Warning: Please read this guide carefully. Simply copying my configuration file is very likely to not work (because there are many different Lenovo G50-80 according to PSREF), although you can still play around. You should apply the same steps as mine to get your Hackintosh working on your laptop. If you still want to try, please download it here.
Happy hacking 😉

See patches.txt. I only patched DSDT.aml and ignored all SSDT-*.aml.
Please follow the DSDT patching tutorial by RehabMan carefully, and you may find this video very helpful.
The patched results can be found at EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched.
For me, my laptop use F11/F12 for brightness down/up, so I have to map these keys to brightness adjust methods. By following Patching DSDT/SSDT for LAPTOP backlight control, I found my laptop use EC query methods (ACPI) for those keys. (This is the case with most modern laptops.) The Consloe.log shows they are _Q11 and _Q12. So the patch I used for mapping these keys is (see also in patches.txt):
into method label _Q11 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)\n
end;
into method label _Q12 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Up\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)\n
end;The ACPI debug version of my EFI configuration can be found at EFI_with_ACPI_DEBUG. I basically added the ACPIDebug.kext and then patched the DSDT with Add DSDT Debug Methods and Instrument EC Queries from https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Debug (add the source to MaciASL).
Note: All kexts used can be found at EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other, and I prefer to only install kexts to EFI folder instead of /S/L/E or /L/E for better update experience.
- Keyboard and trackpad:
VoodooPS2Controller.kext(I used the debug version for testing keys are PS2 or ACPI). I personally would like to enable single tap on trackpad inSystem Preferences -> Trackpad -> Tap to click, also enable one-finger tap & drag inSystem Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Trackpad options -> Enable dragging without drag lock. - Audio:
AppleALC.kext+layout-id=3, HDMI audio fixed withWhateverGreenframebuffer patching, see here. - Ethernet:
RealtekRTL8111.kext - Graphics:
Lilu.kext+WhateverGreen.kext, note you will need use config_HD5300_5500_6000.plist by RehabMan to setstolenmemto 19 MB andcursormemto 9 MB, see this and this. Also, you should enable 'Legacy support' in BIOS's boot tab to avoid glitches, see this post. - Battery status:

Go to Windows device manager and find your bluetooth's vid and pid information:
USB\VID_105B&PID_E065&REV_0112
USB\VID_105B&PID_E065Convert the hex to decimal using google search or any tool you prefer:
hex E065 == decimal 57445
hex 105B == decimal 4187Add the following to S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext/Contents/Info.plist -> IOKitPersonalities:
<dict>
<key>Lenovo G50 80 Bluetooth</key>
<string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBHostDevice</string>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>57445</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>4187</integer>
</dict>A demo patched Info.plist can be found at Bluetooth/Info.plist.
Note that in order to let the native Bluetooth work, we have to boot into Windows or Linux first, and then restart into macOS. See here. This is known as RAMUSB device firmware update problem. If you find any solution or want to discuss/fix this, please open an issue.
