A user of MacEfiRom released a couple of tools for macs: 1) Upgrade utility to upgrade imac4,1 firmware to imac5,1, this allows you to upgrade imac4,1 with core2duo cpu and install more than 2GB memory, so you can install and use Lion on it 2) Upgrade utility to upgrade 2006 MacPro1,1 with firmware of MacPro2,1, this brings support for some CPUs to MP1,1 3) Tutorial for installing Chameleon on a Mac, so you can boot 64-bit kernel on a Mac with 32-bit efi and 64-bit cpu.

OSx86 (from Mac OS X and x86) is a collaborative hacking project to run the Mac OS X computer operating system on non-Apple personal computers with x86 architecture and x86-64 compatible processors. The effort started soon after the June 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference announcement that Apple would be transitioning its personal computers from PowerPC to Intel microprocessors. A computer built to run this type of Mac OS X is also known as a Hackintosh, a portmanteau of the word "hack" and the name of Apple's main brand of computers, Macintosh. Hackintoshed notebook computers are also referred to as "Hackbooks". The Apple software license does not allow Mac OS X to be used on a computer that is not "Apple-branded". The legality of this form of tying is disputed by companies such as Psystar, Bizon computer, PearC and MacPC who have attempted to release products using Mac OS on non Apple-machines. However, Apple claims the methods it uses to prevent M...

Managing fonts on the Mac is incredibly easy regardless of what system software version you are using. We’lll cover the process of installing new fonts, deleting unwanted ones, and also restoring your default system fonts in case you mess something up. Installing New Fonts in Mac OS X Installing new fonts is very easy. All you need to do is: Double-click on the font.ttf file Click on “Install Font” When you double click on a font file, other than being able to install it, you’ll also see a font character preview showing the font face. This window will also let you preview any stylized versions (bold, italic, etc) of the font that are available and tell you if it’s installed or not. This is done through the Font Book app, which can also be launched separately to manage your typefaces. Removing Fonts from Mac OS X Installed an ugly font and decide you don’t want it anymore? Back in Font Book we can easily uninstall them: Launch Font Book (located in /Applications/) and use the Search fun...

Change Log from L1 to L2: - 10.7.2 main system > Finally, Lion main system is completely OK for this release, though we are running it on real Macs. We discovered that previous release L1 and most retail installations starting from 10.7.0 have problems, especially for sandybridge hardware, tested on real Macs.. Upgrade installations from Snow Leopard are OK but they work slower than usual. :arrow:I recommend iATKOS L2 release or retail installs using only the full 10.7.2 retail package. - Bootloaders updated > Chameleon 2.1 svn r1650, Chimera 1.6 - DVD boot > updated to Chameleon 2.1 svn r1650, patched IOPCIFamily driver added, Non-AHCI ICHX SATA/IDE driver added, AHCI SATA driver updated, npci=0x2000 flag added - Updated drivers, packages > /Extra/Extensions option removed AHCI SATA driver updated Intel Non-AHCI ICHX SATA/IDE driver added SSD Trim support added USB 3.0 driver updated PS/2 driver updated and laptop keyboard problem solved Laptop Battery driver added GF100 ...

Today Apple released  Mac OS X 10.7.1  the 1st major update to Mac OS X Lion. To update for any supported CPU, we recommend that you download the entire standalone installer. Download the Mac OS X 10.7.1 Update Be sure to back up any important data, and if possible clone your hard drive before applying the update. Testing is underway. Report your results in the forum  here .  What we know about 10.7.1 so far... 11.1.0 Darwin kernel New Graphics Drivers If you use edited kexts, most likely you'll have to make the edits again- or restore backups. The update will replace your  AppleHDA.kext .  If you use  ALC8xxHDA  for audio, you will have to reinstall  AppleHDA Rollback  using  MultiBeast . If you're using VoodooHDA, you will not need to make any modifications. If you use  Sleepenabler.kext , remove before updating. This post will be updated. thanx to tonymacx86.com!

Short review: OSX Lion or just simply Lion, is Snow Leopard in lion's skin. I wrote a while back, how I don't want to upgrade my hack, and I sill didn't (in  OSX Lion install problems ). Apple decided to go for iOS look and feel in few programs. Mail, iCal, FaceTime, PhotoBooth look like they are ported directly from iPad. The new way to lunch apps on mac is Launchpad, which is GREAT! Really I didn't think I will say this but, they nailed it! It really speeds things up! I don't really get Mission Control which is just a minor improvement to Expose, but Launchpad is nice! Let's think about it for a bit. The new Safari 5.1 introduced with Lion can be installed on Snow Leopard. Why? Because it is nice to have a secure and up to date browser on all systems. Wait! Wouldn't it be nice to have Lauchpad on every Snow Leopard running Mac, without the need of upgrading? As I said Lion is just like Snow Leopard with some minor tweaks here and there plus few apps in iOS...
