  • Keyboard with Volume Controls and Brightness controls
  • Power Management with percentage

What doesn't work:

  • Nvidia GPU (not supported)
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • Camera (I changed SMBIOS from 14,1 to 15,4 camera doesn't work, but audio started to work properly)

Let's Get Started

Prepare:

  • HP Probook 440 G4
  • macOS Mojave downloaded from the App Store
  • atleast 8GB USB stick
  • USB Wifi adapter or LAN cable

Bios:

  • open F10
  • boot menu F9
  • disabled Secure Boot
  • disabled VT-d
  • enabled VTx

USB installer:

  • connect the USB stick to a device running macOS (Mac or Hackintosh)
  • open Disk Utility - format USB as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and rename it to USB
  • download MacOS Mojave from the Apple App Store
  • after download open terminal and paste:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB

Installation:

  • turn on laptop and start pressing F9 key (it opens boot menu)
  • select your USB stick and wait for it to boot
  • select Install macOS... (use arrows and enter)
  • after boot select Disk Utility
  • in left corner click on "view" and select "Show All Devices"
  • select your drive for Hackintosh
  • format it as "APFS", scheme "GUID Partition Map"
  • close Disk Utility and go to Install macOS, select your drive and continue...
  • when your laptop restarts, be sure it boots to your USB stick
  • continue the installation
  • after installation completed, configure Hackintosh setting for your need

Post Instalation:

  • download Clover Bootloader and install it for UEFI booting only
  • go here and follow instruction (if it will show to enter the password over and over, then try to add before the command - sudo)
  • after completing the previous point download my EFI folder
  • go to Clover Configurator and mount EFI partition on the current boot disk
  • replace EFI with my EFI
  • reboot your laptop

Now everything should be working

Quick Fix:

  • If trackpad suddenly stops working just hit print screen button on your keyboard (it works as toggle for trackpad)

Enjoy your new hackintosh
