I've been running a UniBeast install of Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave as my daily driver for a while now but it was unstable, I didn't like that it was closed source and Tonymacx86 is possibly one of the most toxic communities I've ever experienced. So I decided to join you guys instead and go for a Vanilla Clover install.
Ethernet, 3D Acc, Audio, Facetime, iMessage all works.
Used the standard vanilla clover guide:
https://Hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-Hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/
I basically just ran through the steps, installed and copied over the EFI, few notes though:
- The Kaby Lake sample config.plist pretty much works out of the box (scroll to the bottom of the Kaby Lake guide page to download in full). I just opened it up in Clover Configurator, changed the ID to
iMac 18,3and generated a new serial. I did skim through the page though to find out what was actually being done in that config.plist and I urge you to do the same. - The branch of Clover Bootloader in the guide no longer has the options mentioned for the install process, I used the latest build from the GitHub repo instead
SSDT additions:
- To get Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina installer and OS to boot I put SSDT-EC.aml in
EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched - To get USB 3.0 and all ports working I used a premade SSDT-UIAC.aml and also put it in
EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched(yes I know, the shame, the shame, I will make my own eventually)
Kexts used:
- AppleALC.kext
- IntelMausiEthernet.kext
- Lilu.kext
- USBInjectAll.kext
- VirtualSMC.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
And that's about it, hope this helps someone with similar hardware. I might try it with OpenCore in the future but seems to be rock solid for now and already boots 3x faster than the UniBeast install did.
