Resources for running macOS on the HP Elite X2 1012 G1

HP Elite X2 1012 G1 Hackintosh

Note: This is not a guide, merely an aid as to what this model requires. For a full guide, see here: OpenCore Install Guide

Hardware Specs:

MODEL    HP Elite X2 1012 G1
CPU:     Intel M7 6Y75
RAM:     8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3
GPU:     HD 515
AUDIO:   Conexant CX20724
Touch:   Wacom HID Based Display(WCOM4814)
WIFI:    Fenvi BCM94360NG

What's working

• macOS Mojave 10.14.6, Catalina 10.15.7 and macOS 11.0.1
• USB/C Hot-plug
• USB-C DP/HDMI Output
• Mic, speakers and headphones
• CPU Power Management
• Trackpad gestures
• HiDPI
• Bluetooth and Wifi
  • Card was swapped to BCM94360NG for better support
  • Intel 8260 can use the following:
    • itlwm
    • IntelBluetoothFirmware
• Touchscreen and pen
  • Using the Wacom Bamboo Ink Pen, all Wacom AES based pens should work with the HP Elite X2 G1 and G2
• Battery readouts
  • Includes cycle count
• Front webcam

What's not working

• Battery temperature
  • This would require either sending a PR or creating a new plugin to read _BIF readouts including those not in the ACPI spec
• GPU Based DRM
  • No iGPU has working DRM
  • Chrome plays Netflix just fine
• Micro SD card reader
  • The G1's Intel based so no drivers, unsure what the G2 runs
• Rear webcam
  • Rear camera's I2C based
  • Also why are you taking photos with a 12" tablet
• Fingerprint reader
  • My model didn't ship with one, but in general they won't work

Untested

• Thunderbolt
  • Personally don't own any Thunderbolt devices so can't test
  • Cold booting the device with ThunderboltReset and ThunderboltPkg should work
• Hibernation
  • Currently unknown where issue lies
• Pen pressure and tilt in macOS Sierra and newer
  • See here for potential fix: VoodooI2CTouchscreenIOManager
• Smartcard reader
  • Don't own or work with smartcards
• WWAN Card
  • Personally don't own any WWAN hardware so can't test
• Accelerometer and Gyro
• Light Sensor

BIOS Settings

For the most part it's pretty stock, main guys you need to change:

Built-In Device Options:

• Video memory size = 64MB
  • Our framebuffer in macOS requires 34MB minimum, otherwise it'll crash

Power Management Options:

• Wake on USB = False
  • Will get random XHC spams with this enabled

ACPI

For those curious, I've also provided an ACPI dump of my laptop(BIOS ver. 1.48 Rev.A):

• Firmware Dumps
• Custom SSDTs

Required SSDTs:

SSDT	ACPI Patches	Comments
SSDT-BAT	A lot	Fixes Battery Readouts
SSDT-EC-USBX	N/A	Creates a fake EC and adds USB Power Properties
SSDT-GPRW	GPRW to XPRW	Fix random XDCI spams
SSDT-HP-FixLidSleep	N/A	Fixes e005 keyboard spam
SSDT-PLUG	N/A	Adds plugin-type to \_PR.CPU0, allows XCPM to load
SSDT-PNLF	N/A	Adds Backlight control support
SSDT-PTS	_PTS to XPTS	Reroutes USB Shutdown calls
SSDT-SBUS-MCHC	N/A	Allows AppleSMBus and co to load
SSDT-SLPB	N/A	Fixes Sleep button support
SSDT-TBHP	_RMV to XRMV	Fixes USB-C Hot-plug
SSDT-TPL0	PS0/PS3 to XPS0/XPS3	Attempts to fix I2C touchscreen *

• Need to look into proper _PS0/_PS3 fixes for I2C

For a full list of ACPI patches, see here: patches.plist

Removing XOSI Renames:

Thanks to DhinakG, XOSI renames are no longer needed. Instead only needing the following patch:

Comment | String |  Enable Touchscreen in macOS
Find    |  Data  |  95 4F 53 59 53 0B DC 07
Replace |  Data  |  95 4F 53 59 53 0B 00 00

Kexts

Hardware specific kexts:

• VoodooI2C
• VoodooI2CHID
• AlpsT4USB
  • A prebuilt for the latest(7faceb9) can be found here: AlpsT4USB.kext

  • APPL,ig-platform-id | Data | 00001E19
    • Apple uses 03001E19 on lower end MacBooks(M3)
    • M7 failed to boot with this so try either and see which works best for you

TO-DO

Low Priority:

• Look into temperature monitoring in SSDT-BATS
• Add info on XOSI alternative
• Install El Capitan 10.11 and test pen pressure

Question about CPU PM

I'm not sure whether my board is faulty or this CPU behaves like that, but it has a strange CPU power management.
Under full load the frequency drops to 1-1,1 GHz and becames laggy, but boosts when the CPU usage is much lower.
Maybe there are some BIOS settings I need to change? Tried switching Power Control etc. but couldn't find the culprit.
Currently using Big Sur but was happening in Catalina as well.

Active pen not working in Ventura

The active pen will not work on Ventura. Do you know a fix for that?

Battery cycles

Hi cant seem to get battery cycles to work.
Can you help?? My os is Monterey
Regards

Keyboard is not working, touchpad(mouse) is OK.
ACPI aml files and patchs already inported.
did u just inject VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID to make all the input device work?
