Bluetooth

⚠️ If You Will Use The EFI For macOS Big Sur do the next steps:

• Download OCAuxiliaryTools
• open config.plist with OCAuxiliaryTools
• Go to kernel
• For IntelBluetoothInjector.kext make it true

⚠️ If Updating from Big Sur to Monterey or a higher version do the next step:

• Based on OpenIntelWireless Website of IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext IntelBluetoothInjector.kext under Kernal->Add make it false or remove it.

Wifi

Now I added itlwm.kext v2.2.0 and its true under Kernal->Add and download HeliPort app as WiFi control panel from here and working at the same time with Bluetooth without any problem

⚠️ BUT NEVER use both itlwm.kext and AirportItlwm.kext at the same time.

⚠️ If BT and WiFi didn't work with you on macOS Ventura after the first time installation, Try install BigSur or Monterey then update to Ventura

⚠️⚠️⚠️ I replaced my current wifi card with DELL DW1560

to switch to Supported EFI:

git checkout EFI-1560-wifi

and read the instructions of how to enable it.

Fix Headphone Jack / ComboJack

This is for ALC3246 Analog (ALC256) from (https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack)

1. put ComboJack_Installer/VerbStub.kext in EFI/OC/kexts/

2. Run ComboJack_Installer/install.sh in terminal (just drag and drop install.sh in terminal)

   ./ComboJack-master/ComboJack_Installer/install.sh 
   

3. reboot your laptop

When you attach a headphone there will be a popup asking about headphone type. and earphone and mic work fine

hackintosh_dell_inspiron_15_5567's Issues

Support for Sonoma

SD Card Reader Support

I have the exact device specifications this project was made for, and I noticed that the built-in SD card reader does not work, and it seems to be unmentioned in the readme. I have identified that it is an internal USB RealTek card reader, so https://github.com/0xFireWolf/RealtekCardReader and https://github.com/0xFireWolf/RealtekCardReaderFriend should (in theory) take care of it.

I'll probably do some testing if I have time, but I hope this can be supported in the future!

Fans control

I have a dell inspiron 15 5577 laptop running macOS Monterey. Its pretty smooth but i have 2 issues :

1. I am not able to control the fans by any method. I am using VirtualSMC but i cant control fans. I have tried many apps.
2. after waking from sleep, The fans automatically starts spinning. Although the temperature is showing 46 degrees only still the fans are not stopping.
