Status :

• The performance is better than windows and linux.(don't check benchmarks with geekbeench. You will see low scores than windows. But in performance, This macOS has great performance than windows, linux. I have tested in different sinarios, You can also test it and let us know about it.

• You definitely get more performance sure than windows without plugin the charge in this MacOS(Hacintosh)... I have tested blender in Both OSes.Blender worked very very smooth than windows(Tested my personal project has "realtime sky Nishita" which puts high work on device with blender 3.2.1. So you can expect more performance it in My efi. Here, the performace is because of "Metal-Optimisation", but not optimised in "OpenCL" in windows, And we don't need openCL in macos according to me..

Note - In this Hacintosh, You get 5hr battery for common usage like using xcode,safari instances, social media apps, and 1080p playback at a time, continuously, simultaneously.

• I have also tested the python program benchmark test (Just used terminal not IDE) : Results:

  In windows :
  
    - the program finished compiling on time (on balanced mode)- 4min 36sec.
  
    - the script finished compiling on time (on performance mode)- 4min 26sec.
  
  On macOS(hacintosh) :
     
    - the script finished compiling on time - 4min 16sec.
  
  On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS(original) :
    - the script fininshed compiling on time (on Performance mode)- 4min 39sec.
  

  used this python benchmark program compiled the program x16000 times once.

And also I have tested Windows10 virtualbox with assigning 4gb ram 50gb storage, These are the benchmarks. images/WindowsVirtualboxBench.png

Talking about the battery, The only issue is when the battery is about 15% or when device shows low battery, don't sleep your device. If you do it, the device may shutdowns or reboots only at that situation.

What's working ✅

• ✔️ Wifi
• ✔️ iMessage, FaceTime, App Store, iTunes Store Please generate your own SMBIOSread my post install which is below the installation.
• ✔️ Bluetooth (Bluetooth Headphones working, also bluetooth file transfer works)
• ✔️ OnBoard Audio(Input/ Output)
• ✔️ USB ports
• ✔️ Wired headphones
• ✔️ You will get upto 4 hours to 5 hours battery backup for streaming 1080p-youtube and for coding without any pause.You may get more than me.
• ✔️ Trackpad
• ✔️ brightness keys(To increase(+ve) -> Pausekey) & (To decrease(-ve) -> Scr Lk key)
• ✔️ Wake / Shutdown
• ✔️ Short sleep. (If you make sleep for long hours, The laptop shutdowns. To boot up your device you need to plug in the charge like macbook to wake. But you can make sleep to for 1 to 3 hours(but you will lose 3 to 8 percentage for every hour when you put your device into sleep). This is due to continuous fan spinning when sleep. Anyone is welcomed to fix these issues. First contact me to do that
• ✔️ For HDMI , buy a USB dock.
• Everything (Much More).

What's not working ⚠️

• ❗ Long Sleep(Using Long sleep, fans still spins and causes battery drain)(Donot use any hibernate app in macos),Read Post-install Any one is welcomed to fix this issue, contact me.
• ❗ Hdmi slot. To get work, buy a USB Dock.
• ❗ Didn't mapped USBs.
• ❗ Didn't Mapped Keyboard keys.
• ❗ Less power Management optimisation.
• ❗ Don't expect too much battery in this Hackintosh like windows. You get atleast 5-hours battery-backup.

INSTALLATION

Devboloji-Quote - "think like you have Macbook Air."

Start with bios.

Setting Up with Bios

Note:Most of these options may not be present in your firmware, we recommend matching up as closely as possible but don't be too concerned, if many of these options are not available in your BIOS. You cannot change the cpu,fan and other settings. This is due to Locked-bios(cfg-lock). If anyone unlocked the bios,let me know that good news.

Disable:

• Fast Boot
• chipset -> PCH IO configuration ->disable wake on wlan and bluetooth (which causes sleep issues)
• Disable windows bit-lock encryption (ignore, if you don't lock it)
• Secure Boot
• VT-d -> Advanced -> Cpu -> Virtualization technology
• CSM

Enable:

• Execute Disable Bit
• DVMT Total Dfx Mem(iGPU Memory): MAX from System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
• Set DVMT Total Gfx Memory setting to Maxfrom System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
• Set DVMT PPre-Allocated Setting to 160M or to max from System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
• SATA Mode: AHCI
• Every setting is not Available so check your self
• Intel Virtualization Technology not vt-d.

This is a simple and quick summary of the online install USB creation.

Post Install

Once you have verifed that your machine boots properly without any issues as described in the "What Works section", proceed to do the following

Devboloji-Quote - "think like you have Macbook Air."

0. [Must] Boot os without usb or any drive

After booting into OS, you cannot boot without usb, because EFI is in USB. So, You need to downlaod opencore configurator link -> open opencore-configurator give permissions in system prefereneces -> security -> open anyway. open opencore-configurator again -> mount the EFI and paste the EFI<folder> to the EFI partition.

• Remove the USB and reboot. RESET-NVRAM once in opencore boot-menu and reboot..Done...

1.Disable the black screen texts on boot up

( Disabling the Verbose mode)A new hackintosh User uses this. To disable it, In Config.plist, navigate to 'NVRAM' -> go to Add 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args -> remove the -v argument. Save it and reboot.

2. Disable ShowPicker

Don't use this if you are using dual boot. In the Config.plist, You can disable the boot picker screen so that you boot straight to th Apple logo by setting under Misc -> Boot -> ShowPicker False (NO) Note: you can still see the boot picker with ShowPicker set to no/false by spamming Esc before the apple logo is displayed during boot.

3. Boot faster or Remove Volume has MisHash

You can Disable IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext & IntelBluetoothInjector.kext to be able to Boot faster those kexts in config.plist for BigSur. For Monterey, Disable IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext & Bluetool fixup.kext to be able to Boot faster those kexts in config.plist This is not done by default to bluetooth working.

For those on macOS Monterey do not enable IntelBluetoothInjector kext because the system will not boot

4.Clean Updating your EFI with new EFI release

To update your EFI with the new Release EFI. The steps:-

1. Download new Release EFI from here

2. Take the backup of SMBios or windows dual boot file to other folder, if you required. (if you want to backup SMBIOS,copy system serial number, system UUID, MLB, ROM, System product name.)

3. Now add those SMBIOS or place Windows EFI files as it should be in old EFI to new EFI, if you backuped before.

4. Mount the EFI partition, Delete the OLD EFI.

5. Copy and paste the new EFI to EFI partition.

6. hit reboot, Remember to do only Reset NVRAM once.

7. Done, you have done a clean EFI Update.

5. Add Device Properties for Serial number, MLB, ROM, Sytem-UUID.

Use MacBookAir9,1 SMBios. Recommended : opencore configurator, Go to the PlatformInfo >SMBiosTick the "Add to the section to config file" in SMBIOS and DATAHUB -GENERIC- PLATFORMNVRAM and continue your Adding your SMBIOS. Follow this Opencore guide to set up serial number and the accompanying info to get iServices.

Trick to Get exact Processor details in System Information - When you are adding the smbios, Edit processor type -> 0 or delete inside of processor-type .

6.To fix cursor glitch (ignore, if you are done, before installing)

Goto Bios Settings -> Chipset Section -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics Configuration

Set DVMT Total Gfx Memory setting to Max Set DVMT PPre-Allocated Setting to 160M or to max

7.Fix Imessage and Facetime.

If you are new to the apple account or if you are using apple account for the first time in hackintosh, You need to use the apple account for one month and use icloud. Even though, the imessages or factime don't work.. The thing is "Use it" for a month or more and automatically after some days, Magically facetime and imessages workss...Tada...

8.Fix "interface is small" (small text and window issue)

• To fix, use one key high dpi here and run hidpi.command in the folder and choose (1) Enable HIDPI by typing 1 -> Then choose Macbook -> if you want 1920x1080p with best quality use (4) 2560x1440 Display or if you want more scale use (2) 1920x1080 Display (use 1424x802, fix underscaled after sleep) or Recommended: for custom resolution -> choose (6) Manual input resolution -> then type 1472x828 hit enter -> Reboot your device.

• After rebooting, go to system Preferences -> Display -> choose Scaled and select what you like.

9. Donot try these things in fixing the sleep

• Donot use any hibernate app in macos.
• Donot try opencore sleep fix . If you use these! When you put your device sleep, the laptop reboots automatically after 30sec. To fix that you need to reinstall the macOS.

10. Install Windows in Pre-installed MacOS (Dual-Boot).

• This process is very simple for dual boot and can ask doubts and issues here.

1. Take a Usb or sd-card, connect to pc & Launch Disk Utility -> Select View > Show all devices at the top left.
2. Select your flash drive (root usb device)and format it as MS-DOS (FAT) or FAT-32. Change guid patition table -> Master Boot Record Partiton. Hit start(by doing this the sdcard formats so you will lose the all the data in sdcard).
3. Copy the EFI that you are using right now to the USB or store it to another device.
4. Next, to partition your drive, -> Launch Disk Utility -> Select View > Show all devices at the top left -> Choose your MacOS-drive as root -> Click Partition -> click add partition if you see a popup -> Name your partition. -> Change the Format type to ExFat or Ms-dos -> Adjust your Partition size as you like. click Apply. This process takes atleast 15 min.
5. Take an Another USB, Now Make bootable of required version of windows by rufus or any other.
6. Boot to USB from bios. Run the windows Installer as Asusual. But remember to install in your windows Partition in where to install in windows disk.
7. When you boot into windows, install all Updates and you can also restart when updates required reboot.(Forget about macOS for now). After installing all updates, Plug in the EFI usb and reboot to usb from bios to boot into MacOS.
8. When you boot into MacOS, Mount the EFI folder, and delete Bootand OC folders and paste the "boot" & "OC" folders from USB to MacOS EFI. Now go to Microsoft -> Boot -> change bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw.efi-ORIG (replace ".efi" extension to ".efi-ORIG"). Unmount the EFI and reboot.
9. Reboot to macOS.(you can only see "MacOS" in boot-menu). Now go to Microsoft -> Boot -> change bootmgfw.efi-ORIG to bootmgfw.efi (replace ".efi-ORIG" extension to ".efi" again). Unmount the EFI and reboot.
10. Now you can see Windows & MacOS on boot-menu. Enjoy.

. Have a great day.
