Presenting the multi-capability and entirely useful OSx86 Tools Utility, brought to you by our very own ~pcwiz! This utility combines a variety of common tasks, hacks, and commands into one program with an easy-to-use user interface, designed to be helpful to both Hackint0sh newbies and seasoned sages. Actively undergoing the final stages of beta development, OSx86 Tools Utility is now open for public testing in order to find and fix any remaining bugs.

 

Currently implemented functions include:

* Repair Permissions

* Install standard Darwin (no EFI) bootloader

* Add EFI boot strings

* Add kernel flags, quietboot, timeout, and graphics mode to com.apple.Boot.plist

* View PCI Device/Vendor information and IDs

* Nice new GUI screen for viewing device IDs (LSPCI)

* Minor bugs fixed, Restart buttons added

* Restore System to Factory Defaults

* About this Mac modifier (not zephy's, this is a different one of our own, set CPU, RAM, and Image!)

* Clear User Application Cache

* Clear System Application Cache

* A new icon (DiaboliK's icon with Paranoid Marvin mod)

That would be relatively easy to do, except most of that info comes from the AppleSMBIOS.kext, and to be able to do that, you would have to have an editable version of AppleSMBIOS.kext where you can set the values in info.plist, for example, mac.nub's SMBIOS rev.6 and Duvel3000's modified mac.nub SMBIOS.

 

Mebster,

 

I am making a Windows version that has one big button in the middle that can simulate a BSOD :) jk

Wow this looks nice!

 

Is Quartz GL what is also known as 'QE' when people say 'QE/CI'???

As i know,

Quartz GL is the same thing of "Quartz 2d Extreme" from Tiger.

 

But in 10.5 Apple rename it to Quartz GL, and this is not really the same thing

but gives you a boost on graphics performance IF your card has support for this.

Nope, QE is "Quartz Extreme". Wouldn't that be nice to have full QE/CI support at the touch of a button? :D BTW, cabron has asked me to mention that if you enable Quartz GL on an unsupported graphics card, the next time you reboot, loginwindow.app will crash and you won't be able to get into OS X. Solution to fix it if it accidentally happens:

 

1) Boot with -v -s

2) Run these commands:

 

/sbin/mount -uw /
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver QuartzGLEnabled boolean -NO
reboot

Great Job.

I think there is one thing that will make this PERFECT (at least for me :D ).

I'm thinking.... Bootable, especially concerning the Kernels/Extensions/and Disk Utilities in the App, this would be very helpful for the Newbies Crashing problems. This would give the app a huge popularity and will make it referenced in almost all pages in the forum for those :censored2: who are posting their problems :D .

awesome!Thanks alotDoes it have a chinese translation? I can translate it if not available yet. :)And, I think you could add a "Force Change Resolution & Refresh Rate"(just like SwitchResX and DisplayConfigX) function in next release version. :(

mayoxy,

 

I saw that, its easy to fix. Read this (from the bug tracker):

 

http://######.com/osx86tools/tracke...ort.php?bugid=3

 

I AM attempting to make a bootable version of this, REVENGE maybe you should add that since several people have asked already. YangYangYang, sure you can do a Chinese translation if you want :hysterical:
