ASUS-GL503GE-Hackintosh

Discussion, necessary configurations and instructions to get ASUS ROG GL503GE laptop working with macOS Mojave 10.14.x. Mojave is strongly recommended. The following should also work with all ASUS GL503GE.

#I will not update this clover version again i already use openCore and work flawlessly if you want use my metode pm me or email, i will update opencore metode in MACOS BIGSUR in my github !

Notes

128 GB NVMe SSD is used for installing macOS
APFS partition format has to be used
If you are upgrading from the previous version and your partition is HFS+, better boot the installer, unmount the partition and convert it to APFS

Pre-installation

Get yourself a Mojave USB installer with Clover installed. Important Clover settings (via Clover Configurator) are:

Acpi SSDT PluginType checked
Graphics: Inject Intel checked
Kernel Patches Kernel LAPIC, KernelPM and AppleRTC enabled
SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,2
UEFI Drivers

Kexts installed to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other: FakeSMC, VoodooPS2Controller

BIOS Settings

Secure Boot: Disabled
SATA mode: AHCI
DVMT-Preallocated: 64MB

Post Configuration

Any changes made to kexts are to be followed by sudo kextcache -i /. Every external kext mentioned is assumed to be the latest.

First Steps

Lilu and FakeSMC kexts installed to /Library/Extensions
DSDT files generated by Clover to the EFI partition
Drop all _DSM methods

CPU Power Management

Clover ACPI PluginType enabled
Clover Kernel Patches Kernel LAPIC, KernelPM and AppleRTC enabled
ACPIBatteryManager kext installed to /Library/Extensions

ALC295 Realtek Audio

Internal speaker and microphone work. For Headphone output, volume balance has to be either left or right to make the sound normal.

AppleALC kext installed to /Library/Extensions
Clover Audio injection Inject=3

PS/2 Keyboard

VoodooPS2Controller kext installed to /Library/Extensions and /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other (using keyboard in Recovery mode)
Karabiner (to remap your keyboard)

Intel UHD 630 Graphics

Enabled by device-properties injection (have Clover's Inject Intel unchecked, go with 0x3E9B0000)
WhateverGreen kext (with CFL backlight fix) installed to /Library/Extensions

Sleep and Wake

Manual static patching of USB _PRW 0x6D (instant wake) for Skylake, focusing on adding _PRW to XDCI and/or CNVW (Special thanks to MegaStood)
Alternatively, compare and modify your DSDT.aml file with the one provided in this repository

Backlight Control

Install the latest WhateverGreen. If you use AppleBacklightFixup, remove it.

Latest SSDT-PNLF.aml and SSDT-PNLFCFL.aml installed to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched

HDMI Port + Audio

No thorough test on this.

Disable WhateverGreen's HDMI injection by adding a boot flag -igfxnohdmi
device-properties combination of framebuffer-con1-type, framebuffer-con1-pipe and AAPL01,override-no-connect based on this post

USB 2.0/3.1 Ports

Clover USB injection Inject=false
USBInjectAll and XHCI-300-series-injector kexts installed to /Library/Extensions
SSDT-XHC.aml installed to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched for better USB support
Disable unused USB ports via /EFI/Clover/APCI/patched/SSDT-UIAC.aml

Realtek LAN

RealtekRTL8111 kext installed to /System/Library/Extensions and /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other (using internet in Recovery mode)

SATA controller

SATA-300-series-unsupported kext installed to /Library/Extensions

I2C ELAN1200 Precision TouchPad (pci8086,a368)

Kexts compiled from the source code (as of May 2019), can also be found in this repository under "Trackpad" folder, install the kexts to /Library/Extensions and rebuild kext cache.
DSDT editing for trackpad support (More info here) (look at ** MODIFIED **):

Device (TPD0)
{
    ...

    Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
    {
        GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
            "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x15, ResourceConsumer, ,
            )
            {   // Pin list
                0x0015
            }
    })

    ...

    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
    {
        Return (0x0F) // ** MODIFIED **
    }
    Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
    {
        Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (SBFB, SBFG)) // ** MODIFIED **
    }

Trackpad works okay but with minor stuttering.

Miscellaneous

NoTouchID kext installed to /Library/Extensions (MacBookPro15,2 has Touch ID)

Things that do not work

NVIDIA Geforce 1050 Ti (Optimus)

Discrete graphic, we probably never see the day. For now, use SSDT-DDGPU.aml (in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched) to power it off.

Intel Wi-Fi AC 9560

Intel built-in Wi-Fi chipset, we again probably never see the day.
