I have followed your guide to succesfully hackintosh my ASUS laptop, but there are things that I'm struggling to get it working:

  • Battery status (Always showing 100% not charging)
  • iMessage and Facetime (It gives me the error you can see in the pictures)
  • ELAN 1200 GPIO trackpad

The primary problems are the battery and the trackpad, because I want to have a laptop but I don't know if my clover configuration,kexts and DSDT are correct.

I will appreciate if you can help me to solve the problems and tell me what I can try to fix them.

PoomSmart thanks for this wonderful guide

I submit my EFI folder with my kexts and patched DSDT

  1. Revert the change of _STA inside TPD0 (Trackpad)
  2. Try regenerating machine serial number (from SMBIOS)
  3. Remove VoodooI2C.kext and VoodooI2CHID.kext from your EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other, these kexts must be installed to /Library/Extensions
  4. Should use ACPIBatteryManager from here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-acpi-battery-driver/downloads/
  5. Check with the latest README to see if you have to update anything else

Thanks for the reply,
I have this problems:

  1. I don't know how to do that (Can you edit that for mi please or explain better)
  2. I regenerated a new SN, Board S/N and SmUUid
  3. If I put the kexts in /Library/Extensions a kernel panic occurrs during startup, I think is caused because I didn't edit the DSDT like you said in step 1
  4. I used that kext and installed on /Library/Extensions and battery still showing 100%
  5. I checked all README

Now iMessage gives me another error as you can see in the picture
I'm attaching my new clover EFI folder, as well as the folders with the added kexts (/System/Library/Extensions and /Library/Extensions)

I hope you can help me

It may be better for you to start from the vanilla DSDT.aml generated by Clover F4 and then patch what are required in README.

For iMessages, read https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-imessage.196827/
