stdmje Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi all, After many years of success with AudioGod's EFI, now when i try to upgrade to Ventura, the installer reboots and nothing happens. I've been updating my OC version and kexts with OC Auxiliary tools and everything works fine in Monterey 12.6.1 I am using a z390 Pro, Intel i7 and a Radeon RX 580 GPU. Imac 19,1. If anyone can help me or share a working EFI would be amazing. Thanks a lot for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panosru Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Is anyone here able to transfer calls between iPhone and Hackintosh? I can make calls via my Hackintosh and transfer them to my iPhone, but I'm unable to transfer any call from my iPhone to my Hackintosh, once I select my Hackintosh, the call is dropped. At first I thought that this might be a Hackintosh issue, but I saw similar issues in native macs and even recent ones with Apple Silicon. Thanks!

eSaF Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @panosru - Handoff between iPhone and Mac is working like a real Mac for me, even auto Camera switching in F/Time using the iPhone Cameras when placed close to the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @eSaF I thought that camera continuity only worked on MacBooks, how you made it work on desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @stdmje Your OC version as well as kexts were quite old and really needed updating. I have included pics of before and after. Clean the NvRAM and try this updated EFI Folder on the Efi Partition of a USB Drive before you over-write your current EFI Folder. If it boots you machine ok then copy over the entire Folder as is and enjoy. PS - There is no need to post files off site you can compress the files if they are too large and attached to your posts.

eSaF Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @panosru - It just works on my setup using a Fenvi T-919 Card, plus making sure Phone and machine are using the same WIFI connection. I have to say the picture quality from the iPhone is far superior to my Optia Camera. Personally to date I think it is the best innovation Apple has added to the app line up in OS X, it works seamless, you just move you phone close to your machine during a F/Time and it automatically switches over to the iPhone cameras without a pause.

panosru Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 and you can transfer your call from your iPhone to your hackintosh without any issue? In my case my iPhone doesn't show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdmje Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi @eSaF thanks a lot for that. The EFI works fine but still rebooting when trying to upgrade to Ventura. I've also tried with the EFI posted by @D3v1L but happens the same. When i select the MacOS Installer in the OC boot screen the Apple logo appears and after some seconds the system reboots.

eSaF Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @stdmje Ok I will take a closer look at your files and see if I can spot what the problem is. @panosru Like I said, it works like a real Mac with zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdmje Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I don't know how but it finally worked! I upgraded to OC 8.6 and looks like it did the trick. Thanks @eSaF for your help!! Edited November 9, 2022 by stdmje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3v1L Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @stdmje, don't use my EFI. Is for MacPro 7,1 smbios, different BIOS settings from iMac19,1. Follow @eSaF post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I change my smBIOS to MacPro but did not notice any performance gains. Just did a comparison to my M1 Pro MacBook in Davinci Resolve, transcoding a H.264 to ProRes HQ which I do all the time. It´s quite shocking. The M1 Pro took 17 seconds and the Hack 1 minute and 5 seconds for the same clip. I wonder how this can happen. RAW performance is similar in Cinebench. I´m wondering if it makes sense to upgrade to a 13900k for example. During the export the 9900k as maxed out. The M1 Pro was using 20% of its CPU. I guess the rest was done by the hardware encoders.

D3v1L Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) well Cinebench is not a refer... btw.. no, not make sense (for me...). ...fast encode...well same here.. MacPro7,1 is 10x faster than my z390 hack...Tr40 is 2x faster than my MacPro but... z390 is 1,2k€; MP7,1 is 38k€ and Tr40 is 9k€... upgrade, worth the money or is only to have something faster? I'll use it for work. Time is money and, for me, is worth... for you? (9900k vs 13900k in hackintosh uhm...I think is faster but..not sure is TOO fast...) 🙂 Edited November 10, 2022 by D3v1L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I made a comparison between my M1 Pro and the 9900k in Resolve. Quiet disappointing. https://vimeo.com/769443452 here is the file I used: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ThzRbBEonNY2AvZoD-rtJzj53byP3SmP/view?usp=share_link I wonder if any of you hacks can beat the M1 Pro base model in Resolve.

CloverLeaf Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 @benjiolino M1/M2's are well known for it's great performance in video editing. Intel based hacks are good all arounders + you have the upgradability and the freedom to change parts according to your needs. If you mostly do video editing, decoding etc. then... yes, M1/M2 is a better option in terms of optimization and performance BUT worst in customization and future upgrades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3v1L Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) @benjiolino Z390 + 6 core transcoding in 1min 37sec ; MacPro + 28 core transcoding in 41sec ; Tr40 + 32 core transcoding in 26sec . M1 and M2 is normally faster due to ARM architecture and 'couse they use dedicate transcoding chip... MBP have good speed! but...you buy it, they die with it (explain: update hardware not too uhm...easy xD ) btw, transcoding speed related to: ARM cpu, 6gbps native pci line nvme, native encoding chip etc. it's normal evolution 🙂 I think new MP with M2 chip it take 2/3 sec for doing this task LoL ... 😄 Edited November 12, 2022 by D3v1L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blesh Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) @D3v1L Small update: After removing CPUFriend.kext everything works fine. Also updating to macOS 13.0.1 went trough like butter.

Blesh Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 @D3v1L Do you know whether it is possible to run iGPU parallel with GPU on the MacPro? I'm asking because some users noticed that Private Relay needs the iGPU to get working. Or is there a better way? Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
