• Internal mic (will never work)

Note: The files in the source code are ONLY FOR REFERENCE

Modify the required fields in the config.plist before using this in your machine. (Or better, just don't use my EFI. Just make your own tbh)

Follow Dortania's Opencore Install Guide to make your EFI. (Highly recommended)

With that said, my EFI folder is uploaded anyway.

What to change

Config entries

• DeviceProperties

  • Add
    • PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x3)
      • layout-id
    • PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)
      • Framebuffer patches if needed (explained in the Dortania guide)

• Misc

  • Debug
    • AppleDebug
    • ApplePanic
    • Target

• NVRAM

  • Add
    • 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82
      • boot-args

• PlatformInfo

  • Generic
    • MLB
    • ROM
    • SystemSerialNumber
    • SystemUUID

Misc changes

• You might need to remove TscAdjustReset.kext depending on whether you're running Monterey or not. You don't need TscAdjustReset unless running Monterey.
• In the info.plist of TscAdjustReset.kext, change the IOCpuNumber to the number of CPU thread you have minus 1. For example, I have entered 11 since I have 12 threads in my CPU.
• Probably will need to redo the USB Mapping (instructions in the Dortania's OpenCore Post Install Guide)

This is just a rough overview, is not necessarily complete, and I am absolutely not responsible for anything that may happen to your machine or your sanity.

Kexts

The kexts mentioned in the dortania guide are all that are needed to boot. However, there are some kexts that offer extra features. These are recommended for post-install.

Note: You may need CpuTscSync if your booting process gets stuck. (I need it, so I included it in the kexts folder)

CPUFriend: Facilitates proper Power management for the CPU. Needs another kext CPUFriendDataProvider, which we can make ourselves by following the post install guide. I have included this kext which was made for my machine, according to my requirements.

NoTouchID.kext: Fingerprint sensors in Hackintoshes have no way of working in macOS. So we use this kext. (Apprently is not needed in Big Sur 11.3+, but I haven't tried to confirm this)

BrightnessKeys.kext: Facilitates automatic handling of brightness keys without acpi modification.

VirtualSMC Plugins:

• SMCProcessor
• SMCSuperIO
• SMCDellSensors
• SMCBatteryManager

VoodooI2C + VoodooI2cHID: Needed for proper trackpad functioning.

Troubleshooting

Even though you followed the Dortania guide correctly, there are bound to be errors. There's the Hackintosh community, where you can discuss and solve problems. r/Hackintosh discord server: https://discord.gg/u8V7N5C r/Hackintosh Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/

Bonus

Renaming the Integrated Graphics in macOS

You can rename your integrated graphics card by making an entry called model inside PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) in your config.plist

Getting a visually more polished UI by faking a 1080p display as 1080p HiDPI

Download RDM and follow the instructions below

Click on Edit in the bottom of the resolution selector pane

Enter your resolution, and check the boxes for Retina and HiDPI

Choose the preview icon you want, I chose a MacBook Air's image. After rebooting, your 1080p HiDPI resolution should be visible in the RDM resolution pane.

Add RDM to your login items, and enjoy!
