  1. Not yet. Which ones do I check and how? Is it in console after I restart due to the freeze?
  2. When I get the kinks worked out, it'll be added to EDP here and it'll be really easy for you to install it but sure. Before I do though, which graphics card do you have? If you have the 660m it might not be worth your time as you will get no graphics acceleration which means no flash, quicktime, qe/ci, top sites page on safari will lock up your computer, and it'll just be sluggish overall. Nobody's found a fix for this yet and their likely never will be. If you have the 670m, you should be alright.
  3. It sounds like you have a usb 3.0 problem. Try installing GenericUSBXCHI.kext into S/L/E of your pendrive and do the same on your new install when you reach it
  4. I've tried the freezefix app but it did nothing. This isn't quite like the fermi freeze as people with fermi freeze will have a random freeze for no reason which I don't. Also, if it works in ML, then it should work in Mav. Unfortuantely, I can't change the graphics card. Is there any way I can fix this?
  5. I have the Asus G75vw with the nvidia 670m graphics card. It works fine it ml with the open cl > 2gb patch and graphicsenabler=yes but in mavericks, whenever I attempt to play any flash videos or videos with quicktime, my computer completely freezes and the only thing that responds is the mouse (but it can't click anything). Any ideas to what's up with mavericks?

Just go to AGPM.kext in S/L/E and copy it to your desktop 2. Then open it and got to: show package contents -> contents -> info.plist 3. Then navigate to: IOKitPersonalities->AGPM->Machines 4. Expand Mac-C3EC7CD22292981F (mbp 10,1) or 5. Add a new dictionary called: Vendor10deDevice1213 6. In this new dictionary, add a new number titled: control-id 7. Give it a value of 17 8. Add a new dictionary called: Heuristic 9. In this new dictionary, add a new number titled: ID 10. Give it a value of 0 11. Navigate back to GFX0 under the smbios 12. expand heuristic under it and change the value of ID to 0 (0 is for fermi cards and 4 is for kepler) 13. To create ssdt: i. After downloading ssdtPRGen, open terminal and type: ~/ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3 * This will generate an ssdt with the ivy bridge work arounds. Without the work arounds, you're cpus will be stuck at "x8.0" all of the time. Mavericks Only: 1. Change smbios from iMac 13,2 to iMac 12,1 2. AGPM patching same as above except apply these fixes to iMac 12,1 smbios instead 3. Under gfx0, delete "BoostPState", "BoostTime", and everything under the "Heuristic" dictionary except the "ID" number 4. Go back into S/L/E and copy AppleGraphicsControl to your desktop 5. Open it and go to Contents -> Plugins -> AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy -> Contents 6. Open the info.plist and navigate to: IOKitPersonalities -> AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy -> ConfigMap 7. Create a new string and name it: Mac-942B5BF58194151B 8. Make its value: none * This will prevent booting to a black screen 9. A special ssdt must be generated to get proper cpu power management: i. After downloading ssdtPRGen, open terminal and type: ./ssdtPRGen.sh -c 0 * This will generate an ssdt for sandy bridge smbioses (like the iMac 12,1) to get proper cpu power management Explanation for using iMac 12,1 Smbios in Mavericks For unknown reasons, using the iMac 12,1 smbios (with proper smbios and graphics kext patches outlined above) is the only one we've found to work well. Macbook pro and mac mini smbioses both lead to complete system lockups when running flash or quicktime videos and the iMac 13,2/1 smbioses work most of the time, but will lead to random and unpredictable system freezes. According to Intel, ivy bridge is backwardly compatible with sandy bridge which is why this works well. Ivy bridge is only a smaller, slightly more power efficient/slightly more powerful version of sandy bridge. There's not much of a difference between them. Credits to asusG75 for discovering this coveted freeze fix VGA After the system is booted, plugging a monitor in via VGA doesn't work. However, if you plug the monitor in via VGA and THEN boot, it shows up and works fine. Then you can unplug and plug it in later after that boot is finished. Bios Limitation? I've been unable to boot to any gpt partitions besides windows on internal hdds. I've read that it is a bios limitation but others have reported it working with osx. Still under investigation. About this Mac Picture: Attached below is a more appropriate picture to replace the default iMac picture when using an iMac 27 inch smbios. Place file in: System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources Make a backup of the original file if the picture doesn't suit your tastes. If using another smbios, just copy the name of the file you wish to change and place in the folder mentioned. Also attached are 3 different picture that can be used to replace the apple logo in About this Mac. Just changed the name of the picture of your choice to "MacOSX.tiff" and copy it to: System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindows.app/Contents/Resources Of course back up the original if you don't like them. ssdtPRGen.app.zip AboutThisMacMod.zip

    If you know how to write this stuff (cause I don't) here's a good place to start: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k It's the linux driver for it and here's a list of what it supports: https://wiki.debian.org/ath9k#Supported_Devices

    I've done lots of editing, but I never made one from scratch. Got to start somewhere

    I'd like to try writing my own kext. Where should I start?
  10. Zackptg5

    Ar9462

    Just editing the info.plist doesn't work which is why I was hoping someone made a kext for it. The kext here is the only one I found that has support for the Ar9462 but it doesn't work with my mavericks install because it's an older kext.
  11. Zackptg5

    Ar9462

    Could you update it for mavericks or send me the source code so I could give it a shot?
  12. Zackptg5

    Ar9462

    It appears that the one you uploaded is a mountain lion kext cause it was created in March of 2013 and is version 6.0 while the default one (mavericks) is 7.0 and from september 2013. Is there anyway to update this kext?

    Thanks.

  14. I added the extra iokit personalities from the patched lion Ioatafamily.kext to the mountain lion one: http://www.osx86.net/files/file/41-ioatafamily-mountain-lion/ I used this myself on my Dell Optiplex 745 where it was needed for the installer to detect the hard drive I did the same for the mavericks one: http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3703-ioatafamily-mavericks/ But I didn't test this one out. Should work in theory though

    I have the qualcomm atheros 9462. Vendor id = 168c Device id = 34 Name = "pci168c,34" I tried adding the ids to the AirPortAtheros40 kext but it didn't work. I read that it's not compatible with this kext for some reason. So I looked around and found an AR9462 kext in the google source code of EDP: https://code.google.com/p/osxlatitude-edp/source/browse/trunk/storage/kextpacks/?r=226#kextpacks%2FAtheros-AR9462 Unfortunately, I don't know how to get it to work on my custom built system nor do I need anything else. Is there any way for me to obtain Atheros-AR9462 kext without EDP and will it work? The strange thing is that the bluetooth from this card works oob.
  16. That explains it. Guess I'll have to wait for the 10.8.5 release then
  17. v1.3 with my patched bluetooth kext worked perfectly. Thanks!
  18. Thanks for the update Leon. The wifi kext works great for me but when I removed it and tried the dsdt patch, it didn't. I have the 43b1, not 43a0 so would I need to change the dsdt patch you posted?
  19. Ok, I've been looking at this thread and the original one for the bcd 4352. For the bluetooth, do I use the v1.3 here or the 1.2 on the other thread? (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2767-broadcom-80211-ac-wifi-and-bluetooth-combo-card-for-osx/) Also, do I need to have the bluetooth kext patched or not? (there's some conflicting information)
