@Jake Lo Mad props to ya sir, I was going to build a boot loader for my G3 (haven't had time to get to it) and saw your EFI, excellent job man. worked. I may do a little tweaking but I don't think I need to do much...

 

I am going to add this to the 1st post and give you the credit

Thanks. Actually it can be updated a bit. We no longer need VoodooI2C.kext to enable the internal drive, just add ctlnaAHCIPort.kext instead. Multitouch gesture can be added to the 840 G2 as well with the same 2 kexts (VoodooSMBus + VoodooRMI). You just need to add the device id to VoodooSMBus. For the 840 G2, it's 0x9ca28086

I had posted the edited files here

@Jake Lo

Good work, I updated OC to .6.1.0 and the latest Lilu.kexts and WhatEverGreen.kexts as well. I did some other changes in the config plist and remove the OPenCore boot picker to builtin so the Reset NVRAM is easy to get too.

Yep, same model.

 

Thanks :)

 

Currently the laptop is configured with Rehabman's Hotpatch-Clover method. So if I ONLY use what's used now, would that be enough?

Multitouch gesture on the 850 G3 works with: VoodooPS2Controller (by Acidanthera) + VoodooSMBus + VoodooRMI

For OpenCore disable the VoodooPS2Controller plugins: VoodooPS2Trackpad VoodooPS2Mouse and VoodooInput (just the one in VoodooPS2Controller)

Put VoodooPS2Controller (and keyboard plugins) before VoodooSMBus and put VoodooSMBus before VoodooRMI

For OpenCore disable the VoodooRMI plugin: RMII2C 

 

Question: has anyone been able to get the little stick on the keyboard ("The {censored}") and the buttons directly under the keyboard (and thus above the trackpad) working?

 

Edit: for the censored word one can also read “gnome nose” ;-)

Thank you, this works perfectly on EliteBook 840 G2 ! I successfully updated to the latest kexts.

per quelli che stanno giocando, ecco la mia ultima cartella EFI, ricorda che avrai bisogno dei numeri di serie. fammi sapere la tua esperienza

Pass ioreg please ?
Do you have dual boot with Win?
Do you boot from OC?
