List of working on this machine> HW acceleration (pretty lag but HD4000 lol what do you expect) USB WiFi (Uses Chris1111 USB driver) USB Sound Bluetooth (only the wifi but the BT still working lmao) Brightness HDMI (But no sound) Ethernet Keyboard And Trackpad

List that DOESN'T working at all> WiFi iMessage (gonna fix that later) FaceTime Camera (this thing also broke on my windows so its hardware issues) And My Brain

Improvements & Suggestions:

  1. Graphics Performance (HD4000):

    • HD4000 can be a bit sluggish, but try tweaking the framebuffer settings in config.plist with WhateverGreen.kext to see if it improves.
    • Using the boot argument igfxvesa might help with stability, though it can limit resolution.

  2. HDMI Audio:

    • Since HDMI is working but without sound, check if adding a patched AppleALC layout ID for the Realtek ALC270 can help. You might need to experiment with IDs, but try injecting layout ID 3 or 28 first, as these are commonly compatible with ALC270.

  3. Ethernet and USB WiFi Stability:

    • Your TP-Link Archer T2U Nano should work well with Chris1111’s drivers, but Ethernet can sometimes take priority, causing disconnects.
    • Try disabling the Ethernet in System Preferences > Network when using USB WiFi for a more stable connection.

  4. iMessage and FaceTime:

    • For iMessage, check that you’ve added unique serial numbers, MLB, and ROM values in PlatformInfo in OpenCore’s config.plist (GenSMBIOS can generate these).
    • Sign out of iCloud on macOS, restart, and sign back in. Apple’s verification servers can be picky, so a unique set of serials may help.

  5. HD4000 Brightness Control:

    • If brightness controls are not fully responsive, try using the BrightnessKeys.kext or SSDT-PNLF.aml in the ACPI folder to improve control. This may also need adjustments in config.plist for WhateverGreen brightness settings.

  6. PS/2 Keyboard and Trackpad:

    • If you’re using a custom PS/2 kext, double-check that it’s the latest VoodooPS2Controller kext version. This can improve response and customisation for gestures if enabled in the kext’s preferences.

  7. Bluetooth Fix:

    • Sometimes, macOS has trouble recognising the Atheros Bluetooth. Disabling the WiFi portion can interfere, so if you don’t need WiFi, try enabling just Bluetooth from System Preferences > Bluetooth to maintain functionality.

Sounds like you’ve covered a lot of ground already! Enjoy running Sequoia on your K46CM, and great job working through all those hurdles!
