Hackintosh Configuration for Gigabyte Aero 15W

Don't forget to star this project if you like it!

FORK the project to your own repository and clone it to your machine to make changes.

ACPI files are unique, so I strongly recommend you configure your own DSDT when your build is stable.

Current Clover Version of the Project: 4558

Current macOS Version of the Project: 10.13.6

Update

  • [20180901] I updated a FIX for 10.13.6 to skip the GUI while booting. Also has minor changes to file hierarchy.
  • [20180830] I updated all kext to the newest version. Also changed AppleALC back to VoodooHDA.
  • [20180807] macOS 10.13.6 is a safe update and it also solves the brightness issue.
  • [20180721] Released a release fixing the ethernet. All users are suggested to upgrade to this version.

Introduction

This EFI configursation is capable for installing too. Replace the EFI folder in the Installation USB.

If you want to download the EFI files to try your luck, you can check out the Configuration Release.

Or, if you are interested in the theme I used, check it out over here: Minimalism.

Or, if you want to see how it looks like in System Information, you can check it out here: SystemInfo.

Warning

  • DO NOT USE FILEVAULT DURING INSTALLATION!!! 100% DISK BREAK AFTER REBOOT GUARANTEED.

Announcements

  • Links below in the Quick Link section will navigate you to different macOS versions.
  • If you cannot mount EFI via Clover Configurator, then here is a Guide for mounting EFI using TERMINAL.
  • macOS 10.14 Mojave is coming soon! The official release is this fall. Super excited! Can't wait to see it happen!
  • Therefore, it is unlikely that I will support macOS 10.13.6. Instead, I will add macOS 10.14 Mojave support in the future.
  • AppleALC is becoming problemsome and periodically not working, so I replaced with the newest VoodooHDA 2.9.1.
  • Therefore, the speaker is not working but at least the headphone jack works.
  • Please tell me if you solved this problem!
