For hangup issues, you will probably have to drop CpuSsdt and (or) Cpu0Ist in your config. Something like this
SSDT-5.aml (CpuSsdt) should be removed from patched folder in that case.
Drop OEM is needed if you are using patched aml files.
Your sort order section should match existing files in your patched folder.

You probably would not get proper help until you at least send your config. Ideally send proper problem reporting file.
I can tell you this so far - remove EAPDFix.kext (not needed with lates AppleALC) and FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext (not needed with lates WhateverGreen). You have FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext that you do not need (remove it), but you removed BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext that are actually need for working BT.
For brightness try AppleBacklightFixup.kext. I prefer this one over AppleBacklightInjector.kext (which also need patch in config).

Whatever you do, be sure that you are using latest Clover and kext files. ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi from older Clover versions will not load APFS drivers from 10.14.1 and you will not be able to boot, since conversion to APFS can not be avoided anymore.
If you want smooth update, always update clover and kexts in advance and be sure that everything works. After that update should be painless.
I attached my config with modified serials and latest kexts. If you want to try this, you have to replace complete ACPI/patched folder since I am using "hot patch" ACPI and yours is "static".
Since you have DW1560 I added two kexts that I am not using AirportBrcmFixup.kext and FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext.
Do not add FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext, Shiki.kext nor IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext.
I hope I didn't missed anything.
btw. you can safely update your BIOS to A20.
Edit: if you have model without NV, just remove SSDT-DDGPU.aml from ACPI/patched folder. That's all.

Those are latest stable (non beta) drivers for (probably all) TP-Link USB devices. You will find two archives inside Mac OS X10.13.zip and Mac OS X10.8_10.12.zip. Mac OS X10.13.zip actually works just fine on Mojave too.
I have no idea why they have so many different versions of driver packages on their site. When you start digging, you will find that you have same drivers on download page for several models. For some crazy reason only packages on latest hw versions of some device are updated.
Those are supported TP Link devices:

Tap twice to enable capLock and twice to release.
There is nothing wrong with "just press Caps Lock two times instead of once" approach. I used it myself in the beginning.
Later I came to conclusion that it's probably better to use "press caps once to turn it on, but 3 times to turn it off" instead. As you know, when you press Caps Lock first time case is changed and LED is lit, and that is expected behavior. Problem occurs when you try to turn it off. To accomplish expected behavior (both caps and LED turned off) you need to press that key 3 times. With this approach I have "working" Caps Lock including "proper" LED.

Even with trackpad speed set to maximum in preferences, cursor movement is still too slow for my taste. I need to swipe my finger at least 2 times to accomplish same cursor movement as with one swipe with ApplePS2Controller. Do you have any idea what I could try to change in Info.plist inside trakpad kext?
Apple keyboards do not have those keys, thats not questionable (I have one on my table right now). I am just not sure why those keys are disabled in this kext. They work just fine with ApplePS2Controller. Everyone would benefit with two more working keys. People could change those to anything they want with Karabiner-Elements, but they are currently completely dead. I hope that there is a simple way to enable them by changing Info.plist inside keyboard kext, and that there is no need for code modification.
PtrScr key is mapped to Shit+Command+4 and Insert is mapped to Home with ApplePS2Controller, but I would be satisfied with any two codes that Karabiner could see.

Remove AppleBacklightInjector.kext, but you do not have to remove patch from config right away. Just check Disable checkbox for start, so you can revert it back if you have any problem with AppleBacklightFixup.kext. When you see that everything works, you can remove it completely.
I never had any problem with battery indicator. Inject Kext is on Detect in all my configs.

On the other hand, the kext, as previously compiled, works without issues on my E6220, E6230 or E6440 under Mojave. I've not had to use a Mojave-compiled version.
I honestly envy you now. I actually like this driver the most of all that I tried, but it doesn't work as expected on my system. I have few questions.
1. Can you please confirm that you do not have any problem with caps lock LED? On my system, once LED is turned on (first time when I press caps lock), it can't be turned off. It's very annoying when I do not know if my caps is turned on or not.
2. Is there a way to make cursor moving faster? It's too slow for my taste. It's almost twice slower than with ApplePS2Controller. Can I change anything in plist to make it faster?
3. Is there any way to make PrtScr and Insert keys to work? I need those two keys, but they are dead on my system. Karbiner EventViewer doesn't register a keystroke when I press any of them. I am using VI editor a lot on linux servers so I absolutely need this key. I am using PrtScr to initiate a screenshot with Karabiner complex modification. Can I activate those dead keys with some change in plist or code change + recompile is needed?
4. How can I find my APLS version?
5, Does any complex gesture works for you? For example, 4 finger gesture like Pinch to restore.
EDIT:
I have v7 version.

For me, ApplePS2Controller.kext actually works best of all mentioned ones. Your system will treat your touchpad as a mouse, so you would not be able to use gestures, but cursor movement is fast and smooth. Keyboard works flawlessly except mentioned caps issue.If you just remember that you need to press caps once to turn caps on, but 3 times to turn it off, you can easily live with this one.
Original VoodooPS2 can be used (with a little plist tweak), but your touchpad will be treated as mouse, same as with ApplePS2Controler. It's much better to use first one in my opinion.
You can use R6Bronxteck version of ALPS touchpad driver on HS. Gestures will work (or at least some of them), but cursor movement is almost two times slower than with ApplePS2Controler. PrintScr and Insert keys will be dead. If you need insert key for any reason, avoid this one. There is also an issue with caps lock led (at least on my system). Once led is turned on, it will never be turned off until you reboot.
For help related to DSDT patching, you need to post your origin folder.On Clover GUI screen press F4. Boot to OSX and compress and attach the origin folder from EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin
Since you have working Windows you might even mount EFI partition from there and comperes and post your origin if you can't use OSX to do that.
-
I had a copy of A19 origin folder from your model, so I checked DSDT and it turns out that required patch for XPRW should be same as mine.
I removed SSDT-DDGPU.aml, since you do not have nVidia. I also removed Legacy_Sierra_QMI.kext and all sensors kexts. You can add any of those later if you need them.
This should work just fine, but if it turns out that you have any problem related to USB ports, remove USBPorts.kext from kexts/Other folder.
Even iMessage and FaceTime should work if your account is not one of those that require genuine MLB/ROM.
Only thing that really require your attention is your Wi-Fi. I am using external TP link USB Wi-Fi device, so I do not have kext for Broadcom Wi-Fi. You need to add those yourself.
BT kexts are there and those works fine.
Let me know if it works for you.
btw. when you are replying to the last post in any thread, do not quote that whole message. That will just make reading harder, not easier as you probably wanted.

Sure, no problem, but you need to be aware that some things in my Clover folder are system dependent. I have E7450 with nVidia and I have A20 BIOS (released two days ago). What is your system? I do not see that info.
In patched folder I have those AML files:
SSDT-PNLF.aml is same as the one that you already have - needed for Intel brightness control SSDT-GPRW.aml, SSDT-EH01.aml, SSDT-EH02.aml and SSDT-XHC.aml - those 4 are needed to fix instant wake issues SSDT-DDGPU.aml is needed only on model with nVidia - this patch will disable nVidiaSSDT-DDGPU is not same as in Rehabman's repo. This one is for RP05, not for PEG0.
I am using WhateverGreen with 32MB framebuffer patch (the one from WG Intel FAQ). This one fully replace IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup. Since I have 16GB of RAM, I am also using patch to increase VRAM to 2560MB.
Patch in config that is required in order to replace GPRW with XPRW method (for wake issues) is dependent on A20 version of E7450 BIOS for nVidia model.
I am using AppleBacklightFixup.kext, so I do not need to patch com.apple.driver.AppleBacklight in config.
I am using Legacy_Sierra_QMI.kext that I made. It's for DW5809e LTE.
I am using MacBookAir7,2, but I consider switching to MacBookPro12,1 SMBIOS.
Everything else is same as it would be for any other similar laptop.
Since I need to replace my serials with new generated ones before send, send me your origin and I will also fix wake patch to match your DSDT, so you do not have to do that yourself.
EDIT:
Almost forgot. I am also using USBPorts.kext created with FBPatcher. This one is for MacBookAir7,2 and will not work on any other SMBIOS. For MacBookPro12,1, new kext should be created. If your ports are different than mine, you might also need to create this kext again.
You need to add USBInjectAll.kext before using FBPatcher, but USBInjectAll.kext SHOULD BE REMOVED before using generated kext.
Do not use Clover USB port patches. FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext is not needed with USBPorts.kext.
Do not combine those kexts in any way, this only can make your life a living Hell.

@Jake Lo I finally managed to properly apply USB3 _PRW 0x6D (instant wake) hotpatch alternative.
SSDT-GPRW.dsl and SSDT-UPRW.dsl are basically same. Only difference is that one replaces GPRW method and other replaces UPRW method. That's was clear from the beginning, but I overlooked some very important things.
Static patch actually have 4 parts. First part is related to patching of _PRW calls and other 3 parts are related to injection of some Apple USB properties into EHC1, EHC2 and XHC. Hotpatch alternative to those 3 parts are SSDT-EH01.dsl, SSDT-EH02.dsl and SSDT-XHC.dsl.
So, we need those 4 files in patched folder: SSDT-GPRW.aml, SSDT-EH01.aml, SSDT-EH02.aml and SSDT-XHC.aml.SSDT-EH01.aml and SSDT-EH02.aml needs two additional patches in Clover - change EHC1 to EH01 and change EHC2 to EH02. That's easy part.
Critical and a little tricky part is replacing GPRW with XPRW method. Tricky part (at lest when you do it for the first time) is that we need to change method itself, but not calls to the method. This part is BIOS dependent, so it's not universal and needs to be found.
DSDT should be decompiled with -l option in oder to get mixed view.
$ iasl -l DSDT.amlYou need to find GPRW method. In A20 BIOS that I installed tonight, this looks like this
Method (GPRW, 2, NotSerialized) { PRWP [Zero] = Arg0 Local0 = B728: 14 40 06 47 50 52 57 02 70 68 88 50 52 57 50 00 // [email protected]. B738: 00 70 // .pMethod calls stats with 0x14, so we need to replace 14400647 505257 with 14400658 505257 in Clover.
If I open MaciASL from Launcpad it will open system DSDT. If I search for XPRW, it is changes just in one place, where it should be changed.
Scope (\) { Name (PICM, Zero) Name (PRWP, Package (0x02) { Zero, Zero }) Method (XPRW, 2, NotSerialized) { Store (Arg0, Index (PRWP, Zero)) Store (ShiftLeft (SS1, One), Local0) Or (Local0, ShiftLeft (SS2, 0x02), Local0) Or (Local0, ShiftLeft (SS3, 0x03), Local0) Or (Local0, ShiftLeft (SS4, 0x04), Local0) If (And (ShiftLeft (One, Arg1), Local0)) { Store (Arg1, Index (PRWP, One)) } Else { ShiftRight (Local0, One, Local0) FindSetLeftBit (Local0, Index (PRWP, One)) } Return (PRWP) } }Sleep now works even when I am on power adapter, not only when I am on battery. Same as with static patch version.
-
AppleBacklightFixup.kext and AppleBacklightInjector.kext are very similar. Difference is that AppleBacklightInjector.kext requires additional patch in config (change F%uT%04x to F%uTxxxx). AppleBacklightFixup.kext doesn't require that patch. You need only one of those.
-
I have very strange problem. My system goes to sleep without issue if I am on battery, but it wakes up instantly on power adapter. Looks like that cause of the problem is hibernation that keeps coming back.
Hibernation was disabled, but somehow it's enabled again?!

I was confused, since there is nothing strange in my log related to Wake reason, and I was sure that my hibernation was disabled.
I actually already seen this few days ago and disabled hibernation. I thought I messed something up in some of my experiments, but now I see that this coming back.
EDIT:
I just remembered that I restored defaults in Energy Saver last night while I was trying to figure out what's wrong with my sleep. That reseted my hibernation to defaults.
If you ever reset Energy Saver settings to defaults, you need to disable hibernation again.
EDIT 2:
Any change in Energy Saver setting will cause restore of default hibernation settings. I just disabled Power Nap and hibernatemode is back to 3.
-
That's fine. That folder is there just to help you to copy those files after you finish your installation to proper place. Those kexts are not injected with Clover from that folder.
I just noticed that you are using A19 BIOS with patched files that are not from A19 for your model.
Replace patched folder and config with those from this archive. I took A19 files from Jakes bootpack for your model and changed config to use proper sort order of those.
-
If I understand correctly, now you are finally able to boot, but without sound? Or I misunderstood something?
If you can boot, post debug.

What FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext do in /S/L/E? Remove it from there.
Why do you have a folder called 4297 in /S/L/E?! Remove that folder and it's content. Looks like you have another copy of FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext there.
Having USBInjectAll.kext and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext on same machine is straight way to hell. Remove them both. You can add FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext if you really need it to /S/E later.
Remove EAPDFix.kext, you do not need it anymore.
If it still doesn't work, try to temporary remove intelhaxm.kext and see will it help.
-
I know that you do not have nVidia. That's why I put your AML files from your patched folder there and not mine.
Can you please post list of your files in /Library/Extensions? Did you put any kext in /System/Library/Extensions? I suspect that you have something there that makes problems to your system.
-
Just backup your current Clover folder and try with this one instead. I added themes and tools folders.
-
Backup your complete Clover folder and put this one from archive instead. I copied my Clover folder, replaced my AML files with yours and combined things that you need from one or another folder. I also changed model to 12,1 (i am using 7,2) and generate new serials for you.
EDIT: Please copy themers and tools folders from your Clover.
-
Jake already told you that your DropTables is not good in another thread. You still have CpuPm instead of CpuSsdt there. Fix that first.
Remove AptioMemoryFix.efi from drivers64UEFI. Where that came from?
Remove ssdt.aml from your ACPI/patched and do not generate new one.
-
What is the status of your WWAN card? ONLINE, LOW POWER MODE or something else?
It is possible your device is not properly initialized. Can you post Legacy_Sierra_QMI.kext that you are using? Info inside must match your device.
If your device is in ONLINE mode send PPP log, so we can try to figure out what is wrong.If your device is in LOW POWER MODE, you can try to bring it to ONLINE mode. Check BIOS and try with WiFi keyboard switch like would you do in Windows (FN + button with WiFi icon).

I am sorry, I think I made an oversight.
Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) // _PRW: Power Resources for Wake { Return (GPRW (0x69, 0x04)) }Can you try to rename GPRW instead of UPRW in config
change GPRW to XPRW 47505257 58505257and to replace SSDT-UPRW.aml with SSDT-GPRW.aml?
EDIT:
I just tried this on my machine and my hot patched DSDT looks promising:
Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) // _PRW: Power Resources for Wake { Return (XPRW (0x69, 0x04)) }Please let us know if it works for you.
-
Can you try to add SSDT-UPRW.aml to your patched folder and with this patch added in your config?
change UPRW to XPRW 55505257 58505257This should solve your instant wake issues. Please let us know if it helps.
Latitude E7470 - SSDT/DSDT + Brightness issues
in The Archive
Posted
You have two configs and two patched folders which is not a problem by itself, but you can easily make things wrong (as you did). In one of those CpuSsdt is SSDT-6.aml and in second CpuSsdt is SSDT-5.aml
When you sent files first time you send this folder only:
SSDT-0.aml SSDT-1.aml SSDT-2.aml SSDT-3.aml SSDT-4.aml SSDT-5.aml SSDT-13.amland I wrote to you to remove SSDT-5.aml, since I checked all of them to see which one is CpuSsdt
You use another folder now
SSDT-0.aml SSDT-1.aml SSDT-2.aml SSDT-3.aml SSDT-4.aml SSDT-5.aml SSDT-6.aml SSDT-14.amland you removed wrong table from Sort order. You need to remove SSDT-6.aml here, not SSDT-5.aml. You also need to remove SSDT-6.aml file itself from patched folder.
This should fix your hang/kp problems.
I updated all my kexts tonight and brightness stoped working for me too. Looks like AppleBacklightFixup.kext doesn't work with latest Lilu.kext for some reason. I had to remove AppleBacklightFixup.kext and to restore AppleBacklightInjector.kext and to re-enable change F%uT%04x to F%uTxxxx patch again. This works fine.
You have this patch in your config, so just replace AppleBacklightFixup.kext with AppleBacklightInjector.kext and rebuild kext cache. After reboot go to Displays in System Preferences and check if you have Brightness slider there or not. It is possible that your keyboard shortcut doesn't work even if brightness itself works.
p.s. /Library/Extensions is preferred location for adding kexts, not /System/Library/Extensions. It's not a problem if you add them there, but it would be hard for you to keep track of them later. I recommend to remove your kexts from there and to move them to /L/E. Always rebuild kext cache when you add or remove anything to/from /L/E or /S/L/E.
