|
|
| Wifi and Bluetooth \*need card replacement ⚠️| Fingerprint Reader (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) ❌| HDMI, currently only outputs at 1080p.Though capable of 4K 4096x2150. ⚠️|
|
|
| USB A, USB C, Webcam, Audio Playback/Recording Sleep, Ethernet, Intel Graphics, TrackPoint and Trackpad ✅ | Wireless WAN (DISABLED at BIOS) *ENABLED if you have a 2nd drive connected❌ | Function keys, F1-F6 work. The rest need to be mapped and patched via DSDT/SSDTs. ⚠️|
|
|
| iCloud suite: App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, etc... ✅ | Hibernation ❌ | Power management, currently 5-6 hours with average usage. Maybe a custom injection with CPUFriend will optimize this? ⚠️|
|
|
| HiDPI, Handoff, Sidecar ✅ | | USB power property injection - unsure of real values. ⚠️|
|
|
| MicroSD card reader ✅| | Thunderbolt 3 hotplug: proper patch needed. ⚠️|

|
> ## NEEDED:
|
|
A macOS machine would be VERY useful: to create install drives, and for when your ThinkPad cannot boot. Though it is not completely necessary.
|
|
[Clover Configurator](https://mackie100projects.altervista.org/download-clover-configurator/), if [Clover](https://github.com/Dids/clover-builder) is your bootloader.
|
|
Flash drive, 16GB or more.
|
|
Xcode works fine, but I prefer [PlistEdit Pro](https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/plisteditpro/).
|
|
[MaciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL), for patching ACPI tables.
|
|
[IOJones](https://github.com/acidanthera/IOJones), for diagnosis.
|
|
[Hackintool](https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335018-hackintool-v286/), for diagnosis.
|
|
|
|
> ## WHERE TO START:
|
|
Explore links included this README, especially those in references and other x1c6-hackintosh repos.
|
|
|
|
Once you are ready, follow the series of README files included in the repository.
|
|
**1_README-HARDWAREandBIOS**: Requirements before starting.
|
|
**2_README-installMEDIA**: Creating the macOS install drive.
|
|
**3_README-POSTinstallation**: Settings and tweaks post installation.
|
|
**4_README-ACPIpatching**: The hardest and most time consuming part, patching the system ACPI table for battery status, brightness, sleep, thunderbolt, thunderbolt hotplugging, 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.
|

Create a pull request if you like to be added, final decision at my discreation.
|
|
|
|
> ## OPTIMIZATIONS:
|
|
* Repaste the machine with thermal [Grizzly Kryonaut](https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en).
|
|
* Undervolt the machine with [Volta](https://volta.garymathews.com/).
|
|
* If you must dual boot with Windows or Linux, I advise against paritition. What I recommend, instead, is getting a second compatible hard drive that fits in the WWAN card slot (I have the WDC PC SN520 NVMe 2242), install Windows/Linux onto that drive. Finally, boot into it with Clover or OpenCore.
|
|
* If your laptop did not come with WWAN, you can purchase additional antennas to add to your laptop. This is useful when using Wifi/Bluetooth cards that have 3 antennas.
