I always want to have a long lasting battery ultrabook to install Mojave on. I was looking at Dell XPS 13 but its design is not very good with the camera and other problems. HP Spectre x360 is a nice design but the wifi module is soldered on board. The Envy 13" is the best one in the bunch for MacOS Mojave. I would not use any other macOS besides Mojave, it's the best one so far. If you can't get it done with macOS Mojave, you don't do it correctly, it's much more refined and given than older macOS's.
I wanted the 8th generation because of the 4 cores which is almost 1.5 times faster than this 7th generation i7-7500u, but the price is too high. I picked up this one on Craigslist for $400. I've just ordered the 500GB NVME WD Black for $104 and DW1560 for $29. So, the perfect MacBook Pro 14,2 is less than $600 that last 5-6 hours with Mojave and 8-9 hours on Windows 10. The bench mark is the same as the real MacBookPro 14,2. BTW, this is the first try, there will be on going testing and confirming. 250GB hard drive is hardly enough for dual boot Windows and Mac. You need at least 500GB, I don't use Windows at all, so I'll partition 200GB for Windows and 300GB for Mojave.
All new HP laptops will have kernel panic if using Clover to boot UEFI, at least a fix was found. I'll have more videos and info when I have time to write them. Watch the videos and ask questions if you have any problems.
1. Clover 4558 - Lilu.kext (1.3.3) - AppleALC.kext (1.3.1) - Whatevergreen.kext (1.2.3) - USBInjectAll.kext (0.6.5) - Fakesmc.kext (6.25-332-gf3a8525c.1758) - ACPIBatteryManager.kext (1.81.4) - AHCIPortInjector.kext - BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext (2.2.7) - BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (2.2.7) - CodecCommander.kext (2.6.2) - FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (1.3.9) - FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext (1.3.9) - FakePCIID.kext (1.3.9) - SSDT-AUIC-ALL.aml - SSDT-USBX.aml - SSDT-PNLF.aml - SSDT-PluginType1.aml - PreLoader.efi.
2. For the keys F2 & F3 to work with backlight slider - the Fakesmc.kext version is important for some reasons, I'm still trying to find out why.
The touchscreen actually works without the voodooI2C kexts, just need to patch the clover.
I've been playing with the laptop for over a week now. Ordered the WD 500GB WDS500G2X0C from Amazon for $104, the 256GB is too small for dual booting Windows 10 & Mojave. It's really plug and play.
Hardware - needed to make this a perfect macbook Pro14,2.
1. DW1560 BCM94352Z - make sure it has 2 notches - Tape the 2 right pins on the 4 pins tab for it to work without a hitch on both Windows 10 and Mojave. You can buy from Ebay cheaper but you have to wait for months.
2. 500GB NVMe SSD m.2 connector M is a must for dual boot - the cheaper one will be slower - Crucial NVMe 500GB is $25 less than WD.
3. NOVOO USB-C to HDMI hub that works and inexpensive.
Let's start to get this Kaby Lake working on the HP - I believe HP has the same components for similar configuration on different models. In order to get Mojave to work on Intel Laptop, we need a few important components - Sound is important (look for Realtek - ALC295) - Ethernet if any -Realtek - Trackpad and TouchScreen (Synaptics or Elan).
REPLACE VNMe SSD HARD DRIVE and DW1560 BCM94352Z
The current BIOS is F22, the newest one is F27 but I don't want to update since it's working well. Since I don't really need the original Windows 10 with Junk software in it, I install the latest Windows 10 using Media Creation USB Boot Drive. The important thing is we have to prepare the SSD correctly or our EFI folder will only be set at 100MB which is not enough to install Clover or any other boot loaders. So instead of letting the Windows installer to create the EFI folder automatically, we can set the size ourselves using "diskpart" command. In order to use diskpart, we need to boot with Windows 10 USB installer (hit F9 then select UEFI USB installer) - select system repair and not installation - then select command prompt, from here we can create EFI folder and MSR for Windows installer to install. The product ID is already in the UEFI bios, so we don't really have to manually activate the Windows 10.
diskpart
select disk 0
clean
convert gpt
create partition efi=300 !!! you can change it from 300MB to any size.
format quick fs=fat32 label="EFI"
create partition msr size=16
exit
After exit, reboot with the USB installer again in UEFI mode, select the custom. The Windows installer will select the 300MB EFI folder we've just created.

Problem:
When I Attempt to wake my Machine from sleep, the screen stays black, although the computer is obviously awake !
This Machine has a 1300W Power Supply So Sleep is Very Useful.
I Tried:
1) FIX_WAK and FixShutdown as per Clover Wiki.
2) Although I am using "SAPPHIRE Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5", which Should be completely Supported by Mojave, I Also changed the Part Number to "113-4E353BU-O4E" as per this Guide: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/feb18/RadeonRX-580_MacPro.html. The GPU is working GREAT without even Clover Inject
3) Tried to Run this command: disablehibernate.command.zip
4) Tried darkwake=0 to 10
5) Disabled wake on USB & Wake on LAN (BIOS)

Dell Precision T7610 Workstation
Hackintosh GUIDE (Work in Progress)
Introduction:
Hi Everyone,
This Workstation used to be a Beast with Dual CPUs and tons of RAM, I Know it is now normal to get that much cores in a Desktop but it is still a very decent machine for me (As a Programmer), and I thought it would be a good idea to Install MacOS as the Daily Driver Rather than Linux and It turns out to be a very Great Experience (with Some Challenges ).
Specs:
CPU: 2x Xeon E5-2680 v2 2.8GHz Ten Core Processors RAM: 128 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Memory GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 580 8GD5 Chipset: Intel C602 Audio: Realtek ALC3220 (ALC280) High Definition Audio SAS Drive Controllers (RAID): LSI 2308 SATA/SAS 6Gb/s controller with host based RAID 0, 1, 10 (4 Network Controller 1: Intel 82579 Gigabit Ethernet controller with Remote Wake UP, PXE and Jumbo frames support
Network Controller 2: Intel Ethernet Controller I210
NEC USB3.0 xHCI Controller: Renesas Electronics uPD720201 & uPD720202
Working:
Both "Xeon E5-2680 v2" and all cores with Power Management and P-States (using VoodooTSCSync & ssdtPRGen.sh) ATI Radeon HD 4870 (Vanilla) Realtek ALC3220 (ALC280) (using VoodooHDA till Now - it is partially working with AppleALC using layout-id 13) LSI 2308 SAS (using AstekFusion2) Intel 82579 Network Controller (Vanilla) Intel I210 Network Controller (IntelMausiEthernet) USB 2.0
Not Working:
NEC USB3.0 xHCI Controller (Renesas Electronics uPD720201 & uPD720202) Sleep

Work in progress
This is mini guide and config files for installing Mojave on a Dell XPS 13 9370.
I took inspiration from sensibleJoe at on reddit
My laptop's specs
i7-8550U Intel HD 620 Graphics UHD Display 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD PM961 Killer 1435 Wifi
Here is what works
Intel HD Graphics Sleep Sound & Mic USB Wifi (Internal Killer Wifi will not work) Bluetooth Power Management Battery Management Screen Brightness Control
What does not work
Internal Wifi Camera SD Card reader
I followed the vanilla guide here to create the Mac OS Mojave install USB. I used Mac OS 10.14.3.
Here are some rough steps
1. Create the USB installer for Mojave. You can use apple's own instructions
2. Once the installer USB creation is complete, Install the latest version of clover to the USB disk with the following options
Install Clover for UEFI booting only
Install Clover to the ESP
Leave everything else as default (minimal install without a bunch of drivers)
3. Then mount the EFI folder on the USB drive and replace the files in the config folder with the ones from the attached zip file over writing the files already there. This config is specifically for Dell XPS 13 9370.
4. Go into the UEFI/BIOS on the laptop, Make sure your SATA mode is set to AHCI (And not Raid). Save and Exit
5. Boot with the USB disk and install Mojave
6. After the install is complete, Use the USB to boot again but this time boot into the newly installed Mojave partition.
7. Install Clover on to the SSD with the same options as before.
8. Then copy the config files to the EFI folder on the SSD overwriting the config folder there.
9. Acquire the backlight AppleBacklightFixup.kext from here and install to /Library/Extensions (Thanks to Rehabman for the kext)
10. Reboot.
EDIT: V4 fixes many things, like powermanagement, backlight control etc. you also need to install AppleBacklightFixup.kext to /Library/Extensions
