I'd been working on this computer since of the beginning of 2014 and I can say that OS X can be stable on it with El Capitan 10.11.4 :D
 

What I've done :
- replaced optical drive with an SSD 
- replaced the AR9485 with the BCM94352 

Working :

 

- Intel i7-4700HQ (near all P-States)

- Intel HD 4600 with native screen resolution and gfx acceleration (1)

- Sound - Realtek ALC668 (2)

- Sleep (I only checked by closing the lid)

- USB2 & USB3 (3)

- Ethernet

- WLAN with BCM94352 (4)

- Bluetooth (4)

- Elan touchpad 

- Keyboard

- Battery (about 2h30 but my computer is near 3 years old)

- Touchscreen 

- Webcam

 

 

Not Working :

- Nvidia Geforce 750M (disable by DSDT because the card is not connected to the screen or external ports)

- SD Card reader (no drivers but passthought with VMware Fusion and Windows is working)

 

 

Not checked :

- sound on HDMI

- Bluetooth Handoff (should be working)

 

 

(1) HD 4600

Glitch at boot 

Glitch on install : close and open the lid

Glitch on external display connection : close and open the lid or put the computer to sleep

Brightness is working

 

(2) Sound

Configured AppleHDA but quality was not so good : VoodooHDA 2.8.8 + little mods of the plist work much better

There is no sound from internal speaker is you reboot from Windows or shutdown with fastboot enabled.  -> can be fixed with codec Commander (if you choose to use appleHDA)

 

(3) USB

USB 2 & 3 working 

All the ports are redirected to the XHCI drivers 
EHCI is never used

USB2 ports : 3 external ports + USB Card reader + USB Webcam + USB Touchscreen

USB3 ports : 3 external ports

 

(4) WLAN

5 ghz working with clover patch 

bluetooth works most of the time but sometimes the firmware upload fails and you have to restart

 

Note : config.plist is not completed. You have to add the serial number to get iCloud, iMessage, etc.. to work. I cannot share mines. Looks for TODO in the plist.

 

Installation process :

1 - prepare OS X installer (Vanilla)

2 - install Clover EFI and use my clover folder (config + dsdt + kexts..)

3 - after installation, install BrcmFirmwareRepo and patchRam2 + VoodooHDA on /S/L/E

 

 

TO DO :

- clean DSDT

- switch to AppleHDA (headphone jack doesn't work well)

- bios patch to enable Haswell Lake Tiny

 

 

A big thanks to all the people who have worked on it, like amokk - he has done most of work. 

I'm not the creator of the kexts or dsdt patch I used. We have to thank :

- Rehabman

- PikerAlpha

- EMlyDinEsH

- slice

- Mieze

- and all the others
