@samarth05 what kind of changes are you referring to?

Btw I have fixed almost everything except for battery percentage. Can you please help me with that. I am including my efi folder here for your reference.

EFI FOLDER

Use the following link to configure your system's SMBIOS correctly (The tutorial is old but good enough to follow) -

https://www.tonycrapx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-configure-your-systems-smbios-correctly.198155/ 

I have already semi-configured the system definition in config.plist and just generate new serial number and rt variables.

Go to System Preferences->Energy Saver->Check Show battery status in menu bar.

If the battery is not charging fully upto 100%, then probably you have Conservation Mode 'ON' in Lenovo Vantage App in Windows.

Thanks for your help. I tried using your EFI after configuring config.plise but when I tried to boot it was stuck on 

RTCFX: @ failed to load rtc-blacklist from UEFI nvram

RTC: Only single RAM bank(128 bytes)

Does it have something to do with my system having 8 gb Ram compared to yours having 16?

I have enclosed the pic of the error I got.

Edit:

I used my DSDT in ACPI and kept rest of the EFI same and everything started to work properly. And also  your EFI helped me to fix my battery percentage. Thanks @samarth05

I think this has to do with RTCMemoryFixup.kext. 

That's alright, you got the hackintosh working perfectly. Enjoy!

That's perfect. Worked like a charm. Everything is fine except LAN and WIFI. Unable to connect to internet. Is there any kext files which will help to connect internet? 

Also touch pad is having some issues. It is lagging when i try to move the curser. Also left and right click is not working

Thank you for sharing the EFI folder! Could you be a little bit more specific about what to add/change in the config.plist file?

Thanks

To get the Apple Applications working, you need to add system parameters like serial number, etc. You can do these with tutorials all over the internet. I cannot post an external link here. Make a google search and then you can easily find a tutorial to do it.

Also, please don't fully quote the OP from next time.

Hi, does sleep work for you? For me, click on sleep will just get me to the login screen, and closing the lid does put the laptop to sleep, but opening the lid to power the laptop back leaves me with a black screen. I have to force shut it down to be able to use it again.

It sometimes happened when I used Clover but now I use OpenCore and haven't had any sleep issues yet.

Posting the new EFI for Big Sur Beta 2 soon (Will work on Catalina too)..?

Nice, can't wait to test it out! This gets more stable for me by every update, and now I also got my Intel WiFi(switched from qca) to work!

UPDATE (22/07/2020) :

- Edited the OP and made it cleaner.

- Added OpenCore EFI Folders for macOS Catalina and Big Sur.

- Added ApfsDriverLoader.efi to macOS Mojave EFI Folder.

CHECK THE OP FOR MORE DETAILS.

At last, I think this is very fine to use as my main OS from now on as with the latest OC EFI I did finally manage to get itlwm working, though I still have one unfortunate problem: sleep still doesn't work for me(or at least the only time I tried it didn't work). Does this have to do something with the motherboard or something else? My laptop model is 81BF, I don't get what's wrong. Also, sometimes on clover after I shut down my laptop for a night and turned it on in the morning it would not boot for whatever reason. I have OpenCore doesn't have this issue.

Other than that, thank you for you work and efforts to make Mac possible on this laptop!

(if only I could get sleep to work...)

Update: I figured out how to make sleep work, you have to choose sleep, and when the screen turns off close the lid. Sleep works that way, but when I turn it back on it's much slower and curiously no CPU info is loaded into Intel Power Gadget.

Try HibernationFixup.kext, maybe it might solve the issue. It's included in the OpenCore EFI. Or just switch to OpenCore as it is more stable.

I am using OpenCore, so I think the only solution would be custom patches maybe.

I never had a problem with sleep when using OpenCore. Did you try the HibernationFixup.kext? Maybe it might help you with Catalina too.
