[Guide] Laptop Battery Indicator - The DSDT Patching Horror

[Wizzard]

That was my first dump without any patches, I will upload my actual later today. Thanks much.

[Wizzard]

This is my current dump. I dont know where is my patched DSDT, because I would swear that I have copied it yesterday

Send me MacBook.zip

[onemanosx]

[ref]Wizzard[/ref], place DSDT in clover/acpi/patched folder. Reboot and generate new send_me.

Thank you very much, it still shows 0 percent, but at least it seems that since upgrading to 10.14.4 the computer is not so hot like before.

[ref]Wizzard[/ref], try rebuild cache and permissions. Battery is detected well as per shown in ioreg though.

Tried that in Kext Updater, but it does not seem to help

[onemanosx]

[ref]Wizzard[/ref], Sorry, cant help further.Try to google for solutions. Anyway, is your trackpad working? Never seen some of those weird kexts you had for i2C device.

[Wizzard]

Okay, thank you anyway. Nope, trackpad does not work. Why weird kexts?

[ford2201]

onemanosx, [bat] -->Battery Patches. where lenovo G570 how to DSDT

do custom patch if there is no lenovo g570.

Upload your dsdt.aml

Why weird kexts?

No idea what VoodooI2CAtmelMXT.kext does. You should read I2C documentation and determine if your device is Elan, FTE, HID or Synaptics - https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2C

Try my last attempt for your working battery

I dont remember where I got all those kexts, I think I was recommended it on some forum and so downloaded it

I think my touchpad should be SYNA3602, according to some gyus having the same or similar notebook. So I deleted all the Voodoo kexts except Synaptics, but still not working. I think that this touchpad is very unsupported still.

Thank you very much for another DSDT, but it still shows 0 percent. I must try to patch it myself. I just get the errors like "Capacity read zero" in dmesg.

[onemanosx]

dmesg

you can try using other versions of acpibattery kexts. Gd luck.

[Wizzard]

Do you think that older version of ACPI BatteryManager would be better?

[Wizzard]

Okay, I think I found a part of the solution on a competitive forum and it looks like this:

 

Name (BPKG, Package (0x0D)
                   {
                       Zero, 
                       Ones, 
                       Ones, 
                       One, 
                       0x2710, // this is what I have to edit, original was "Ones", I replaced it by 7200, 5000 or 1000
                       Zero, 
                       Zero, 
                       0x64, 
                       Zero, 
                       "SR Real Battery", 
                       "OneManOSX", 
                       "Real", 
                       "Intel SR 1"
                   })

 

So now I can see non-zero percentage of battery! Just the percentage is higher than the one in Linux and Windows. So maybe I should find the right number (I dont know how to find it out yet). My battery has the capacity of 5000 mAh, so I would guess that number would be 5000, but I dont know.

edit: and also the percentage in a status bar does not change as the battery discharges.
