What's Not Working?

Apple Pay, requires TouchID, more information here

Bugs

DRM support (iTunes Movies, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime and Netflix, and others) could be fixed in the future, more information here and here.
No sound if power unplugged or mic is being used after sleep, see Ab2774#2.
Microphone doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox, see Ab2774#3.
Lowest brightness, in real Macs, the lowest brightness turns the screen completely black, however, AppleBacklightSmoother Kext doesn`t support this feature yet.
Screen light-up after wake, in Big Sur a second keyboard click is required to light up the screen, this can be fixed but it will break sleep causing instant wake.

Requirement

16GB USB drive
macOS Big Sur image downloaded from the Appstore
~~Mouse, because trackpad won't work in the installation~~ Fixed with VoodooI2C v2.4

BIOS Configuration

Before doing anything, make sure to update your BIOS to the latest version from here, preparing your laptop to macOS, reboot your laptop, when the Lenovo logo appears press F2, when the BIOS menu appears go to:

"Configuration" SATA Controller Mode to AHCI, HotKey Mode to Enabled.
"Security" Intel Platform Trust Technology to Disabled, Intel SGX to Disabled, Secure Boot to Disabled.
"Boot" Boot Mode to UEFI,Fast Boot to Disabled, USB Boot to Enabled.
"Exit" OS Optimized Defaults to Disabled.

Installation

After downloading macOS Big Sur from the AppStore (do not use a distro image like Hackintosh Zone otherwise it's gonna break your system and you won't get any support using it), format your USB drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", then open Terminal and type: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur\.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume, and remember, MyVolume is for the name of your USB drive, you can change it if you would, mount the EFI partition in your USB, Copy-and-paste the folder EFI from this release's repository, unzip SMBIOS Generator, open Terminal and drag-and-drop macserial to the terminal window, then type --generate-all and press enter, then copy MacBookPro14,1 SMBIOS (which is the closest one to this laptop's hardware) and change it, copy to both Clover's config.plist and OpenCore's config.plist, update your kexts and Clover Bootloader or OpenCore (if a new update is available), reboot your laptop and press F12 to enter BIOS Menu, choose your USB installer and boot from it, you should see the Clover Boot Menu, boot from the USB that shown, it may take some time to boot, after is done, you should see macOS Utilities, choose Disk Utility and erase the drive you want to install macOS on it, click on Erase and type the name that you want, like: "Macintosh HD", choose the format as APFS and Scheme as GUID Partition Map and click Erase, after it's done, close the window and go back to macOS Utilities and choose Install macOS, click Agree to accept the license agreement, the installation should starts now, your laptop should restarts several times, after it's done, login to your AppleID (for more specific guide please go here), after setting up your laptop, unzip the folder, (please delete CodecComannder and ALCPlugFix as they're no longer required with AppleALC 1.5.4), if you have problems with sleep please go here restart, and you're ready to go!

Extras

After you finish the installation you'll notice that your iMessage and other Apple services aren't working properly, to fix that issue you have to add ROM, MLB and a proper SMBIOS (which is MacBookPro14,1 for this device) in your config.plist, for more information follow this guide from here.
If you have an SSD installed, you can enable TRIM support on it, just enable this option in your config.plist and enjoy! (consider that it may slow booting a bit for APFS formatted SSDs, more information about TRIM here Clover: OpenCore:
If you're a Synaptics trackpad user, your trackpad is supported! Just enable these options that can be found in Extras folder in this repository realeses to your config.plist and copy VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext to Kexts or kexts/Other folder.
If you don't like the name of your laptop that shown in "About This Mac", you can change it! Press Shift+Cmd+G ⇧⌘G and copy-and-paste this path: /Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist, and remember, the word Username Is for your username, now download your favorite plist editor (mine is "PilstEdit Pro"), then you can change to Lenovo IdeaPad 320-14IKB (80XK) or any name you want.
Fn keys don't work usually on most hackintoshes, luckily, YogaSMC can fix this! Not just enabling Fn keys and their abilities, it enables Lenovo features like Conversation Mode to stop charging the battery at %60 to increase it's age, ture Cycle Count reading because macOS ones can be wrong, Fn Mode etc, to get those features, YogaSMC is included inside the EFIs, all you have to do is install YogaSMCNC app and YogaSMCPane which are included in the release.
The keyboard experience on this laptop is a bit different than a real mac, in order to make the closest to a real mac we need to make a couple of changes, luckily, in the latest VoodooPS2 release, it automatically swaps Cmd to Win, if you want to reverse it, use SSDT-Swap-Alt-Cmd (or swap them in System Preferences as shown in the photo), to prevent PrtSc from disabling trackpad we need to remap it as F13 (can be remaped to take screenshots and record videos as shown in the photo) and remap F6 as PrtSc to disable trackpad, to make Delete key working like a real Mac we need to remap it as Backspace, BrightnessKeys Kext automatically remaps brightness keys without any ACPI requirements, if your brightness keys are F11 and F12, please remove these two lines using MaciASL which can be found here as they are not required and will affect brightness keys in Fn Mode, then compile it and replace it, if your brightness keys are F14 and F15, you're good to go! If you want to use all keyboard patches, there's an SSDT that combines them all which is SSDT-PS2-Map, please avoid using all of them to prevent having a Kernel Panic.
Who needs CDs these days? You can buy this caddy and replace it with the CD Drive from here to get dual drives.
4GB of ram isn't enough these days, Unfortunately, 4GB is built-in the motherboard, so the maximum is 12GB, you can upgrade your RAM to 12GB total from here.
The Wi-Fi card that shipped with this laptop is probably an Intel Wi-Fi card which can be fixed with itlwm Kext which can be found here, please check all supported cards before buying from here, there's another option which is buying a Broadcom Card like DW1560 and DW1830, please check all supported cards before buying from here, or you can buy an Apple Wi-Fi Card like BCM94360CS2, The Wi-Fi Card, The Adapter, The Antennas.
You can change the frequency of your CPU in config.plist as shown in the photo, without changing it, macOS will recognize it as 2.71 GHz for some-reason.
You can change the name of your graphics like this, I chose the name Intel HD Graphics 620 macOS Edition you can choose whatever you want as shown in the photo. Clover: OpenCore:
If your RAM information isn't shown properly in System Report you can fix that by adding it to your Clover's config.plist.
You can make your laptop boots automatically to macOS if you don't have another OS installed as shown in the photos, type your drive's name, check Fast, now your laptop should boot automatically to macOS without the Clover Boot Menu
In OpenCore it's a bit different, disable ShowPicker and open System Preferences, Startup Disk, type your password, choose the disk that you boots from, and restart, if you want it to boot normally, press Esc in the startup menu, to show other disks and tools press Space, make sure to do this when you're done installing macOS and troubleshooting, in case you needed to boot to Preboot or reset NVRAM etc.
You can get the famous Mac-Chime when booting! By enabling these two options in your config.plist and copy AudioDxe.efi from Extras folder in this repository realeses to Drivers folder, but consider that it may slow your booting a bit.
If you want to get these options to choose the resolution like this you can! by running this command which can be found here, type your password and choose the numbers 1,3,1 then restart.
If you don't like the default Clover you can change it! Search the web and choose your favorite theme, copy-and-paste it to themes in EFI folder, then go to your config.plist, GUI section, Theme and type the name of your theme, you can use Clover OSS Theme, which looks like a real Mac boot-up screen.
