- Sleep itself is working very well, but the power button and Thinkpad LED still blink, even if awake
The provided wifi card is not compatible with macOS, so I would recommend the DW1560
Enable thunderbolt assist in BIOS for better power management, and maybe disable VT-D. Disable the devices above,
Copy the folders to your EFI, and things should work for the most part.
Some issues may occur due to hardware differences
If your audio is not working, switch layout-id in config.plist
to 0B000000
or 1F000000
Even though you may or may not have the same CPU, their configuration/profiles may be different, so generate new CPUFriend kexts for better PM.
I did very little work, mostly updating kexts and tinkering with configs for trackpad and sound Credits go to @tylernguyen (Github), @rushstrike (tonymacx86), and @cabriolet (tonymacx86)
