About Mac with Intel Power Gadget report
Specifications:
Intel Core i5-8265U
Intel UHD Graphics 620
8 GB LPDDR3 RAM
WDC SN520 256 GB NVMe SSD - 2 partitions (Monterey and Ventura)
Running macOS Version 13.0 Beta (22A5266r) using OpenCore 0.8.2 DEBUG
What works:
-WiFi and Bluetooth (tried the alpha version of Airportitlwm, but iSwitched back to itlwm because ventura airportitlwm doesn't work on Monterey, which wouldn't even boot)
-Proper CPU Power Management (low power mode works well for idle)
-Sound
-Trackpad and Keyboard backlight
-GPU Acceleration
-Sleep
-Stage manager (animation is a bit laggy, but hey, it works!)
-HDMI
What doesn't work:
-Airdrop
-Webcam (has never worked anyway)
-SD Card (didn't bother fixing it)
Untested:
-Sidecar
Overall, everything that works with Monterey works here too
Performance and battery is \slightly* worse compared to 12.0, but for a beta ( and the first one at that), I'm amazed by how well it works!*
How I got it to work along with hurdles I had gone through:
-> AvoidRuntimeDefrag --> False ; However, I had to set it back to true after the first phase of the installation, otherwise Firmware couldn't be updated error would pop up
-> additional Boot-args --> -lilubetaall -lilubeta -alcbeta -wegbeta -vsmcbeta -v
--> Apparently, you don't have to download the latest kexts when you have the beta args, but I still did it anyway just to be sure either works
Hurdle --> IOPLATFORMRESTARTHALTACTION -> AppleSMC and reboot
Solution: Honestly, I didn't know what fixed it cuz I did a bunch of things all at once instead of applying a "fix" one at a time such as:
-Advisefeatures --> True
-NVRAM reset every installer boot
-Injecting only "essential kexts" for installation, i.e., lilu, weg, alc, hibernationfixup, cputscsync, vsmc and its tools. kb backlight patch, cpufriend, and alc294 patch were added later after the installation
-testing different framebuffers
-> First attempt was through OTA but I couldn't get it to work so I did a fresh install instead
