some issues after test

[snowadieu]

Hello! Recently i m interested in hackintosh and I have used your EFI config today. Thanks your files for removing so much troubles!

Here is some issues after using your files:

1. The progress bar when booting at 1/3 still remains a flash stripe screen many apples. It seems have no affect on the system, which i guess it relates to the .kext loading.Also, the phenomenon also appears at the progress of shut down.

2. CAPS LOCK key sometimes fails to react. It mainly appears the first time you want to input a text.If you do not pay attention to press the key, the small light on CAPS LOCK key will not shine. However, if press more precisely ,the key will be activated.

3. Multi-gesture touchpad zooming is less sensitive. I m right handed. A more comfortable way to use PC is touchpad-left hand and mouse-right hand .Its different by zooming with different fingers, sometimes not sensitive....

4. In login progress, mouse remains still in a few second When i was ready to input password, the mouse cursor first remained at top left and then moved normally after about 4-seconds-stuck. : ) Anyway, lucky to find your file, hope to makes mac perfect!

Upload your efi folder, and what specs is your computer?

• CAPS LOCK key sometimes fails to react. It mainly appears the first time you want to input a text.If you do not pay attention to press the key, the small light on CAPS LOCK key will not shine. However, if press more precisely ,the key will be activated.

This is an issue with VoodooPS2Controller.kext. See here https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/514

Try using VoodooI2C. That brings native gestures but I have't implemented in the guide because it causes Kernel Panic using VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C.

OK... I tried a few times... I just copied your 'EFI' files to replace my original files completely. My computer specs: GS65-9SE CPU: Core i7-9750H GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 2060; UHD 630 screen: 15.6" Full HD （1920x1080），144 Hz CHIPSET: HM370

Maybe basically the same as yours.

About CAPS LOCK: I tried use VoodooPS2Controller-2.0.3-RELEASE as https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/514 related. It seems worse that although flash ON-OFF phenomenon disappeared the key became dull when I Press twice quickly. Maybe, I should wait for a fixed 2.0.4 edition updated.

About Voodool2C: I tried to get the 2.2 edition of https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2C/releases. And I copied VoodooI2C.kext, VoodooI2CELAN.kext, VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext into kext document of EFI. It works, and touchpad became flexibly. However, it seems affect the sound settings that system could not find sound output or input.

So.. I returned to your file...It seems to be better! LOL : )

PS: SteelSeries has software for external devices under Mac system.steelseries.com/engine I tried, but it does not recognize the built-in keyboard, which I guess that it also related to driver config. If there is a config to disguise the built-in keyboard as a USB interface, it may work as if it were under Windows. :0

Nevermind, I still get this issue unfortunately, but I can't seem to find a fix so it's a no go for now.

It shouldn't of interfered with the audio/

Unfortunately SteelSeries does not support MSI laptop keyboard on macOS or Linux. You will have to use this application I created to control your RGB keyboard: https://github.com/ErrorErrorError/SSKeyboardHue . It's still in development but so far you're able to change the color of the keyboard.

OK.. I just replaced 2.2 edition to 2.1.6 edition, it works and do not affect the audio. After test, it seems not much better than before... :0 https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2C/releases/tag/2.1.6

Awesome! However, i have no idea about how to use it. :p I have copied into terminal, then Mac began to download xcode supporting files, finally nothing happens. :D

@snowadieu you open the .xworkspace file to open up xcode and you run the app

Hi..I tried more... I heard from some websites to match the HorizontalSyncPulseWidth number to fix the 8 'fruits' flash problem clover configurator but failed... An other issue i found is that if I changed macbook type on clover configurator, the keyboard will fail... I found your file containing a NoTouchID.kext，however it seems cant solve the jam when login. Anyway, Thanks! ：）

[ErrorErrorError]

@snowadieu why you need to change the macbookpro type? It's specifically on macbookpro15'2 since that's the most compatible version with an intel uhd 630. Unless if you have another cpu (other than 8750h) you shouldn't be changing the macbook type.

I don't recommend using clover configurator since it may corrupt your config.plist file.

Also, I don't have a fix for freezing before logging in.

[snowadieu]

Oh...Thanks! I want change the type because my CPU is 9750H( also UHD 630). I thought it wound be helpful for Turbo or other CPU settings. I guess 9750H is similar to 8750H. Actually, I found accidentally if delete the whole ACPI folder in EFI files. The login process will not happen the jam. I guess it will influence other settings. Oh.... I just tested the SSKeyboardHue, it can run successfully in my PC.And the settings will be changed if I returned to windows. HAHA XD

@snowadieu if you'd like to modify cpu settings I would suggest to read about this kext https://github.com/acidanthera/CPUFriend

Also, to fix the boot glitch, try adding gfxrst=1 in your boot arguments.

Yeahhhh, steelseries resets the preset as soon as you start SteelSeries engine, I am working on to improve that issue though.
