Lenovo-Thinkpad-T450-Hackintosh-Guide-Catalina-with-Opencore

This repo contains the installation guide and EFI files required to get a perfectly functional Catalina 10.15.7 hackintosh on your t450. Everything is stable and functional as described in this Readme

This is an update for Echo's repo. OC has been updated to 0.6.2 and all the kexts are updated to the lastet version to date. I did make some QOL changes for it. I'll try to keep the repo updated following major OC releases.

Issues (with OC 0.6.2):

  • None (Please use the EFI and report back!)

Changes I made:

  • Using VoodooRMI instead of VoodooPS2Trackpad for Touchpad/Trackpoint. I've found this to be leagues better in terms of smoothness and gestures
  • Disabled SSDT-SMBU and SSDT-Thinkpad_Clickpad patch for VoodooRMI compatibility. Also the clickpad patch didn't work for newer OC versions
  • Switched to Vanilla OC instead of the modified one
  • Added OpenCanopy support and Mac-like boot GUI
  • Switched to MacBooPro12,1 SMBIOS and tweaked Power Management for better battery life. By switching we lose Wired Sidecar but it was very laggy and often unuseable, but we gained much better power management, thus, better battery life. If you want Sidecar, you can switch back to Macbook9,1

Note: This is a fairly vanilla EFI. If you have Intel WiFi/BT Card, use OpenIntelWireless for WiFi/Bluetooth

Original Readme from Echo:

Thinkpad T450s Catalina
