I will no longer maintain this repository because I switched to a Lenovo Thinkpad x1 yoga 4th generation.
This repository is a working progress of the clover folder used to install catalina beta on a Lenovo ThinkPad T480s. I started with https://github.com/linusyang92/macOS-ThinkPad-T480s and realised that an update to catalina beta results in a kernel panic. After some testing I found that the VirtualSMC.kext prevents the installation. So this clover folder excludes this file.
I AM RUNNING BETA 5 ATM. BLUETOOTH DOES NOT CONNECT BUT THE ISSUE ALSO APPEARS ON MY MACBOOK AIR SO IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO HACKINTOSH. IF YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON BLUETOOTH, STAY WITH BETA 4.

- Dell DW1830 Wireless (original Intel AC8265 not working)
- WQHD display

- Fix for the trackpad pref https://kaykun.net/hf/Trackpad.zip (credit @KayKun from hackintosh-forum.de)
- By plugging in an Apple Trackpad 2 via USB I was able to get into the trackpad preference menu (even after unplugging it afterwards). This is only a temporary fix as it is reverted after a restart.
- Plugging in an external display via USB-C (thunderbolt 3) results in reboot
- Trackpad is not properly configurable
- probably many more that I do not know of yet ...
