gumpheartjenny Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey Everyone, So after reading countless forums and posts...I finally have a pretty stable build on my computer with only a few things to complain about that I would love help with. First I want to tell you how I built mine and then see if anyone can help me troubleshoot. Here is my process. 1. I downloaded myhack from the myhack website Myhack. 2. I followed his instructions Here 3. after I finished that I downloaded VoodooHDA and installed that 4. Then I went into the extensions and deleted AppleHPET.kext (that made osx read all my usb ports as 2.0. and made is shut down properly) 5. and voila! I now have a Hackbook...but I still have some minor issues that I would love help with Here are the issues; 1. Audio sometimes is a little crackly 2. Can't see battery Life (tried voodoo battery) 3. Sometimes when Mac boots it does the grey swipe down over the apple that asks me to restart the computer 4. I can't update! Sends the computer into Kernal Panic 5. Starcraft II Does not recognize it as 10.6 so it does not let me install If you have any questions let me know...and please help me fix these problems Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpheartjenny Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Also the mouse is not multi-touch, and the computer cannot sleep all of these things feel minor to me, but I would love to have them fixed If anyone can give me instructions on how to fix them that would be great!!!

MrUncle Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi there, I don't have any advice on your issues ( ) but I do have some questions about your hardware. I have the asus g73jh and was wondering how similar the hardware is. I realize I could probably search online for your specs but I was also wondering how the build went as far as getting your network, video, and sound drivers in order. I currently have two hackintosh projects in the works the asus g73jh and the eee pc 1015pn both relatively new computers, so I am trying to get all the preliminary research pointers I can while I wait on my install disk to arrive. Thanks in advance. Mr U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Mr U If it is part of the G series I think this build would probably work for you. The myhack isn't specifically designed for my laptop but It has ended up working better than any of the others. Audio seems to be great! Only audio that has some trouble are the apple default noises when you click on things, youtube sounds fine. Network worked on boot Audio I used Voodoo HDA install package with video watch the youtube video linked on my first post. If you work on this build and find any fixes to the problems I'm having please post them in this forum I would love to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, got my disk finally and I too noticed the update problems, so I tried installing them one at a time...turns out the AirPort Utility breaks the system and although I didn't get kernel panics I did get removed network and keyboard drivers. I imagine you could get the kexts and re install in safe mode, but for the purposes of experimentation I narrowed it down to that. I now have 10.6.6 (as of writing this post) with audio and LAN up and running...thanks for the youtube vid link...working on that one next! I know it aint much, but hope it helps...

Mr U Thanks Mr. U!, I'm a bit hesitant on that updating to 10.6...last time I did it as I stated computer had a that Kernal Panic and had to reformat! Another problem I'm having is that I don't think the video graphics are 100%. I think all the colors on my computer are not true and it has problems with images with a lot of information...I've heard about nvinject but I don't know how to install it and if it will actually help. Let me know if you discover how to fix this or anything else. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpheartjenny Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Updated to 10.6.5 and I'm now having some problems...itunes is slow...when I plug in the HDMI the whole computer freezes! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonscales Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was successful in making my Asus G72GX update all the way to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with everything working. I used the ModCD + Snow Leopard install to get this done. It was actually very painless once I discovered this way to do it. However, I am trying to update my G72GX to Lion. I've purchased it from the Mac Store and tried to do both xMove and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I come to the same problem, it will boot to Lion's installer welcome screen where it asks you to choose your language and I can't get past that. My trackpad works in that I can move the mouse but my left click, right click and tap to click functions don't work. Neither does the keyboard. I've tried plugging in USB keyboards and mice but they have the same effect. I can move the cursor with the mouse but click functions don't work. The USB keyboard doesn't respond either. Any suggestions? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
