Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2014 for sound try voodoohda 2.8.4 or 2.8.5, for ethernet if you used generic myhack you can run lspci -nn command in terminal for a list of your devices then find a suitable kext for it.. if wifi is intel then it needs to be replaced. for brightness you might need pnlf device added to dsdt. but chameleon also has a flag for backlight you can try. use chameleon wizard app if you need to make any customization to your smbios or boot plist.

bobdamnit Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Try this DSDT. It should fix brightness, brightness keys, and maybe sleep. All I did was apply the rename GFX0 to IGPU and apply the brightness fix to your stock DSDT If this doesn't fix sleep, I'll inject your IMEI info into GFX0/IGPU and that should fix it. Place it in /Extra and reboot. If, by some chance, it causes a kernel panic or causes your system to stop booting to Mavericks, at the Chameleon prompt, the following flag will drop that DSDT: DSDT=0. This will at least let you boot without a DSDT and get back into Mavericks. DSDT.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
