You can either install your hackintosh all by yourself or you can use my EFI folders to install and run the hackintosh.

To install hackintosh on your laptop, follow these 2 guides:

UPDATE (11/2019): Since Rehabman is not active for a long time, I migrated to Vanilla Hackintosh method. It means that all kexts are installed to EFI partition to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ (instead of /Library/Extensions). I don't update kexts using Rehabman's repo anymore, I use Kext Updater.

Clover bootloader

Current installed version: v2.5k_r5122

Wifi + BT card

To make a different Wifi card work, follow this guide Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]. All necessary kexts and changes are included with my EFI for BCM94352Z/AW-CE162NF/DW1560.

UPDATE (10/2019): Rehabman is currently not active so I migrated to acidanthera's BT kexts (Mieze's patches included). These kexts are included in my EFI folder.

If you install hackintosh by yourself, download latest BT kexts from Releases page and copy BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext and BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext) to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.

Enabling HiDPI

To set custom HiDPI resolution, use this website or follow this guide Adding/Using HiDPI custom resolutions.

Necessary file generated with aforementioned website is included in HiDPI folder.

I started using FileVault to protect my data. All necessary drivers are present in the EFI folder.
