Much appreciation for all your efforts.

how to update to macOs 11.4

Hi, I now have Mac 11.0.1 installed on my laptop(E560).
Now how do I update to version 11.4?
Do I have to re-create a flash boot to install?

Questions about using this Repo

Hi Sergey,
Thank you very much for you work.

I have E560 laptop but I have an i5 CPU, could I use the same files in this repo? or should I change something?

Another question is about bios, I didn't upgrade my bios and I have v1.13 because I read that updating bios could make some problems with hackintosh, did you upgraded you bios? and what version you have?

and lastly, should I put the EFI folder in this repo in USB flash drive that I will use it to install macOS?
I would be grateful if you give me a link to a guide that I should follow to install macOS on my laptop.

Thank you again for your work on this and sorry for asking a lot of questions.

Currently I'm using Clover and Add Windows partition to Config.plist, how I can get windows partition work with clover?

Many thanks!

Install mac os 10.15.4

Hi.
I replaced the your file config.plist with my own file. Then I made a boot flash with unibeast for Mac 10.15.4.
Then I replaced the EFI folder with the flash boot folder.
But the time of descent is only displayed on the Apple logo, and the bottom line is not displayed at all, and the installation remains unfinished.
Can you give me your own EFI folder that supports Mac 10.15.4 for me to use?🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹

Problem with similar hardware

Hi
I have a lenovo ideapad 510-15ISK laptop with the same processor and graphics. (i3 6100u intel hd520). I installed big sur. Wifi, bluetooth, audio works. I patched the battery so battery status is working, generated kext via CPUFriend to manage cpu.
And I have a problem. My computer works up to a certain point. At some point it is impossible to play movies, e.g. on YouTube and movies that are saved on the local disk.(After my computer is turned on, the movies run for a while. When they stop, I also have a CPU problem - high kernel_task usage)
In VideoProc, it does not detect the HEVC codec. I can see that on your computer the program detects this codec because you have a screenshot attached. The intel power gadget doesn't work for me either. Does it work for you? And the final problem is:
at some point kernel_task uses 100% of my CPU and that causes huge lags and I have to shut down my computer.
I am sending you my EFI folder.
Can you take a peek?
Do you have any idea what I should do?

Better ALPS kext

Hi rsdev69, i found a good kext for the ALPS trackpad and i suggest you to replace the old one by this.
Which working:

• TrackPoint
• 3 top buttons (right, middle and left)
• Scrolling using middle button and trackpoint
• Detectable by the trackpad prefpane
• 2/3 multifinger gesture (to move between destops, just change shortcut in the
  keyboard section)

Known issues:

• Caps lock not working properly
• Insert button not working
• Dragging by physical left button (holding the left button and swipe touchpad) not working.
  If you touch the trackpad while holding the left button, the system will simulate a button
  release.
• May be other (let me know)

Best Regards
