The Windows Tweaker Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hello everyone, During the last day i am trying to improve my batterylife and also improving the performance of my hacktintosh. Normaly i use the nullcpupowermanagement.kext, disabler.kext and voodoobattery.kext. This method works fine but after reading some topics a understand it can be better. For example taking use of the P and C stage. I have installed the voodomonitor and voodoopstage kexts and i noticed that my battery last a little bit longer. Only there is no increase of performance so thats why i wrote this topic. In snow leopard there was the option to select a high performance or better battery life in the energy prefpane. Did apple remove that in Lion? And what would you people recommend? I hope you all have some anwsers :-) The Windows Tweaker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274615-powermanagementwhats-the-best-option/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 RC5 isn't going to be able to boot lion (through all revisions), for this you will need chameleon 2.1. Remove nullpowermanagement and disabler (you should only need 1 of these anyway, they do the same thing). Rebuild caches and repair permissions, then reboot in verbose mode and enable c and p states: -v EnablePStates=Yes EnableCStates=Yes During boot, look for lines with AppleCPUPowerManagement.kext. If it boots, check c+p states are working with z-cpu or similar (your voodoo monitor may work, not sure though) If you get a kernel panic, you may need to edit your DSDT in order to get AppleCPUPowerManagement to load.
