Not working on OC for HP Laptop

ivnnv commented 3 years ago

Hi, First of all thanks for this contribution, if this finally fixes almost any laptop battery, that would be a great accomplishment for the Hackintosh community.

Im trying to use the text on OC 0.6.8 MacOS 10.15.7. I have copied the kext into EFI/OC/Kext. Created the entry at config.plist's Kernel > Add

<dict>
    <key>Comment</key>
    <string></string>
    <key>MaxKernel</key>
    <string></string>
    <key>PlistPath</key>
    <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
    <key>Enabled</key>
    <true/>
    <key>MinKernel</key>
    <string></string>
    <key>ExecutablePath</key>
    <string>Contents/MacOS/ECEnabler</string>
    <key>Arch</key>
    <string>Any</string>
    <key>BundlePath</key>
    <string>ECEnabler.kext</string>
</dict>

But it seems is not working. I it is not showing on Hackintools loaded kexts and neither the battery indicator shows in the menubar.

Am I missing something? How can I send you more information for debugging the issue?

This relies on Lilu, and I think I set the minimum version to 1.4.9. If this doesn't work, can you please send a log from OC?

ivnnv commented 3 years ago

Im on Lilu 1.5.2 and this is the OC log:

Hrmm, do you have the battery device appearing in IOReg? Mind sending the DSDT I guess?

Edit: make sure you have either SMCBatteryManager or ACPIBatteryManager as well

Here on a HP CE2072NL laptop - repo here - it works flawlessly

@1Revenger1, that was it! Once I added SMCBatteryManager.kext and added the entry on OC's config. BOOM! Battery works!!!

This is amazing, please provide a donation link or something because as I developer, I really appreciate this engineering work.

This issue can be closed now. Version 1.0 of this plugin already works like a charm 👍🏽

I try to not taking donations out of principle, I like doing this in my free time and I expect nothing out of it. I appreciate the gesture though 👍

Glad to hear it working though!
