2- Now Install Chameleon_2.1svn_r1820_10.8_Peregrine_NB_780.pkg

3- Reboot with GraphicsEnabler=No

4- Install the 10.8.2 update from the AppStore and Reboot

5- Install kexts in the folders ALC888,4570m,Ethernet,Battery,Sleep Enabler

6- Copy DSDT.aml in /Extra folder

7- In Kext Wizard Repair Permissions and Restore Cache

Tips: Set you SMBios.plist to a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro to avoid the graphic update that ruins the 4570m injection

All kexts except VGA kexts (modified by me) are taken from osx86.net
