- if you want to do Customisations below do them on CustomPeripheral.kext that on PostInstall Folder before next step .

- now open Terminal and type this command .

cd ~/Desktop/PostInstall 

then 

sudo ./PostInstall.sh 

- then copy all kexts on postinstall folder to /system/Library/Extensions and .... layout12 & platforms files to AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources

- from it add clover as boot option

- Now shutdown your notebook remove flash memory and power on , you will see clover and Enjoy .

 

N.B.

- about OS X upcoming updates just update nothing needed after you update all will work don't worry  about that !.

- about reinstalling on future you just need to restore app to flash memory only as on vedio no need to do refi folder again 

   and after setup just install kext to system/library/extensions and .zlib files to resources folder of applehda.kext then rebuild caches only !.

Customisations


if you like to make your notebook accessories act like on real MacBook Pro

you can follow this part :)

  • card reader ---> use CustomPeripheral kext and edit info.plist with your card pro id and ven id
    edit idproduct &idvender under Any_Internal_SD_Card_Reader_1_00 Fake Apple Card Reader SBC Inject Fake Apple Card Reader UMC Inject Fake Apple Card Reader Interface Fake Apple Card Reader Device

  • DVD Drive to act like apple shipping drive
    use CustomPeripheral kext and edit the
    Product Identification & Vendor Identification with your DVD Drive info .
    14979488675_215d71ca29_o.jpg

how to get your your device idproduct & idvender ?

first go to system profiler --> USB --> go to usb device that you want to customize it --> you will find vender id and product id -- > take them one by one to caclculator --> on calculator use programmer mode --> then paste numder of id on (16) mode then convert it to (10) mode you will get new number that we need on kexts and do other ids like this .

2-you will repartition  your HDD  to GPT 

3-addiatinal USB memory

* during setup *

repartition HDD  use GPT  

if you wants windows and os x on same HDD

make first partition as FAT32 this for windows

second one for os x 

Third  for your data

 

then you can shut down and start setuping windows on first partition

and then after finishing windows install  OS X  on second partition

 

-------

 

if your HDD  was partition with GPT from first you can start from here

after finish setup os x

now you will see efi paratition  on finder open it 

 

-----

now we will prepare your efi folder to put it  on it 

 

download this EFI Folder 

 

and as on main guide we will do some changes according to your hardware

if you have nvidia card don't change dsdt or config.plist

if you have AMD card use this dsdt and config Have AMD.zip

if you have only intel gfx card use this dsdt and config Have No nVidia.zip

 

config.plist will be replaced on EFI/CLOVER

DSDT.aml will be replaced on EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched

 

and add your serial generated by chameleon wizard to config.plist under SMBIOS > SerialNumber

 

also replace ssdt-4 of your CPU on EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched

 

after finishing edit to efi folder

copy it to EFI partitation

 

and follow this steps as on main guide

 

  • Go to System/Library/Extensions and delete AppleHDA.kext , AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext .
  • Copy all kexts on Extensions folder on Post Install folder to System/Library/Extensions .
  • If you will do customisations below do it before copying kexts to System/Library/Extensions .
  • Now run Kext Utility .
  • Setup HWSensors .

 

-----

now we need new flash memory format it to fat32

and put on it this efi folder

 

now restart with the new flash memory connected to notebook and press f12

and choose UEFI from usb device 

 

you will get screen like this

post-378955-0-70260100-1393019870_thumb.png

i did as you said , and the sound worked , as for the webcam , it works in windows , in mac , it can't be detected either by FaceTime , photo booth or an online webcam capture website

 

as for disabling the nvidia card , i can't this device called GFX0 or DGPU , so what i can do ?

 

 

Thanks Mohamed for this topic.

 

I've just found a program to disable/enable either one or both cards: http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus

 

It helps but it doesn't solve the problem I have with my connectors (kernel log attached). I already tried to edit them on my part and I have also used Mohamed's modified kext but no luck. With this program instead of hanging every 5 secs, it hangs every 11 mins . Better than nothing. :P

 

 

Edit: Finally it also hangs but in another way everytime I load something (finder, safari, ...). When it freezes I can't do anything but reboot. :-( I have to downgrade to 10.7.1 as the new kexts related to hd 3000 make my hackintosh unusable. I hope someone will find a solution.

Do you mean this patch from Inspiron 15R N5110.txt patch ?(I have all this patches in my dsdt)

Device (PNLF)
	{
		Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))
		Name (_CID, "backlight")
		Name (_UID, 0x0A)
		Name (_STA, 0x0B)
	}
}

 

It already present in my dsdt and I can change brightness from system preferences

But after sleep screen is more bright than after boot,maybe it's only in my case(N5110Hi2310X3C500BSCDSblack)

this program nearly useless as it depend on prsence of mixer switch

 

for you did you use smbios macbookpro 8.1

 

also try new fresh install and use kexts i linked :)

 

 

something new i found it about optimus

 

intel hd graphics is connected only to internal laptop screen lvds and vga connector

and nvidia card do processing only for this connectors and intel card do rendering this when use nvidia optimums

so under mac osx driver we only can use intel for this two connectors

 

but HDMI has nearly only connection from nvidia card need conformation thanks for hisho for helping me as he has hdmi display

 

if we conformed that hdmi rendering is by nvidia i think we have hope to make nvidia card work when using hdmi so the two cards will work at the same time

you are right screen is brighter after sleep more than after boot

 

 

may be the driver problem
