MacOS 13.0 Ventura Beta 1 on ASUS UX333 WORKS!

MacOS 13.0 Ventura Beta 1 on ASUS UX333 WORKS!

About Mac with Intel Power Gadget report

Specifications:

Intel Core i5-8265U

Intel UHD Graphics 620

8 GB LPDDR3 RAM

WDC SN520 256 GB NVMe SSD - 2 partitions (Monterey and Ventura)

Running macOS Version 13.0 Beta (22A5266r) using OC 0.8.2 DEBUG

Stage manager is working

What works:

-WiFi and Bluetooth (tried the alpha version of Airportitlwm, but iSwitched back to itlwm because ventura airportitlwm doesn't work on Monterey, which wouldn't even boot)

-Proper CPU Power Management (low power mode works well for idle)

-Sound

-Trackpad and Keyboard backlight

-GPU Acceleration

-Sleep

-Stage manager (animation is a bit laggy, but hey, it works!)

-HDMI

What doesn't work:

-Airdrop

-Webcam (has never worked anyway)

-SD Card (didn't bother fixing it)

Untested:

-Sidecar

Overall, everything that works with Monterey works here too

Performance and battery is \slightly* worse compared to 12.0, but for a beta ( and the first one at that), I'm amazed by how well it works!*

How I got it to work along with hurdles I had gone through:

-> AvoidRuntimeDefrag --> False ; However, I had to set it back to true after the first phase of the installation, otherwise Firmware couldn't be updated error would pop up

-> additional Boot-args --> -lilubetaall -lilubeta -alcbeta -wegbeta -vsmcbeta -v

--> Apparently, you don't have to download the latest kexts when you have the beta args, but I still did it anyway just to be sure either works

Hurdle --> IOPLATFORMRESTARTHALTACTION -> AppleSMC and reboot

Solution: Honestly, I didn't know what fixed it cuz I did a bunch of things all at once instead of applying a "fix" one at a time such as:

-Advisefeatures --> True

-NVRAM reset every installer boot

-Injecting only "essential kexts" for installation, i.e., lilu, weg, alc, hibernationfixup, cputscsync, vsmc and its tools. kb backlight patch, cpufriend, and alc294 patch were added later after the installation

-testing different framebuffers

-> First attempt was through OTA but I couldn't get it to work so I did a fresh install instead
