Ok, this is all pretty new for me! I disabled C6 and removed boot arg kext-dev-mode=1. So this is done.
I was wondering, to remove CpuPm Cpu0Lst, do I completely remove the dictionary that starts with 1? Or just the TableId?
For the VirtualSMC , do I just need to remove the kext and install the FakeSMC?
Lastly, I got my new wifi card in the mail! Yeah! Should I wait after the install for the kexts?
Sorry for all the questions but this is all very new for me!

Thank you, I will have a look at thoses
-
while waiting for the Wifi card to show up, I would really like to understand the process better and I've built another usb drive with kexts that I think should work for my system.
First question: Do I have to update the Config.plist everytime I add or remove kexts on the usb drive?
Second question: I am using the VoodooPS2Controller recommended by Hervé. I installed the recommended one and it doesn't work. I've included pictures of what I get.
It says it found V3 rushmore touchpad just before stopping.

I did and it's there, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something else I didn't knew that would matter.
So, the new card is ordered and I should get it by the 25th of may
For the non working trackpad, should I try to reinstall Catalina with all the kexts we removed? Should I try to make a new installer usb?

14 hours ago, Jake Lo said:
On your 1st post you mentioned about replacing kexts in /Library/Extensions. Was that incorrect?
What kext did you replace?
I replaced the VoodooPS2Controller kext to fix the trackpad but it didn't work.
For the wifi card, I will look into the one you suggested and return the new one I have if I can
Ok, I found a card not that far from me and I would receive it in just a couple of days but it's an Azurewave instead of dw1550, still has the broadcom BCM4352:
Would that work or should I go with the dell?

With your experience, would you suggest the atheros or intel?
ok, so I took the chance of booting into Catalina from my SSD one more time and it booted right up.
No trackpad, no wifi.
I didn't knew there was an option to install kexts to Library/Extensions, I really am a newbie at this and really don't understand the whole process. Since the beginning I just modify the kext folder from the EFI of the Catalina SSD.
What should I do next?

Ok, you guys are fast
Removed all the kexts you guys suggested and rebooted straight in, That is good!
For the Atheros card: AR5B22 half mini PCIe (here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0875QJK83/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
For the original wifi card: Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, model # 633ANHMW
I then copied the Voodoo kext supplied by Jake Lo, rebooted and still no trackpad.
Then I moved to Hervé's post, installed ALPS kext but forgot to remove the other Voodoo and rebooted to a circle with diagonal bar (sorry I don't know the name of that sign) on Catalina drive. I did try the recovery drive and it seems to be reinstalling right now from apple.
Funny thing, after rebooting from the recovery partition, the trackpad is working...

Ok, got rid of the scrap, booted right up.
I know my hardware, it's the whole kexts programming, config plist that I don't understand. This EFI was built by someone else and was supposed to be working, guaranteed. I now realized it's not so great but it's the best I have right now.
I have replaced the wifi card in the laptop with an Atheros one because I read that the intel one is not compatible so I did not remove that kext. This is another thing that is not working with the trackpad.
With the unnecessary kexts removed I can now upload my kexts folder from clover
And just in case this is my config plist but at that pointt I'm afraid to show it...

Hi everyone!
New member here in search of answer. I've been around hackintosh for a while now but I never really understood the process. I just followed guides made by awesome people and was lucky enough to get working systems 3 or 4 times now. For the past week I have been trying to install Catalina on this laptop (Dell Latitude E6440) and I am close to success except for the trackpad that is not working. I've found a couple of topics here about this but I cannot fix mine, maybe I just don't understand the process. I replaced my VoodooPS2Controller a couple of times with various ones but I still get a non working trackpad. Again, I think I missed some steps because I just replace the kext in Library/Extensions of my booting hard drive. I also wanted to include my EFI file here but it's too big even when zipped, if anyone have a suggestion on how I could include it...
Oh and to anyone who would want to help me with this, thank you very much in advance!

I think I managed to do what you asked me and I still get the same result:
Here's my new EFI
