janek202 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 - when installing a kext to E/E, permissions are set for the Extra folder and not only to E/E; you should change that. Ok, I will change that. - on the same matter, why doesn't the above option create E/E.mkext? Mkext is created only when "rebuild mkext" option is selected. But if it exists it will be updated after any kext change etc. Also, can you explain the logic and mechanics behind the "Extensions.mkext on desktop" option?.. i'm afraid to use it we need to specify a kext for installation to make it work, but were is the kext installed to? The mkext, is it created from E/E or S/L/E? No, it simply creates mkext from selected kexts and saves it on desktop. All selected kexts are copied into hidded folder on desktop, then mkext is created and folder is removed. No changes in /S/L/E or /E are performed. It can be useful to build bootcd etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253395-kext-wizard-easy-to-use-kext-installer-and-more/page/5/#findComment-1689792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackintosh2000 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I thought every piece of hardware had a unique identifier. Someone needs to setup a kext archive site that your program can just compare to the local computer and get whatever is needed (like Microsoft Update I guess is what I am used to) OK, so where do I get kexts? The only thing that doesn't work on my laptop right now is the webcam. Everything else is fine. Edit: Found somethin called CamTwist for my webcam, gonna try it out. Still would like to know where the centralized library of kexts are. Never heard of a centralized library of kexts. Have you tried the nawcom ModCD or nawcom ModUSB? It got me up and running on my first attempt. I believe it figures out what kexts it thinks you need and installs them. After you get your hackintosh up and running check out MalLdon's DSDT patching thread. Or check out kexts.com's patched DSDT repository for a patched DSDT for your system. A patched DSDT added features and stability to my system. Restart and Sleep now work reliably. I was also able to ditch the nullcpumanagement kext. Another thing you have to realize is that unlike Windows 7 ALOT of hardware simply is not supported in any way in the Mac/Hackintosh universe. One thing that chaps my hide is the fact that internal PCI/PCIe cards are poorly supported. I went on a rant about TV tuner cards in another thread. I am glad I tried out a hackintosh before buying a mac. I would still buy a mac laptop for its durability but a mac desktop is out of the question for most of my computing needs. There aren't as many programs for the mac either. Codecs are a pain in the rear. In Windows 7 I can download the Divx codec pack and the AC3Filter for free and watch 99% of the video that comes my way including .mkv right in Windows Media player.

Azimutz Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ok, I will change that. Nice... Mkext is created only when "rebuild mkext" option is selected. But if it exists it will be updated after any kext change etc. I knew i was missing something... forgot about the Maintenance pane Ok, i will test this better when you update the Extra permissions stuff... No, it simply creates mkext from selected kexts and saves it on desktop.All selected kexts are copied into hidded folder on desktop, then mkext is created and folder is removed. No changes in /S/L/E or /E are performed. It can be useful to build bootcd etc. yeah, i'm not questioning the usefulness of the option, was just confused about how it works. Will give it a try later... Thanks.

fantomas Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 hi janek ty for this great work like for Chameelon wizard ! I dont know if you had also provided more translations like for Chameleon wizard , so I put it here first French translation !!! fr.lproj.zip Respects Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253395-kext-wizard-easy-to-use-kext-installer-and-more/page/5/#findComment-1690526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
janek202 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thank you, but unfortunately, this app doesn't have translation functions, that can read GUI titiles from Localizable strings, like Chameleon Wizard. Translation requires also MainMenu.xib modification.

janek202 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Use Tab button. When it wil look like on a screen, use key arrows to change tab. I know it's quite complicated, but versions before 3.0 didn't have toolbar, and I was to lazy to make whole interface all over again.

polkaholga Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 yeah it's the "Done" button, can't find it anywhere and it seems strange to me that i.e the french translations from fantomas have the same size as mine ( in maintenance window ) but mine are not shown proper... if you could point me to the button i'll fix it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253395-kext-wizard-easy-to-use-kext-installer-and-more/page/5/#findComment-1690705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimutz Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Janek... E/E install permissions are fine I have another one for you; this one is a missing feature; Chameleon supports loading kexts/mkext from "OS specific folders", e.g. /Extra/10.6/Extensions. The lack of this feature makes it hard for me to test the app, since i have my Extra folder organized like that: 1.1 GB on disk (1,076,974,672 bytes) for 1,473 items Do you mind adding that? Chameleon handles these folders like this: - checks and retrieves OS version on the volume being booted "getOSVersion()" - adds OS version to the default path "sprintf(dirSpecExtra, "bt(0,0)/Extra/%s/", &gMacOSVersion);" - checks for the existence of the folder; if it doesn't find it, uses the default Maybe the simplest way of implementing the feature is by adding a "browse" button... What do you think?
