macOS High Sierra 10.13 beta 4 success - minor errors remaining

[hackrmomo]

I used the base of this project to boot into macOS Sierra 10.13 and so far I have about 90% of it working with my current progress displayed here

I don't know if you are willing to work on a beta version of the OS or not but I'd still like some help on getting bluetooth, USB C (display and USB), and the preference pane for the trackpad (never shows up) to work. Is there anything I can provide you with to help?

EDIT: I wanna learn as much as I can from you so I'd also greatly appreciate it if you would describe everything you're attempting to explain.

Please try the latest deploy and it solved the trackpad issue.

Report if the latest VoodooPS2 works.

Thank you, syscl

[hackrmomo]

Like on 10.13? because a lot of things are different which I'm pretty sure your deploy.sh will overwrite. Edit: never mind - just read the latest commit

[syscl]

Just try the latest VoodooPS2 then report.

Thank you, syscl

[hackrmomo]

Works like a charm. All functionality back in preferences pane. Bluetooth works too when replacing newer kext for BcrmFirmwareRepo

[syscl]

So you mean we need a new BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext for 10.13+? I've updated, thank you for pointing out!

Have a good day, syscl

[hackrmomo]

Nope, I somehow had an outdated one. Replacing newest BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext that was available on this git solved BT. Wifi works oob. As a side note: If you want Sound in 10.13 the best method I have found so far is to inject layout id 13 in DSDT and remove all kexts to patch for AppleHDA (since it's now AppleALC + Lilu and AppleHDA compatibility hasn't been added for 10.13)

@mkaa00x I am those who use AppleALC when AppleALC was once released. LayoutID has nothing to do with sound quality. I will try to update my sound driver.

[hackrmomo]

For me - the sound just didn't work at all until I followed Rehab man's instructions and set it to 13. Let me know how it goes.

[syscl]

Give me a few minutes, I manage to update the Resource for audio ...

syscl

[syscl]

@mkaa00x Please try the latest deploy.sh with layout-id = 1, and report the sound work or not.

Thank you in advance, syscl

[syscl]

Please try this version of AppleALC, I optimized the code inside it and made it much faster.

You can use layout-id = 1 or layout-id=13. AppleALC.kext.zip

Hi, sorry, hadn't been on github lately. I tried it out, layout-id=13 is the only one that works for me. Either that or 28. AppleALC.kext that you provided works as flawlessly as before. I haven't tested with my headphones but it fixed a small error where my Audio devices' names would be in a foreign language (I'm assuming it's Singaporean)

[syscl]

Hi, how about layout = 1 with these AppleALC?

syscl

[hackrmomo]

@syscl nope - layout-id=1 didn't work for me.

@mkaa00x Hi I have succeeded with ALC887 on the 10.13 public beta4 with the following:

1. Install latest Lilu and AppleALC under clover
2. Boot Clover with -alcbeta parameter
3. Good luck

I hope it works for your ALC model on the XPS 9350 as well. Please try and feedback if you are interested. Thanks!

Cheers

[hackrmomo]

I've got a working configuration but only if I set layout-id to either 13 (0x0D) or 28 (0x1C)

and I already use those parameters, -lilubeta and -alcbeta
