---

Not Working?

• Nvidia Geforce 930M (Optimus Tech) not supported by hackintosh.

---

Bugs?

• in Monterey only one side, Airdrop/Handoff/Continuity from Hackintosh to iPhone doesn't work, but iPhone to Hackintosh is work, because Apple has been actively working on the Bluetooth stack (bluetoothd) in macOS Monterey, see issues.
• This laptop just have single antenna connector, lol. For pairing bluetooth in chipset DW1550 need dual antenna connectors, so maybe work sometimes not work.
• Sidecar won't showing in System Preferences since this patch.

---

Not Tested?

• Sidecar
• Universal Control
• Card Reader

Notes

1. Don't use my patch DSDT.aml & SSDT.aml if you have different ACPI Tables / BIOS Version & Model / Freq CPU PM.
2. Don't install Monterey if you have chipset Atheros, because Apple fully dropped for Atheros on Monterey. Just install Big Sur and replace the kexts (AirportBrcm*.kext + Brcm*.kext) -> (HS80211Family.kext + Ath3kBT.kext) take it from here.
3. I haven't idea for battery when using OC, because so many rename methods in device EC0/BAT0, when rename method battery and landing to SSDT-BATT.aml, the indicator only show to 1%.
4. Config OC for Catalina and older, set (MinDate = -1) & (MinVersion = -1) in 'UEFI' -> 'APFS' section, and take from the release page.

5. For 10.11-11 you need BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, for 12 (Monterey) you need BluetoolFixup.kext, choose one and not both.
6. You need regenerate serial number for your mac, use Clover/OC Configurator or macserial from OC.
7. And many more apps.
