What happens? Someone can tell me?

if you build it, use the same lilu version when you build it.

if you use lilu 1.2.7 in your kext folder, use it for build virtualsmc as well.

at least, thats what happenned, for me.

I tried the official release shared some posts ago. For the first time I did not build kext alone. I think that's not the right answer. We are testing your kext as a good new part for our hackintosh universe. I was very scared, because I use MacOS for work, but thank God everything went well with FakeSMC again. I found your kext very good, bring the hackintosh even closer to the original Apple, but I do not think that a response like that would be satisfactory for someone who is relying on your work.
