  1. After inquiring about his E6230 in an E6320 thread, walterwolf was specifically pointed to this guide... Makes me wonder if it's a E6220 or a E6230 he's got. There sure appears to be some confusion.
  2. It does not look like you repaired permissions as instructed by JakeLo. Don't use Kext Wizard, do it manually.
  3. They are 2 separate things with no relation between them. Whether you proceed or not is entirely up to you.
  4. Revert to your original settings then.
  5. The right patch maybe? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/563-sierra-mbr-patch/
  6. Look again! Use the built-in help if you can't see the obvious.
  7. Only the webcam and the security chip are seen in IOReg. If it's a DW1550 you have, it may need to go into a WWAN/combo PCIe-USB slot for Bluetooth to be available (if WLAN slot is PCIe only).
  8. Vey common mistake. Broadcom 5880 is a security chip fitted as standard on models that may receive the optional fingerprint reader. But, as stated by JakeLo, it's no Bluetooth module and none are listed on this M4800.
  9. Ideally, /L/E rather than /S/L/E (not /S/L). You can cache kexts from there are opposed to inject them with Clover.
  10. You cannot tell if SD card reader is USB-internal or PCIe by looking at the slot. You have to check whether it appears under the USB section of your SysProfiler or in the list of PCI devices in DPCIManager app (or Terminal command lspci -nn if you've installed the package). USB card readers normally work OOB or not all all. VoodooSDHC or Apple's own kext operate on compatible PCIe readers. If it's a PCIe model, you can try and declare it compatible with Apple's own device in DSDT. If it turns out compatible, it'll then work OOB.
  11. The iGPU will consume less battery, yes. You can swap keys through the Keyboard PrefPane...
  12. Seems Ok to me. Make sure to repair permissions and rebuilt your cache after you modify the FakeSMC kext.
  13. Moving to Support section since posted in Guides section which clearly states "no support here"...
  14. No, the FakeSMC patch of the D630 pack does include the PCI id of the GPU. You just missed it. NVS 135m carries device id 042b, so it's clearly different from the NVS 160M which you state to carry id 06eb. Read the thread with more attention...
  15. Dell had a tendency to fit different webcams to those laptops. What's the model? Its PCI ids? The E6320 was a typical example with some laptops fitted with a Sunplus webcam and some with a Sonix. Only the former is supported under OS X, not the latter. Same thing with the E6230: some laptops are fitted with a Sonix webcam carrying device id 0x648b (supported) and some with a different Sonix model carrying device id 0x6449.
  16. Grab your entry from your current version's AGPM kext, though there should be little of not no difference to what's posted in the original thread. D630 and E6500 don't have the same GPU. If you grab the D630 FakeSMC that includes the patch for NVS 135M, remember to change the GPU id or the patch will not be effective. That's clearly stated in the thread.
  17. If you've had trouble with every Dell/Lenovo/HP laptop you convert to Hackintosh, I can only assume it's linked to the manner in which you install or tune your systems because I've had no trouble using Chrome on my Hacks and I've had a few... I don't know which system you're on right now but you can start with the CPU & AGPM tuning threads & articles posted on the forum and web site. http://www.osxlatitude.com/tuning-performance-with-fakesmc-smbios-plist/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7807-nvidia-gpu-performance-tuning-with-agpm/
  18. It's not an Info.plist patch, it's a binary file one! Hence the Find/Replace for Clover...
  19. If you don't know of any other reason already, the answer is probably no.
  20. Well, now you've modified your initial post to explain things a little better... Anyway, I don't think you can do what you seek to do. What system do you experience such issue with? Did you tune your graphics for GPU throttling (AGPM)?
  21. You can verify full graphics acceleration in the usual manner: translucent Finder's bar, clicking in & out of LaunchPad, DVDPlayer Supported Features, etc.
  22. Sounds like 2nd/final stage boot glitch. Fixed with the following IOGraphicsFamily kext patch: Find: 0100007525 Replace by: 010000EB25
  23. Chrome is set by default as follows on all my Hacks (list in signature) and works without issues whatsoever:
  24. The recovery partition attached to a main installation partition is listed right below it. It's a dedicated partition on the disk so no bootloader option is going to make it go away, only merely hide it from you (Clover and Chameleon/Enoch do provide this facility, you can look that up). To remove it, apply the guidelines as detailed in this OS X Daily blog entry for instance: diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ Blank /dev/disk0sY --> where 'Y' is index of recovery partition diskutil mergePartitions <main partition name> disk0sX disk0sY --> where 'X' is index of main partition Remember: Google is your friend... In your particular case, rename your Media partition/drive to "Media_drive" (to remove the space) and type the following: diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ Blank /dev/disk0s4 diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ Media_drive disk0s3 disk0s4 You may then rename your partition to "Media drive" again. The 1st command reformats the recovery partition to HFS+ format and names it "Blank" (call it "Blaaaagh" if you wish). The 2nd command recovers the freed-up disk space and reassigns it to the main partition by merging the ex-recovery partition with the main one. If you need help with diskutil command, type: man diskutil
  25. You can try the latest FakeSMC if you wish; should work without problems. What's your Bluetooth module? I assume it's a Dell model like DW360, DW375, DW380. Look up it's PCI ids under SysProfiler->USB. Battery might require a little additional DSDT patch...
