Clean install of Big Sur leads to BCM94360CS2 bluetooth being very laggy only right after booting up

As title, anyone else with this? Im using an Apple Airport card and everything works just like it did in Catalina. Except for the bluetooth. I tried resetting the module and re-pair my mouse and keyboard. Cleared nvram for good measure too.

When it's done booting and on the login screen the mouse and keyboard are very laggy for about 30 seconds. Then everything is fine and remains fine even when the machine does a sleep/wake cycle. It only happens when booting up.

I had no such issues in Catalina and I did read about Big Sur having bluetooth issues on real Macs too. So I'm not sure if this is due to me or Big Sur. Everything else works perfectly fine as it did in Catalina. I'm somewhat leaning towards a Big Sur bug.

I'm not using any kexts for the module. Booting my Catalina backup results in no lag at all. Big Sur is up to date. Maybe I should try the beta?

Any tips or pointers are welcome.

Edit: Upgrading Catalina to Big Sur also leads to the ~30 seconds of lag.

Should I upgrade from High Sierra to catallina through app store?

Hey everyone! I wanted to run catallina on my old PC and I tried to do it as well. I reached the installer bit I could not see my drives in the installer. I tried every method written in the guide and suggested by you guys but didn't work.

So I decided to install High Sierra with an SMBIOS of MacPro6,1 and telemetrap kext added while installing. I succeeded and I am now running high Sierra.

Note because of the SMBIOS I can upgrade to catallina my directly downloading the installer from the app Store. But if I did it, will it break my system? Is it ok to update through the system update?

Can we write drivers for unsupported WiFi cards in OS X?

I have an old laptop with a Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA435 WiFi card which as far as I know isn't supported in OS X. I looked on eBay for a compatible Broadcom card but all of them are like £25+, a price I'd be willing to avoid if possible for a WiFi card. I know I could just use HornDIS for tether WiFi with Android, but couldn't you write the drivers for unsupported cards if you had the knowledge and were willing to put in the efforts? Are there any good resources for OS X driver writing?

Dell G5 5587 Sleep Problem

Hi Guys! I'm using Big Sur 11.2 on a Dell G5 5587 laptop with OpenCore. When I start sleeping in Mac it works fine, I can wake it. And then a couple minutes later it become deep sleep,(btw the keyboard and mouse lights are off but the power button light is always on) however when I try to wake it, the fan starts to work very hard and the system is not responding. The keyboard light is on, but the CapsLock light is not responding when I hit the key. Also my external mouse it has the power light activated, however the colourful light is not responding, feels like the system is already dead or sth, I'll have to hold the power button to shut it down forcefully. I do understand that I can turn off sleep function. But it's kinda useful for me, so I'm just wondering if there's any solution based on my situation. Thank you guys SOOOO much!

I've figured the method of macOS can't initialize drives that were mounted via caddy bay

Because of macOS's problematic SATA issues, I've found the patch to these problems, by copying this to your config.plist, under the Block/Patch section, save then restart, your laptop hack should now initializes all internal drives that are presented in the laptop itself:

According to the Sanity Checker, it says

1.I can remove the tool EFI's in the Tools, which should be fine.

2.Generic - ROM says I should set the NIC MAC as my address, but it should still let me boot, right?

The rest of the entries all check out, so what could be causing so much trouble? Is my Asrock board a no-go for a hackintosh...? Sorry for being such a noob!

Here is the also the kext folder snapshot. Someone told me it was the ethernet kext, but I got a i219-V and IntelMausi downloaded for it. What am I missing...?

H/W recommendations for a new build for Hackintosh

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and purchase a new machine to develop for iOS. I'll also be at least dual booting to Ubuntu and perhaps Windows too.
I know (or think I know) from a vague memory from years past that a hackintosh requires specific hardware for compatibility.

I'm not too interested in game but I need to feed one (or preferable more) 4k monitors from the GPU.

Can any provide me links for recommended hardware? I'm still considering budget but if I dual boot it then I may use it for my new standard dev machine in general, in which case I'd consider spending more.

TechKey Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter on MacOS?

Is it possible to minimize the writes to NVRAM?

So i have a Lenovo V130-15IKB, and i got the macOS installer booting up fine on it after a bit of messing around and troubleshooting, and just recently found out OpenCore writes some variables to NVRAM. This is fine and all but if i'll have to someday, i don't feel safe resetting the NVRAM, as some Thinkpads (mine's not a thinkpad but still by Lenovo) get bricked while doing that. I could reset the NVRAM by updating the UEFI though, learned this the hard way when a UEFI update through Lenovo Vantage ended up nuking the Windows Boot Manager, that wasn't fun :P

Also I'm kinda worried about some NVRAM write nuking my firmware, but I was seeing some stuff about Emulated NVRAM but it mentions stuff you need to do on MacOS once installed. Is there any way to set it up in some other way? Also, keep in mind i'm quite paranoid and quite new to hackintoshing, so yeah, sorry for wasting your guys's time, thanks for the help in advance.

OpenCore Vanilla Wake From Sleep issue

Hi there,

Finally went from high Sierra to Catalina and did a vanilla install which as far as I can tell has been very smooth with the exception of two things. iMessage and all other iservices work fine.

DRM on AppleTV+ which I think is due to my GPU but I'm not bothered as Netflix etc all work fine.

And the dreaded sleep issues. It goes to sleep (after a longer time than High Sierra) but on wake, powers up, fans increase then idle, power to keyboard and mouse, but screen stays black and have to hard shut down.

Specs are

i7 4770k

Gigagbyte Z87x-ud5-th

Nvidia GTX770

32GB Ram

Set to iMac 15,1

Everything was great on HS but that was running Clover and I wanted to change over. Have disabled power nap and wake from lan and the other settings to no avail and though I've looked at the dortania guide in depth at fixing sleep but I think I'm struggling to follow even though the rest was okay (probably because it went smoothly!).

Can anyone help or point me in the direction of a simple solution?

TIA,

Simon

Noob Hackintosher here, need help on getting wireless working

Just got Hackintosh Mojave running on my pc, but it does not recognize my wifi card. I have an ASUS PCE-ac55bt card. After doing some research, it seemed that this is widely unsupported for Mac. However, I’ve run across some .kext ‘s that look promising. Still, I’m a little wary of just throwing some kexts into multibeast or kextwizard without knowing what I’m doing. So here’s the question: is it possible to get WiFi running through this card in Mojave? Are there any tricks I can do to make the system think this card is a supported card? //side note: if it isn’t possible, could I get Bluetooth running through this card? That would enable me to tether from my iPhone, which is not recognized as a usb internet device for reasons that are beyond me.

Right now I have internet (with PDAnet), but it has a bandwidth cap, so that is a short term solution.

Just curios, due to Apple TV having ARM CPU, A10X for 4K version, will it be possible to run arm build of macOS with custom bootloader? I mean there are differences how RAM works, and the cpu itself lacking a lot of stuff (extra SIMD, Neural Engine e.t.c.). But maybe there is a way folks from OpenCore know the answer for sure?

SATA drives not visible in installer.

Hey! I am trying to run mac os Big Sur on my pc..... everything is fine and I can reach the installer (got some errors but it got solved). The problem is I cannot use my usb mouse. My PS2 keyboard works but the mouse doesn't. I think usb ports are not been detected....

So I tried to install catallina and I can go to the installer as well. But here the problem is I cannot see the drives in disk utility. I tried all the kexts one by one for the disk problem mentioned in the guide but no luck... But if I run high seirra installer I can see all the drives in disk utility. I think this is because high seirra is officially supported on my hardware.
