Allright, going to try and install a DW1560 E7450 Wifi and bluetooth card in, before it arrives, any last minute pointers on getting it installed in (Relative to the original clover plst and kexts) without breaking the brightness?

Oh sweet moriya it works! I dont know what part of the SSDT USB doesn't work (The flash drive I used for setup and mouse works fine) but if any problems arise, I shall rectify them. Thanks for sticking through till the end Jake!

Yes that is correct, it is the Intel HD Graphics. I've had Legacy Boot ROMs disabled from the start, and I will remove that SSDT and wait for your patched one.

Hello kernel panic my old friend.. debug_6241.zip Couldn't even boot in.

On EFI? Didn't do anything . Heres the updated debug files. debug_32768.zip I noticed when I put the display to sleep for about half a second it brigthens up to a reasonable level then dims,. Furthermore, when I reset after booting it retains the low brightness even in the BIOS, but when I shutdown, it re-brigthenes in the BIOS and clover. Could it have something to do with the intelbrightnesslevel perhaps?

What about the brightness control in the settings menu? Is there any way to fix that? Also when I do this, the brightness icon shows up but nothing happens. Its still dim! I cant use the key to change this OR the settings menu, even though it shows up like it works. I can "adjust" the slider "adjust" using the keys, but the level stays constant.

I see the brightness control, but the slider does not do anything of note. The Fn key does not do anything at all. Here is the new Debug routine along with the brightness screen with the finger on the Function key.

Okay, it's still not working control wise. Do I need to put it in /S/L/E/ or another directory?

Here ya go! debug_9703.zip Suprised I didn't do this first hand, but oh well!

Right, I tried using the method described above, but I still dont have control either in keyboard or in settings. Does anyone have the injection kexts or ACPI's I can use to try and manually patch it within OS X? Everything else is working fine, its just this one snag.

Okay Good news! I hand copied the ACPI and patches from the post file to the main boot up, and were in business! I'm going to attempt the brightness fix now and will return with further results. 10.13.6 update also works without any issue.

My appolgies, was trouble shooting With the .plst at its defualt, It just hangs here With setup it hangs here

Here's what I get with setup and booting from SSD

This gets me stuck at Half an apple bar booting from Hard Drive, and verbose results in in freezing around "apfs innode" or "creating ramdisk /var/log " for setup. Once again, I can however use this and then boot in with the config_post.plst that I posted in the same zip file. I've never encountered something this fickle. It seems to have something to do with loading APFS support but I cant pin what exactly is the magic touch of going through all those hoops. It's oblviously not the boot arguments, so what else could it be.

The config files Theres the config.plst and the config_post.plst I can boot if I boot into the menu with the first one, but switch to post in the 2nd. I think It has something to do with the boot arguments but I am not sure. Whenever I boot from the config_post.plst directly I get a non themed, improper resolution, and non bootable system. So I need some pointers how to get a themed, autobooting, and proper resolution and boot args from the 1st, but the readings and proper post menu booting from the 2nd. From the efi.zip file I posted earlier.
