A few remaining issues

[hminhquan2002]

Dear kalkman,

First of all, I want to say thank you for all of your hard work in order to research and share your efi build with us. I just want to ask if you know any information about my remaining issues, or lucky some solution for them.

I have successfully installed a hackintosh on Acer Nitro 5 ANA-45 Ryzen 5 5600H. I've followed these guides to install: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/prerequisites.html https://chefkissinc.github.io/nred https://github.com/kalkmann/Legion-5600H-Hackintosh (your guide for kexts and caveats) (With few issues: DRM, hardware decoder/encoder accelerate and others are known nootedred bugs)

For DRM and hardware decoder, I use those command lines listed at the end of this guide but it can only fix them partially https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Chart.md

So I have a few questions regarding other problems which I haven't resolved yet

1. The USB 3.0 port stopped working and the backlight flashed randomly on macintosh boot
2. Long sleep time and then wake will cause the built-in monitor won't turn on
3. Imessages doesn't work with ethernet (cause I don't have a suitable wifi card) I wonder if you have encountered the same bugs and thanks for your support

Share your efi and complete hardware specs 👍

Here is my efi folder EFI.zip I also used some command line as follow: sudo pmset autopoweroff 0 sudo pmset powernap 0 sudo pmset standby 0 sudo pmset proximitywake 0 sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0

My laptop specs: https://nanoreview.net/en/laptop/acer-nitro-5-an515-45 (Ryzen 5 5600H, GTX 1650M 4G, 8G of RAM)

I understood. you use nootedred with only integrated. unfortunately I don't have any experience with similar systems. but you will find many repositories here on git that use the integrated with nvidia disabled. I believe that most of your problems are related to this specific type of setup, in addition to the absence of Intel WiFi.

good luck in your build!

Alright, thank you for spending time

Update 31/03: fixed 1&2 using amdtscsync.kext complied with latest commits. 3 needs to call apple customer service. No more unknown issues and causes, hope everyone get good hacks

Here, no luck with amdtscsync.kext with sleep. Great that you solved yours!

I accidentally deleted your last comment (old people do shit!) Please repost so I can test the kext you mentioned. Thanks!

[kalkmann]

Yes, here, this new kext worked too (I think it's another new variant of cputscsync, not amdtscsync), I'm testing it on 14.4.1, it goes to sleep and comes back (but I still have to use the SSDT to turn off my USB ports to sleep).

I found the post from CorpGhost you mentioned: https://discord.com/channels/249992304503291905/263798638373896203/1223854953672736788

Now I'm going to connect the 4K monitor to the HDMI port to see if I'll suffer the same freezes in heavy GPU load (it was probably TSC/DGPU related).

Thank you very much for your discoveries!

With this new kext and connected to 4K external monitor, experienced a freeze before enter sleep, with only FCP and Chrome openned.

it was the same kext I was using, from Seey6's
