OS X on DELL M3800 and XPS15 (9530)

This project targets at giving the relatively complete functional OS X for both Dell Precision M3800 and XPS15 9530. Before you start, there's a brief introduction of how to finish power up OS X on your laptop:

1. Create a vanilla installation disk(removable disk)
2. Install Clover with UEFI only and UEFI64Drivers to the installation disk just created
3. Replace the origin Clover folder with the one under my Git/M3800/CLOVER
4. Patch bios to unlock bios menu
5. BIOS: set Advanced/CFG Lock = Disabled, System Agent (SA) Configuration/Graphics Configuration/Graphics Configuration/DVMT Pre-Allocated = 128MB, Advanced/SATA Operation = AHCI. To improve battery life, set Advanced(unlocked Menu)/CPU Configuration/LakeTiny Feature = Enabled.
6. Install OS X
7. Once you finish installation of OS X, you can do the following to finish the post installation of OS X:

How to use deploy.sh?

Download the latest version installation package/directory by entering the following command in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/syscl/M3800

This will download the whole installation directory to your current directory(./) and the next step is to change the permissions of the file (add +x) so that it can be run.

chmod +x ./M3800/deploy.sh

Run the script in a terminal windows by(Note: You should dump the ACPI tables by pressing F4/Fn+F4 under Clover first and then execute the following command lines):

cd M3800
./deploy.sh

Reboot your OS X to see the change. If you have sound problem, run the deploy.sh again to update the HDA.

Change Log

2016-3-19

• Used "eject" command line to boost the mount disk progress upon sleep, faster than ever! No more external devices lost upon sleep. (c) syscl/lighting/Yating Zhou

2016-3-18

• Fixed issue that external devices ejected improperly upon resume from sleep credit syscl/lighting/Yating Zhou. (More details should be found [here] (https://github.com/syscl/Fix-usb-sleep).

2016-3-13

• Added magic number "01470c02" as PMheart/neycwcy10's suggestion to try to fix the issue #10.
• Refined configdata from dump codec from linux.
• Enable BT4LE-Handoff-Hotspot by kextstopatch.

2016-3-11

• Finally, M3800/XPS15(9530) can use ig-platform-id 0x0a2e0008(OS Version >= 10.10.2) with the lid wake function after sleep(credit syscl/lighting/Yating Zhou).
• Huge style change! We don't have to reboot 2x due to the change of ig-platform-id! Once you update your OS X(do not reboot), and run the deploy.sh again, then, you can enjoy every functions of OS X you want.
• If you have sound card problem, run the deploy.sh again and reboot to see if it can fix the problem.
• Removed FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext since we have a better way to power up the HDMI audio.

2016-3-6

• Added 4K(3840 x 2160) support for M3800 credit SimplyLab(see issue #6).
• Changed config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel = false to fix installation stucks at booting stage.(Wait for feedback).
• Changed config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch/AppleIntelFramebufferAzul for enabling port 0x05 DP to HDMI (87000000 - > 06000000).

2016-2-17

• Improved the configuration of ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext/Contents/config.plist and ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext/Contents/config.plist:
• Set FinerFnBrightnessControl = NO and FinerFnVolumeControl = NO such that Keyboard performs/mute brightness and volume as OS X.
• 3 finger swipe up = Open Mission Control.
• 3 finger swipe down = Open Launchpad.
• 3 finger swipe left = Switch Previous Application.
• 3 finger swipe right = Switch Next Application.
• 4 finger swipe up = Hide all Windows/Applications.
• 4 finger swipe down = Hide current Window/Application.
• 4 finger swipe left = Back.
• 4 finger swipe right = Go.
• 4 finger pinch = Open Mission Control.
• 5 finger pinch = Open Dashboard.
• My next step is going to find more details of touchpad of M3800/XPS9530 under Linux to make the ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext more comfortable to use than ever. (Coming soon!)
• Another problem is that after a full sleep, I can't reproduce the fix I made to fix the HP lose sound problem after a cold boot, really boring since I usually plug in HP all the time. I'm finding new way to fix this annoying problem. (After extensive explore, I believe this bug is produced by AppleHDA, since there's no such problem under Windows and Linux. Actually, Linux has this bug, but it can be fixed through a re-plugged-in HP.)

2016-2-12

• Sync vbourachot's repo to fix the headphone distortion (credit vbourachot)

2016-2-5
