Lach_B Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) The HP Pavilion DV6, A suitable Macbook Pro? This was a demonstration of <edit>10.8! Mountain Lion DP3/GM i don't know which</edit> working on an HP Pavilion DV6-3132TX. This is meant as an example of what can be achieved with Hackboot and a retail copy of Lion + the Mountian Lion DP3 app. If anyone else is interested in attempting to replicate this, send me a message and i will give you as much help as I can. I use this as the main OS on the machine, It runs stable and quiet and, In my opinion, better than windows. I also think that the style of the laptop rather compliments the OS, they match, and I think that this laptop makes an ideal alternative to the Macbook Pro. How I did it: I installed iAtkos L2 downloaded the developer preview from apple using my developer account installed it downloaded and installed Chameleon 2.1RC SVN and installed that too; used a post install tool that shal not be named to install userDSDT and NullCPUPowerManagement, rolled back the AppleHDA kext used a driver from google for resolution using the screen ID What Works: Display Resolution (QE/CI is coming soon) Sound (Intel HDA) Wi-Fi A/B/G/N Bluetooth Ethernet all USB ports all 4 cores, no hyper threading Webcam (Using manycam) What doesn't work: Fingerprint Scanner HP Mediasmart Buttons (Not a real issue, you just can’t open the non-existent software with the buttons) 3+ finger multitouch (2 finger scrolling works fine) Edited May 27, 2023 by LachlanDMcCahon Removed dead links and marked as deprecated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dllop8 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I Have a HP Pavilion DV6 1340ss and I can't install iAtkos L1 =( When i put the DVD and the computers starts to read it, a message appears on my screen requesting to shutdown. With another and old DVDs (1 year ago) I was able to install it but not to enter the system. May you help me please? I see that you did it on your laptop. I could install the same DVD on another two PC in my house. PS: Sorry for my very bad english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatcake Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm definitely interested in this, as i have the presumably similar HP DV6-3032TX with Core i7-720QM. Could you please supply some helpful links on how to do the install ? I have the lion application ("Install Mac OS X Lion") as downloaded from the app store, is this the same as 'a retail copy of lion' ? (or can it be converted into one?) thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRacerMaster Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Try with the Chimera bootloader for QE/CI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lach_B Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Tried it, didnt work. So far the best method with the HD5650 on ML is framebuffer. Chimera allowed injection and QE/CI only in 32-bit mode under Lion, seeing as ML does not support 32-bit mode, its useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
