I also have a corsair k68 rgb keyboard, and I can change the lighting colors through corsair software via virtual machine with windows. Then just try and report us back! Hahaha I thought it wasn't possible but maybe you can. I don't really use virtual machines so...You're the best test subjet here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panosru Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @eSaF ah indeed, you are correct on that! I now noticed it! @glasgood So what I did is to put the usb dongle on my USB 3 hub, and it wasn't working, the system ditected the usb dongle but I could not connect to any of my devices, I took another usb 3 cable I had (about 1 meter) and (male - female) and I connected the usb dongle there, it works fine! Now my WiFi card isn't working, it used to work fine before, maybe I have to add a kext for it to work? The card is a TP-Link Archer T6E Thanks!

soniferous_fox Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 2 hours ago, glasgood said: Ah, you have a problem! looks like you wont be able to replace the wifi card on Aorus Pro Z390 I WiFi. From what i now know, only cNVI cards are supported so your only other option would be using USB Wifi dongle and you won't get things like Handoff, iMessages working. Possibly may want to consider an alternative board. That was close, so glad I asked that question! I had read of someone replacing with a Broadcom on a similar Asus board, but hadn't realised the cNVI bit was relevant, but having just read, it isn't compatible with Broadcom! Guess I will have to look at the Asus instead. Although it does have a 2nd M.2 slot on the back which I won't be using, so I have read ab out the possibility of using the Airport card with an adaptor to fit the M.2 slot, so may look at that as well.

So maybe you can connect M.2 NVMe SSD at back of board and use other M.2 adapter with airport card, something I have never attempted / tested out, another thing for you to research before deciding . Looks very promising Edited May 31, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @glasgood I really thank you for taking the time to support the users of that forum, including me! I got my bluetooth working now without lags! I put the bluetooth dongle in a usb (male - female) cable, about 1meter and now that it is closer to my workspace, I have all my devices connecting automatically and without any lag! My only remaining issue now is that facetime is not accepting my credentials when I try to login. I think that I have to use EMUVariableUefi-64.efi and update my CLOVERX64.efi to version 4937 and facetime should work fine. I haven't done an update to clover never, so in order to not do any mistakes, could you please confirm if I have selected the proper options? (I followed this guide) Edited May 31, 2019 by panosru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, use EMUVariableUefi-64.efi no need to delete it. Follow my video guide for updating. Make a backup of your EFI before proceeding.

panosru Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @glasgood i took a backup of my EFI before the upgrade, I haven't rebooted yet because I'm not sure if I did it correctly. In my case, on the action column I had "Install" not "Upgrade" as you had in the video, so I chose what I had in my driver64UEFI folder. After the upgrade I have this: Which I think is not right. The *-64.efi files are the ones that left from previous EFI, should I delete the old efi files and leave the new ones? Is it normal that the new ones did not override the previous and they also do not have the -64.efi suffix? This is my previous EFI from my backup: Thanks!

Just delete the files that you did not have before upgrade. So compare upgraded EFI with old EFI and delete files that you originally did not have.

larabee Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 @glasgood Yesterday I have a mini heart attack when all of my bootloaders (including the ones I used to boot the installer) refused to boot and spit out the error: Freeing low memory (up to 0x2000000) results = 0. Reflashing the BIOS fixed the issued. I shared my experience here just in case anyone has similar problem. and I saw someone asked about changing the LED lights colors, just boot to windows then change it. It will save the settings and maintain the same color on Mac OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniferous_fox Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have decided to go larger and opt for the Gigabyte Z390M Micro ATX card so I can definitely get the wifi/bluetooth working, plus RAM will be expandable in the future. Can I just double-check that this card is suitable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-PCI-Express-BCM943602CS-Hackintosh-Computers/dp/B00MBP25UK - if so, does the USB lead need plugin in for it to work?

So you can easily follow this guide and just use MaLd0n's Clover EFI folder. Edited May 31, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniferous_fox Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Sorry, one more question. What is the difference between your pre and post EFI folders - is it just the Fake SMC kext's? If so, you can just delete those? Or is there something else need in the pro not in post? Just trying to marry up with MaLdOn's folder. Thanks.

Just trying to marry up with MaLdOn's folder. Thanks. I mainly test macOS installation using Pre-Install EFI folder, so I know it is good for Installing macOS Mojave. With Post-Install EFI folder I can easily make changes & update's, as it is used post install I know those changes will work. As any changes are separate from Pre-Install EFI folder, then any changes will not hinder or effect macOS installation. Post-Install has: EmuVariableUefi-64.efi ( Emulates NVRAM with RC scripts, needed for working iMessages, Facetime ) FakeSMC.kext (for use with HWMonitor ) Patch (GPRW to XPRW change Method(GPRW,2,N) to XPRW, pair with SSDT-GPRW.aml) to fix automatic wake from sleep Ports limit patch is disabled.

digital_is_now Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Hey Glassgood, Apologies if this was mentioned already but I couldn't seem to find anyone with a similar issue: Followed your guide and used both pre and post EFI zips. I have a couple of issues I was hoping you could point me in the right direction? 1) Machine goes to sleep after a while (Computer sleep set to 'never' in Energy Saver prefs). I even have the app 'caffeine' to stop it from sleeping. Pressing power button or hitting keyboard does nothing to wake from sleep and i'm forced to reboot to get back into MacOS. Manually setting sleep seems to work intermittently. 2) RX580 Sound ( via DP Cable) works well through my monitor, but anything plugged into my headphone/audio out ports have this weird issue where the volume jumps up and down randomly! Random note: Did you know there is difference in quality in HDMI vs DP cable? I had HDMI 4K @ 60 hz and just thought everything looked a bit weird. Found a post about this topic and tried a DP cable (good quality one that explicitly states 21Gbps. Thank you again for your amazing guide. I've just added an OOB BT dongle the my rig and I am happily using Imsg, Facetime and Airdrop! Cheers!
