Im new to clover, please don't kill me! Ive used chameleon and wanted a change.

Im not pleased with the system def clover gave me. I know its something to do with a plist like chameleon but for the life of me I just can't find it!

 

I thought it would have been the plist in the EFI/Clover/config.plist but I flicked through it and there is no mention at all of my system def.

Is it somewhere else?

 

Once I find it, is it just a matter of changing the values as I see fit in the text document and reboot?

Cheers.

Its 3770k on a UP5TH. 2x 780 Classies.

 

Ive tried editing it in Clover boot loader but every time I make a capital letter it replicates that letter some 20 times!

Ive used the boot loader program here.

Secondly, my system is working fine. It is Overlocked but it isn't being replicated in system profiler. Anyway to fix it?

Hello

 

Try make these steps:

 

Download Clover and install it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/
 if your mobo has uefi enabled in Bios, install Clover in UEFI mode, if not, install Clover in normal mode(don't check UEFI mode install in Clover)

After that use Hackintosh Vietnam to adjust everything: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296669-hackintosh-vietnam-ultimate-aio-tool-for-hackintosh/
* In the section CPU choose the CPU/Model of your computer (it will serve to create your SMBIOS within config.plist file)
* In SSDT section, select the Custom option, config.plist will be created on your desktop and you put that in EFI/Clove folder
* In Section Kext select AICPUPM patch (something like that lol) to correct AICPUPM and make OSX work well for you ...
* In section Grafik select an ideal option for your grafica intel ... up to you to configure and view the model description and screen resolution
* After selecting some important settings, but does not select anything useless or will mess up all your hard work
* If I am not mistaken in section Kext has the option to install FakeSMC, install this kext because it is very important for OSX and is the only kext really necessary.
* In Tools section select SSDT generate, to generate a SSDT in Extra folder in HDD, get this SSDT from Extra folder and put in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched folder, after that delete Extra folder in HDD

 

Make them please :)

the SMBIOS is inside the config.plist file at least for me!! But I do use the Clover configurator to modify it.

[...]	
<key>SMBIOS</key>
	<dict>
		<key>BiosReleaseDate</key>
		<string>03/17/10</string>
		<key>BiosVendor</key>

It's true that Clover can also pick the information from a smbios.plist located in the same folder as the config and overrides its smbios data, but it must keep the same hierarchy used in the config (just the smbios section will do) so using the same file from Chameleon just won't do a thing. Besides many keys are named differently.

 

Actually I am new to Clover as well. I would like to know how I can use bootflags. I tried typing -v at the boot screen and did not see it.

Bootflags can be used permanently by adding them in the config.plist (Boot->Arguments), or if it's for a one time only, in Clover's GUI go to Options and you'll see the Arguments field. Also if you press spacebar over a selected partition you will see a menu with some common actions like verbose boot (-v), kext injection, ignore cache, etc.

you can also just drop the smbios.plist you used with chameleon into the same folder Clovers config.plist is located. Clover will detect it and if used override whats inside the config.plist's smbios section.

 

I have some issues after installing yosemite - can I just copy the config.plist and smbios.plist from Mavericks onto yosemite. I read somewhere on this forum that it could work?

 

Maybe I'm clutching at straws  :)

make sure to add your kexts in a folder named 10.10 in the clover/kexts folder i do not think the installer makes one yet for you. you can also just copy your 10.9 folder and rename it to 10.10 if you have issues with kexts then you might have to replace some.
