Bios:

  1. vt-d | disabled
  2. CSM | enabled, UEFI only and in "other OS" mode
  3. Secure boot | disabled, erase keys if required to disable
  4. [Critical] remove dedicated graphics card if you see "unsupported PCH" error in logs

Post-installation:

  1. Remove verbose boot: Remove -v in boot-args (under NVRAM): image

  2. Remove opencore bootloader for fast boot into apple logo (under MISC): Set showpicker=false Should you have issues and need bootloader or boot in verbose refer to troubleshooting section under "Unable to boot due to bad kext".

  3. Boot without install drive. Install OC configurator on your hackintosh. On the top right toolbar, mount the disk that you installed macos. image

    Once mounted, you will see a EFI folder, delete everything in it, drag the full EFI folder from your thumb drive into this EFI directory image

Working:

  • Sleep
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi
  • iservices
  • Ethernet
  • Audio
  • All usb slots works

Not working (but can be solved with wifi card):

  • Airdrop
  • Handoff
  • Sidecar
  • Drag and drop - I had some issues with my machine dragging and not dropping - solved by changing the logi adapter to motherboard's usb 3.0 slot and also by force quitting finder and relaunching it.

Troubleshooting:

  • Unable to boot due to bad kexts: plug in your bootable usb > set boot drive to usb in bios > choose the drive that has mac installed > you should be able to boot into desktop now.
  • From my research seems like the bluetooth on Fenvi T919 operates on 2.4ghz band. Hence, some users has issues with spotty bluetooth and or slow wifi speeds when using 2.4ghz wifi + bluetooth simultaneously. The proposed solution is to use 5ghz band wifi and bluetooth issues should be fixed. Test completed, Fenvi doesn't work for me.

Homebrew + vscode issues:

Tools:

  • OC Configurator (to mount boot drive, update and validate kexts, and find out what kexts work for your hardware)
