Now with Big Sur and OpenCore!
The repo is archived because I barely use my hack these days (though I might unarchive it one day and add updates if I get back to it).
Based on Dortania's Guide and my previous Clover hack.
I advise against using my EFI directly, treat it as a reference for creating Your own. Read The Guide, manuals for every kext etc.

- ???
- Combo Jack Headphones+Mic partially (not 100% reliably but I was pretty successful with https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack)
- DRM (not supported on Big Sur yet)
- Ambient Light Sensor
- USB-C/TB3 hotplug (external display over USB-C>HDMI dongle is hotpluggable though)
- SD Card reader (never will iirc)
- Fingerprint (never will)
- HDMI (but USBC works, see notes below)
GTX 1060 version of this laptop has HDMI port wired directly to the Nvidia card, which means there is no way to use it on Mojave+. Instead, You can use e.g. an USB-C (DisplayPort)>HDMI dongle, USB-C docking station, TB3 accessories (not tested).
GTX1050(Ti) versions reportedly have HDMI port connected to iGPU however, so yes You can use it! I don't have means to test it so I won't include config for this in my repo – head over to @lersy instead.

Prebuilt from Dortania's guide:
- SSDT-EC-USBX-LAPTOP.aml
- SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml
- SSDT-PNLF.aml
Custom:
- SSDT-GPI0-VI2C.aml – enables I2C Precision Touchpad (incorporates Dortania's SSDT-GPI0)
- SSDT-HPET.aml – Patch out IRQ Conflicts (done with SSDTTime)
- SSDT-SBUS-MCHC.aml – Enable SMBus (stock Dortania matched my hardware actually)
- SSDT-OCWork-DELL.aml – Enable brightness keys and power LED
Generate Your own SMBIOS.
- Sleep
sudo pmset autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset powernap 0
sudo pmset standby 0
sudo pmset proximitywake 0
execute these commands for safety (see Dortania https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/sleep.html#preparations)
- ComboJack
https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack to enable both headphones and their microphone.
I do not recommend using OpenCore to boot Windows. Injection should probably be disabled for other OSes, but it still may break something. Better to use rEFInd of just BIOS F12.
