Can solve Pink icon and Launchpad ? 

Thanks!!

 

Everybody！！！Good news！！！ I solve  Pink Launchpad！！！ My method： First ，to System Preferences - displays .And choose "scaled",and choose the other resolution ratio，and you open launchpad you will find the icon to normal！！！ Finally，you

choose former resolution ratio，and Launchpad still normal!!

Sorry my English!!

New AMD kernel and PM pack.

Added Sinetek's great graphics fix and modified it to only be used on AMD CPUs.

So this is the first release kernel (thanks Sinetek, great work :D)

It will run fine on both AMD and Intel CPUs.


 

Yes it will, No more glitches on ATI, NVIDIA.

still got some pink icons though.

Really great work :D

Sleep is working without SleepEnabler.kext, I'm not sure if it is a reflection of some DSDT patching I've made, but it's working...

 

Is corecrypto still required with this kernel? I'm using only NullCPUPowerManagement.kext anv corecrypto.kext FakeSMC.kext and Atheros for ethernet.

 

If someone needs help with DSDTs I think I can help, you just PM me and I'll take care ASAP. ;)

Just checked now and my AMD sleep is working too for the first time!

No Corecrypto needed for the kernel compiled by Shanee, not sure of AnV's recently posted kernel.

hi andy

is there anther way not to touch system.kext  like make kext that do that you did on it or at least to be patched through clover ?

If all we have to complain about now is iCloud & iMessage then I must say that is pretty good going devs! Great Work Guys!

I think most of the work has been done, but it would be even better if we solve the cache problem Sinetek has found in a way we don't need to disable it, i mean there's a reason for caching, disabling it is a solution for our graphics problem but maybe we can make cache works correctly instead of disabling it, i don't know, maybe the only way is disabling it...

If you want VoodooPState.kext to work on any kernel you need the custom System.kext

If you don't use VoodooPState.kext it isn't needed.

I patched the routines that check the PM (AICPUPM) attach ;)

I get this when using RC7, tried both with and without GraphicsEnabler. Am I maybe missing something? I haven't replaced System.kext with the one from the pack posted by Andy. Retail with Pandora.

Use Clover for booting, not Chameleon...

Try the kernel in the latest PM Pack (REL1)

@Andy. Is it possible to fully emulate an Intel CPU? I think this would solve some problems. Terminal and System Info reads and Intel but for example Geekbench and the OpenGL Extension Viewer shows an AMD.

Should I also replace the kexts that are in that pack?

 

edit: still does not work with the kernel from your pack

In my case, corecrypto - no need anymore with both of kernels (andy and sinetek fix), but it's a lot faster booting with corecrypto to me.

 

EDIT: But I still don't have QE/CI   :(

Recreated the installer USB and now it's busy installing :)

Gooooood :) I am now installing Clover on USB and then I will try to boot with that to Mavericks. I have got Clover on CD but when I try to boot, always restart :/ It's annoying...

I installed all the kexts and the new kernel. Borderlands 2 runs on maximum with no problems, only issue I'm having is clover not saving my settings. How can I edit config.plist while in OS X.

EDIT: Figured it out.
