Osx86 RetailDisk KitGen v1.1

30 July 2012 - 12:57 PM

It's a simple app that creates for the user a PC bootable OS X Image. It's probably been done before but since i made it for the users in the L502x thread i figured i could just as well release it to the whole public.

What it does step by step:

Prompts the user to select a retail image and a place to save the new one. Then starts copying the packages into the proper locations and even downloads and installs FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, ApplePS2Controller/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and Enoch bootloader. (yep, another lazy-o app)

All that's left for the user to do is restore it to a thumb drive/sd-card/partition or burn it on a Dual Layer DVD (the created image is around 5gb)

If someone knows how to remove the unnecessary packages without breaking the OSInstall please PM so i can update the script. A single layer DVD size image is better than a dual one.

It's compatible with any unmodified OS X Retail Image as long as there's a BaseSystem.dmg inside the InstallESD.dmg.
The kexts and boot loader are downloaded from my server into /tmp folder then deleted when it's done using them.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve, please don't hesitate to share them.

When in doubt, check for yourself the zip that gets downloaded: resourcesgen.zip

Oh i forgot: It's using the ASObjC Runner for the "progress" bar. So all credits go to http://www.macosxaut...pps/runner.html for it!

[Updated] Aergia v1.1 - A menu bar utility!

23 July 2012 - 04:51 PM

Hi there, i'd like to introduce you to Aergia

Quote

Aergia (Ἀεργία, "Inactivity") is a goddess in Greek mythology , a personification of sloth and laziness .

Aergia is a menubar app i've made because i got tired of joggling with 3 ore more apps to do my daily osx86 routine. It's intended to be a easy one-click-away type of tool, for the lazy. Hence the fitting name.

On to the features:

The restart button: uses a script that bypasses normal restart routine, it's for the systems that for some reason can't restart normally. It was made for my laptop when it had this bug so results will vary, the restart may not be instant and can actually take a few minutes or not happen at all.

The sleep and shutdown are just there to complement the restart one.

Toggle Turbo States: This is a useful feature for laptop users when they go mobile and want more battery life. Currently it works only on Chameleon by altering the DropSSDT=Yes/No field. Based on the assumptions it actually affects your system.

Toggle File Visibility: Just your average show/hide hidden files function.

Rebuild Kext Caches: In hindsight, i should have named it rebuild kext caches, because thats what it does. Oh well, maybe in the next update Rebuilds the system kextcache file.

Kext installer: It's a basic kext installer, you can choose if you want to install it in the current partition or another. It launches a finder window, so if you have finder in the background so will this window be. Next version will fix this.

The round blue info button provides some info about the features, and the "x" closes, not hides, the utility.
