Enable I2C Trackpad (VoodooI2C) - Not a Guide... not really

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Are you using your own DSDT? Or did you download the DSDT from somewhere? Press F4 at clover bootloader and upload here.

It is generated with clover.

Btw I put Disabled flag on "change PCI0.GPI0._STA to PCI0.GPI0.XSTA" and my keyboard started nor working again.

[ref]gish94[/ref],

Renaming status for GPI0 is not needed as your GPI0 device is natively supported. No idea how this patch can affect keyboard, tho.

Change TPD0 _CRS patch in clover to my hex value and reboot. The SSDT-I2C looks fine.

You can also disable XOSI patch and remove SSDT-XOSI.aml as your DSDT is already patched with windows 10 emulation.

In addition, you can also direct edit TPD0 _CRS method directly unto your DSDT and totally eliminate the use of I2C SSDT and its related clover hot patching for ease.

gish94 · August 31, 2019

changing "TPD0 _CRS " hex keys also takes effect on my keyboard.

I don't know why my clover generated DSDT with I2C0 but even in IORegistryExplorer I can see that TPD0 is under I2C1 scope I can even see correct model name "ELAN2301"

[ref]gish94[/ref], doesnt make any sense ioreg is showing differently from acpi table found in your patched/origin folder. Can you extract fresh acpi tables and upload. Press F4 or Fn+F4 at clover bootloader.

I personally avoid installing third party kexts in L/E. Moreover, in BOTH locations for same kexts.

What is your plist setting for "Inject Kext"?

https://imgur.com/LvfAXgv

If you still keep kexts in L/E, the setting should be set as "Detect" if my memory still serves me well.

before, my default setting is "detect"

but since my laptop only can "booting with injected kext" on clover, i change the setting to "yes"

so, should i remove the same kext on L/E, since i already placed the same ones on clover?

so, should i remove the same kext on L/E, since i already placed the same ones on clover?

Its the most preferred way to remove 3rd party kexts from L/E.

Once kexts are removed from L/E, rebuild cache & permissions or run kext utility app before rebooting. Else, you will face kernel panic.

Make a backup of your EFI folder. Then, boot only with attached plist and DSDT. Remove all other SSDT and DSDT in patched folder.

Extract new sendme.

i already remove third party kext from L/E, rebuild cache, than rebooting normally, still the sound not work

i forgot to say that i used new config.plist (from rehabman intel h620 config) because previous config.list seems not work with virtualsmc

can you check my config.plist? may be something work with audio device

here is my sendme file

[ref]aryaone[/ref], Remove VoodooHDA kext. AppleALC kext + correct layout id is a better option for most cases.

Note: Ensure that you have untouched or unmodified AppleHDA kext when using AppleALC.

On a I2C related note, your trackpad is running on polling mode. Implement interrupt mode which is more desirable.

sorry didn't get it, just booted with your files, and again my keyboard stoped working. Can't do anything without keyboard, I have no USB keyboard right now.

onemanosx · September 1, 2019

I have no USB keyboard right now.

Thats too bad.

Can you try boot my DSDT with this plist? config.plist.zip

gish94 · September 1, 2019

Still no keyboard and touchpad

onemanosx · September 1, 2019

[ref]gish94[/ref], I am narrowing down to the keyboard issue before proceeding further.

Can you try these files?

okay, i will remove voodooHDA, and copy the original appleHDA.kext from installer to make sure.

i2c trackpad and touchscreen already working well since i used smcbatterymanagement kext. before i already try your modified DSDT that implement interrupt mode, but still jumpy with acpibatterymanagement

[ref]gish94[/ref], This is the first time I try to work with a XiaoMi notebook. Very strange config, but I am glad we managed to get it to work.
