Hackintosh on Dell 5570
Specs :
Cpu : Intel i5-8250u at 1.6ghz (Kabylake-r) Gpu : Intel UHD620 Ram : 8gb ddr4 2400ghz Hard disk : I replaced the standard hd with a Samsung 860 evo and I added a Samsung 860evo at m2 slot. Wifi/bt : Factory qualcomm won't work. I replaced it with a Broadcomm 94360CS2 working natively. Fingerpring sensor : Won't work with mac, so I disabled it. Card reader : I don't need it , so I disabled it from bios.
What is working : Pretty much everything...
CPU management : native cpu management Battery managment : getting 4,5-5 hours , with browsing , music and office editing. Better that windows 10 !!! Audio : working great including headphones. Sleep/wake : lid close / open working as it should. Precision touchpad : working close to a real mac , with almost all gestures. Brighness / volume control : fn + F1,F2,F3,F4 for volume , fn+F11,F12 for display brighness. Camera : ok
What we need : I will not get into details. You can read the great guides at forum for getting a usb installer.
Some notes :
✓ Dispaly analysis is set to 1920x1080 (default). If you find (like me) that fonts are too small you can use a scaled one (like 1600x900). Or you can run one-key-hidpi-master to get HDIPI , too.
✓ You have to implement proper usb management, following this guide :guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311. This is very importart!!! I've already placed a ssdt for usb , but be sure to check if it is working ok for your system , too. As I said I've disabled card reader and fingerprint sensor , as they don't work on hackintosh.
✓ Uncheck smart zoom at preferences/trackpad.
✓ Install codecommander.kext at l/e with proper permissions.
✓ Get yourself a serial number in config.plist/smbios.
✓ There is a Bios editing section at the end of this section. If you don't follow it you won't ne able to boot with the current OC folder.
BIG SUR UPDATE 14/8/20
• Update OC and kexts to latest version (see note 1)
• Revert back to smbios 15,2.
• SSDT's and config.plist optimisation.
• Solved audio from headphones disappearing after sleep , with SSDT-HRT.aml. Needs more testimg
though.
note 1 : I use an older version of whatevergreen.kext , whick works on Big Sur but doesn't have the issue where aster waking from sleep gpu hangs at max frequency.
GUIDE FOR BIOS EDITING
To get a fully optimise Macos you should change some setting in BIOS. This is very dangerous and could lead to a bricked laptop. Use it at your own risk. You have been warned !!!!
If you still want to try then :
Follow this guide : http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/tutorial-xps-15-9550-9550-bios-advanced-options.810307/
and change these settings:
DVMV PRE-ALLOCATED set to 64MB: setup_var 0x795 0x2
DVMT TOTAL GFX MEM set to MAX: setup_var 0x796 0x3
CFG Lock set to Disabled: setup_var 0x4ED 0x0
I2CO INTERUPT MODE set to GPIO Interrupt : setup_var 0x272 0x0
