Dell Inspiron 3x37-5x37-7x37 Clover Installation

[praestolatio]

Hey guys.

 

Yesterday I installed Yosemite on my Dell Inspiron 5437 and found some problems and solutions I'd like to share with you.

 

Step 3b: createinstallmedia is working fine with the final version of Yosemite.

 

- Download Yosemite Install app from AppStore.

- Launch terminal and run the following script:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

Step 16: After applying the first patch on DSDT.dsl and compiling, I got the usual "syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_ZERO" errors, but I also got two "syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_IF" errors.

 

This is what I did to solve this:

 

- Firstly, I took care of the "Zero" errors. After that, there was only one PARSEOP_IF error left.

 

- Then I checked the code and saw that a closing brace was missing:

    Scope (\)
    {
        Method (WMIA, 1, NotSerialized)
        {
            
            // nothing

    }

- I added the missing brace:

    Scope (\)
    {
        Method (WMIA, 1, NotSerialized)
        {
            
            // nothing

        }
    }

And the PARSEOP_IF error was gone.

 

 

I'd like to thank pokenguyen and everyone who made it possible for us to install OS X on our non-Mac computers.

Installed Yosemite on my dell 7537 

Lost normal function Fn keyboard (Brightness adjust go crazy when i pressed F11 or F12) 

HDMI out - freeze

Trackpad - no tap, only click and double click

Camera doesn't work (so as in Mavericks)

 

P.S. how to remap keyboard ?

Yes, i do. But not all.

For fix Fn keyboard and Brightness issue  you need additional DSDT patches for Yosemite to set the oem-table-id.

Code example:

into method label _DSM parent_label PS2K remove_entry;
into device label PS2K insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "RM,oem-id", "DELL",\n
        "RM,oem-table-id", "HSW-LPT",\n
    })\n
}\n
end;

Where oem-id and oem-table-id value(s) depends on your DSDT header.

As far as trackpad, make sure you have a appropriate drivers and settings in SysPrefs->Trackpad.

 

Yosemite issue:

HDMI out - FREEZE

WebCam - doesn't work (I think nobody get her ENABLE  )

Also sometimes i hear some sound - maybe its work antipop ?
