So i was looking for a laptop for music production in a budget, my first choice was to go for Macbook air 2015(that's the one available in India 60,000 rupees, now there is new one for 109,990 rupees).
After thinking for a while i wanted more performance so i changed my mind and bought this one for about 40,000+2000(120Gb kingston SSD, replaced DVD drive with SSD)+500(TP link-WN725)=42500 rupees. This was my first ever hackintosh build.
- I first installed High Sierra and recently updated to 10.14.3.
- Followed Rehabman's laptop guide on tonymacx86 bootable usb drive created from vmware.
- Used config file from hd620 skylake spoof linked in that guide.
Specs:
i5-8250u,UHD 620
8gb ddr4 RAM + one unused slot.
Kexts used:
in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHER/
- ACPIBatteryManager
- AppleALC
- FakeSMC
- Lilu
- RealtekRTL8111
- VoodooPS2Controller
- Whatevergreen
in Library/Extensions
- CodecCommander
- Lilu
- BacklightFixup
Audio(ALC282) layoutid-3:
Got it working with AppleALC+Lilu+Codeccommander+IRQ dsdt patch.
Other things:
Battery percentage and Brightness fix followed rehabman's guide.
Dual booting - followed guide in r/Hackintosh guide found in sidebar.
What's not working:
- Can't make CPU to idle at 800Mhz stays at 1.2Ghz.(there is a fix for this but not working for me for whatever reason and don't have enough time).
- Wifi and bluetooth(8273de)
- All Macbook trackpad gestures are not working but basic things like scroll,zoom,double click works.(there might be a fix for this)
Haven't tested:
Imessage and Facetime
Rest everything works.
Thank you.
