Hardware Compatibility 🧰

What works:

  • CPU Undervolting
  • Dual Battery (X220 Battery patch)
  • All function keys working with yoga SMC
  • Intel HD 620 Graphics
  • Fan control (Fan stops at low temp below 60 and starts working above 55 automatically, not to worry)
  • Touchscreen (VoodooI2C) - disabled it because it works like a f**king gaint touchpad!
  • Power management (CPU friend data)
  • Wi-Fi (Intel Wi-Fi 8265)
  • Bluetooth 4.0 (Intel Wi-Fi 8265)
  • USB C & Thunderbolt 3 (Hot plug not work, device should be connected before boot to work)
  • Apple HD Audio (ALC id=29 but not 47, because 47 gives unwanted buzzing noise when 3.5mm jack connected)
  • Sleep (works perfect!)
  • wake works (no issues with resuming services like BT and wifi etc)
  • SD Card slot
  • Handoff and Continuity (idk, I don't use it)
  • AirDrop (idk, I don't use it)

What doesn't work:

  • FingerPrint Reader (no implementation)
  • HDMI (Will work through USB C / Thunderbolt Hub pass-through)
