## Hardware replacements:
### WiFi and Bluetooth:
Replace factory Intel wifi module with a MacOS compatible one. Make sure that the card is of M.2 form factor. I replaced it with a Broadcom BCM94352Z. [Broadcom Wifi/Bluetooth Guide](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/broadcom-wifi-bluetooth-guide.242423/#post-1664577).
### M.2 Hard Drive Replacements:
Replace factory Samsung PM981 with preferably a SATA M.2 SSD, as it is more power efficient and plays nicer with APFS than an NVMe M.2 SSD. [Reference](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-lenovo-x1-carbon-6th-gen-battery-life.254508/#post-1768978).

1. Stock Samsung PM981 should be replaced to avoid installation problems with macOS. It should be noted that since there is no NVMe power management, a SATA m.2 SSD drive will drastically increase battery life [Reference](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-lenovo-x1-carbon-6th-gen-battery-life.254508/#post-1768978).
2. Stock Intel Wifi/Bluetooth card must be replaced with a macOS compatible card. See [Broadcom Wifi/Bluetooth Guide](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/broadcom-wifi-bluetooth-guide.242423/#post-1664577).

## What doesn't work: ## Summary:
MicroSD Card Reader [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
Fingerprint Reader [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
Wireless WAN [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - not needed
TrackPoint nub is unstable [DISABLED at BIOS Level] - tluck's fork of VoodooPS2Controller may fix this problem, but I have yet to try it.
Hand-off is unstable - not needed
## Underlying minor issues that needs to be examined in the future: | Fully functional | Non-functional | Semi-functional. Additional pulls needed and welcomed. |
USB Power Property Injection - unsure of real values |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Battery life optimization - currently average 4-6 hours of regular usage | Stable, macOS work machine. | MicroSD Card Reader (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | HDMI, currently only outputs at 1080p.Though capable of 4K 4096x2150. |
With the exeption of volume and brightness, function keys do not properly work - DSDT patches and testing in progress | USB A, USB C, Thunderbolt 3, Audio, Sleep, Ethernet, Integrated Intel Graphics | Fingerprint Reader (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | Function keys, F1-F6 work. The rest need to be mapped and patched via DSDT/SSDTs. |
Keymapping is not perfect, need to do a complete ADB map | iCloud suite: App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, etc... | Wireless WAN (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | TrackPoint is unstable: skipping and jumping. |
Performance optimization - proper SMBIOS with the 2018 Macbook | Wifi and Bluetooth *need card replacement | | USB power property injection - unsure of real values. |
| | | Power management, currently 5-6 hours with average usage. Maybe a custom injection with CPUFriend will optimize this? |
## Pull Needed: ## Where to start:
Anything that partially/fully fixes "What doesn't work". Follow the series of README files included in the repository.
Proper DisplayOverride for HiDPI support and general screen profile correction. **1_README-HARDWAREandBIOS**: Replace Wifi/Bluetooth card and M.2 drive. Then change laptop's BIOS settings as detailed.
**2_README-installMEDIA**: Creating the macOS install drive.
### You can use my patched ACPI files on your machine ONLY when it has the exact same specifications as mine! **3_README-POSTinstallation**: Settings and tweaks post installation.
**4_README-ACPIpatching**: Patching the system ACPI table for battery status, brightness, sleep, etc...
*You can use my patched ACPI files on your machine ONLY when it has the exact same specifications as mine!
Please dump and patch your own otherwise, for safety and stability purposes. Please dump and patch your own otherwise, for safety and stability purposes.
## My Specifications:
**Utilities and software needed:**
KextBeast, for kext installation.
Clover Configurator and/or PlistEdit Pro (Interchangeable with Xcode).
MaciASL, for patching ACPI tables.
