Any chance of getting external monitor support?

[DottiestDuke47]

Getting external monitor support will basically make this the ultimate laptop for me so is there any workarounds i can use?

[leon0410898]

There are two ways to get external display work. 1.You can change your platform-id to 8a520000. However , this will cause black screen after your laptop wake from sleep. 2.Another way is connecting to an egpu. Get egpu to output to an external display.
I'm still looking for the solution to this problem.

[DottiestDuke47]

also, when after making a boot disk with gibmacos, I copied over your EFI folder, but it comes with a Blocked symbol when trying to boot, I tried adding verbose and it says this platform was not supported, and when I added no_compat_check, it just rebooted 3 seconds after set console end. I have a XPS 13 9300 with I7 1065G7, am I missing something?

Ah sorry my bad, for some reason Mojave and Catalina sounded the same in my head... Made a fresh USB with Catalina and it boots to setup :)

[DottiestDuke47]

Also 2 other bugs that I have noticed, the screen brightness is unusually low and occasionally after sleep, the backlight does not light up. I havnt changed the platform ID nor have I got the 4K model so i'm not sure why this happens

[leon0410898]

i've mentioned in the known issue.

[leon0410898]

However, i've found the solution resently. You can download applebacklightsmoother and place it in the kext folder.

[DottiestDuke47]

Thanks, not sure if it was just me but there was a weird right click bug i had too but i fixed that by turning off force touch in trackpad settings. Is a thunderbolt hot plug fix possible using SSDT's or flashing another TB controller firmware?

Any updates on the Big Sur version, or any updates on the stability of the Hackintosh in general?

[psanikos]

Hello and thanks for your work on this project ! Did you manage to use an external monitor with 8a520000 platform id ; I tried with that and the system just kept rebooting ..

[leon0410898]

make sure you are using little endian byte order. If still not work, please upload your config. I'll take a look at it.

I'll update Big Sur version today.

Hello and thanks for your work on this project ! Did you manage to use an external monitor with 8a520000 platform id ; I tried with that and the system just kept rebooting ..

Hey I was using the Hackintosh Tool to convert that 8a520000... you can try that AABSig== is 8a520000

AAPL,ig-platform-id

<data>AABSig==</data>

[DottiestDuke47]

Hello and thanks for your work on this project ! Did you manage to use an external monitor with 8a520000 platform id ; I tried with that and the system just kept rebooting ..

Use platform id = 0000528a

You split the id into 2s, and wrote it backward.

I've found an issue with using the device-id solution in Big Sur, it just kernel panics and reboots

Also the cursor is sometimes garbled, and I have to close and open lid to fix it.

[psanikos]

It didnt work for me too also the brightness is low ( maxes out at about 60-70%) with the posted efi folder but with the vanilla open core installation the brightness is at 100%

I think for now I'll be reinstalling windows as there are just too many bugs that make this hackintosh unusable for me. These include:

• Spotty wifi connection
• Battery Life (I did disable CFG-Lock but its still bad about 4 Hours)
• No HDMI out on Big Sur
• No TB3 Hotplug
• Graphics glitches that include:
  • Garbled cursor
  • OEM Dell screen after sleep
• System performance hit (Cinebench windows=2000 Cinebench Mac= 1400)
• Various other ice-lake specific bugs and overall instability

I hope that these get fixed over time, so I'll be keeping an eye for now, (If it gets good enough ill be reinstalling macOS) but since I have another dell AIO (Inspiron 23) computer, I'll be using that as my Hackintosh, and my laptop will have to be windows (Would be linux but programs like fusion 360 do not work on linux)

Thanks for your help, @leon0410898.

[psanikos]

If you like to keep the mac os but have windows on the laptop like I do I installed mac os without an issue on a external nvme drive so I can just connect it every time I want . I had no issues with the installation and performance is pretty much the same .

[DottiestDuke47]

Good idea, I may end up going for that instead..., I'll keep a copy installed and updated, and when It's good enough, I'll clone it over to the internal drive.

[psanikos]

Yes sadly it's not yet stable for every day usage...

wifi->My wifi works fine. You can update your airportitlwm to the newest alpha version. Maybe the problem will be solved. battery life-> Yes, battery drain fast. HDMI->I've tested before. platform-id 8a520000 works fine for me. TB3 hotplug->seems no hope. grphics glitches -> don't press keyboard when your laptop black screen on start. dell logo after sleep->make sure that you have followed the bios setting. Disabled all sign of life settings in bios. system performance-> I'll update 'voltageshift' tutorial recently. After overclock, macos can perform as well as windows.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm quite busy recently. As you can see, the experience of macos is still not perfect. That's why i"ll create this repo. I hope more people can join this project and make it better.

[psanikos]

I didn’t do the voltage shift and the battery is fine I am getting about 4.5 - 5 hours while coding on Xcode which I have no complains . I too have issues with the WiFi. It fails to connect to a network but after some tries it does and then it works fine (1.1 Kext version ) , sleep works fine . My issues are the sound Which has notable glitches and the external monitor. I still cannot use external monitor neither on Catalina nor on big sur . I use a usb c to HDMI cable to a 4K monitor and as it connects both monitors are full of artifacts...

[leon0410898]

sound has notable glitches -> speakers or headphone? HDMI->seems still no solution for current platform-id now.

[psanikos]

On external speakers there are some glitches on the internal the sound sounds more like a mono speaker not a stereo it’s a lot worse than on windows

[leon0410898]

you can scroll the balance bar to see whether your speakers are working or not. For external speaker, I have some problem, too. I can't adjust the volume, but it sounds fine.

[psanikos]

They are both working but when playing a video or something like that it sounds like it covers only some part of the sound spectrum ... also when making a video call the microphone sounds noisy

[psanikos]

Also only on Skype calls from what I have see there are some random freezes for a couple of seconds during the call . In everything else it’s working great

[leon0410898]

Have you removed fakepciid?

[psanikos]

No I used the efi folder as it is I only used the Kext for the WiFi and I generated serial number etc setting it as MacBook Air 9,1 using open core configurator

[psanikos]

any update on using 4k external monitor on Big Sur ?

[wzygadlo]

@leon0410898 can you please provide some details on how did you do that

system performance-> I'll update 'voltageshift' tutorial recently. After overclock, macos can perform as well as windows.

Thank you in advance

[Yefee]

External monitor support is greatly appreciated!

[DottiestDuke47]

any updates in this project, keen to get macOS running smooth and stable @leon0410898.?

[DottiestDuke47]

Issue so is stale and mostly addressed so closing.
