Request - Matebook X Pro 2019 support #27

Open mtimms1980 opened 2 years ago

mtimms1980 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I am keen to try out your work but from past experience projects that support the 2018 model do not support the 2019 model well.

I am currently using an "other" projects EFI, but would like to give yours a go, is there any scope for 2019 support? I have an i5-8265U model.

Thanks for your work either way.

tlefko commented 2 years ago

@mtimms1980 I would recommend you try this out, it is likely to work given it is just a CPU model change.

Hi @mtimms1980 I remember seeing the following repos when I was working on this project https://github.com/laozhiang/MateBook_13_14_XPro-Hackintosh https://github.com/ske1996/Matebook-x-pro-2019-Hackintosh-newest

Hey @mtimms1980 , Have you ever managed to get it working? I have been trying to build an efi from scratch using the old repositories as inspiration for over 2 weeks but whatever I try it always ends up in either a boot loop or a kernel panic. I am now trying to use the 2.17 version on our MBX Pro 2019 and have made some changes, but I still end up with a kernel panic. If I somehow do manage to get it working though I will upload the refi folder for others to use! Please let me know if you are still trying. Also thank you @tlefko and @gnodipac886, you both have been a great help and a source of my inspiration.

Lukas3118 commented 1 year ago

I don't know why now of all times but I managed to get it booting, I'll do some cleaning up and will upload the EFI for anyone with the 2019 model who wants to boot it! I will also test Monterey update now.

Lukas3118 commented 1 year ago

Here is the efi folder that works for our matebook x pro 2019 (i5 8265u and UHD620). It is essentially the same efi as @tlefko made but with ACPI patches for our model (by @ske1996) and dsdt by profzei (when he made an efi folder for our model). It boots Monterey perfectly and I have had no issues so far. I upgraded OpenCore to 0.8.7 so you can update to Ventura whenever you want, I personally haven't done that yet. All the serial stuff has been removed btw so you need to inject your own.

This is great! Thanks for doing this and making your work available here.

I'll try this as soon as possible, can't wait to see how it runs. How are you finding battery life?

Lukas3118 commented 1 year ago

I tested battery life today and it was not great lol. I managed to squeeze a bit more than 4 hours of watching my college lectures with bluetooth headphones on and screen brightness on 65%.

This is comparable to my battery life on Windows 11 (I had to downgrade back to Windows 10 because the battery life was abysmal for Windows). Let me know how much you can squeeze out of it because my battery life has degraded by 15% already, your results may differ.

For reference, I can get 7/8 hours on windows 10.

tlefko commented 1 year ago

Hey Lucas, in the configuration I really favourite performance, however if you’d like I can send you a release that prioritizes battery saving more and give us significantly better battery. My laptop is quite old and the battery is poor as it is, and the thermals really struggle hence that configuration. Simply changing the aggressiveness of the CPU clock certainly improves battery and in most cases does not affect performance.

Hey tlefko, I would be happy to try out your other release, thank you very much for continuing this work! Is the cpu clock aggressiveness changed in the config.plist?

Hi, I believe I have the same model as you (MACHR-WX9?) and I have tried putting your EFI in via Clover configurator, however booting from USB gives me the crossed out sign, which I believe is due to not finding bootable media. Do you have any advice? I'd love to get this up and running.

0xTides commented 1 year ago

@Lukas3118 managed to get your EFI working and now i'm running Monterey. Really nice! So thanks for that. I'm wonderinf if you'd had any luck with a ventura version?

tlefko commented 1 year ago

@Lukas3118 hey Lucas, thanks for the amazing work and I’m glad it’s working out for you guys @mtimms1980 @0xTides. This EFI should boot ventura, but you may need to modify the kexts and config in your own EFI to Match what was updated for ventura.

Also, I wanted to say if you were interested You are more than welcome to create a request for a pull and have a complete matebook pro 2019 repo. Or, I can implement your EFis onto the releases, and make this repository for both MBXP 19 and MBXP 18 (with proper credits of course) and we can support both here going forward. Potentially, I was thinking we enable support for 2020 and just become the Macbook X pro repo

Lukas3118 commented 1 year ago

@0xTides I sincerely apologise for not responding to your message, I coincidentally checked my mail today and saw that the discussion was ongoing. As @tlefko said, all you have to do is modify the kexts to update to ventura, the EFI is the same as his, and since he got it working, I wouldn't see why you couldn't.

@tlefko It would be best to implement my EFI in your repository, it will make it easier to find for people with our laptop. I would not be able to run an entire repository by myself, since my skills are very limited. You also don't have to give me credits, as all the work was yours. I merely altered it a little bit using files from other githubbers :). If we enable support for 2020 this could actually become the largest repository on github, however, we need to find someone with a 2020 Matebook x pro 👍 .

0xTides commented 1 year ago

@tlefko @Lukas3118 Thank you both for coming back to me. Really appreciate it! I'll certainly give updating the kexts a go, and if I can get it working, I'll put it here too.

Big thanks to you both once again, and it'd be awesome to see this as the go-to Matebook Hackintosh repo.

Let's do it haha, I will try to find access to a 2020 machine. Further, I will make the next release an updated Ventura one for MBXP2019 as well if @Lukas3118 wants to send over the Ventura EFI. I'm gonna add in some changes and then from now on publish all releases as 2019 and 2018 together. @0xTides Did you get it working by the way? If not I released some stuff for 2019

Hope you guys like the changes to the repository that I've made going forward!

I've been super busy with work unfortunately so I haven't had the time. If you've added support I'll certainly give it a go and provide some feedback! Really impressed with what you're making this repo into. I'm sure the community will be super appreciative!
