Initial Release.

Thinkpad T440p Hackintosh configuration. This repository contains the following folders:

• EFI: put this in your EFI partition inEFI folder, includingBoot andCLOVER sub-folders,
• EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other: kexts to install in/Library/Extensions or your local drive once macOS has been installed.

Tested on High Sierra10.13.6, Mojave10.14.6 and Catalina10.15.6.

It's a99.99% working hackintosh, including:

• Apfs andHFS disk partitions: usingApfsDriverLoader-64.efi andHFSPlus-64.efi respectively,
• Power management,Temperature sensors: Thanks toFakeSMC, which also emulates macbook pro hardware,
• Battery status: handled byACPIBatteryManager kext,
• Brightness control: Thanks toWhatEverGreen kext,
• Audio on speakers: using VoodooHDA kext,
• USB ports: custom made inside SSDT-T440p.aml & USBInjectAll kext (Thanks to rehabman & Snikii,
• Graphical acceleration (QE/CI): thanks toWhatEverGreen kext.
• Audio Jack connector,
• Intel Wi-fi working with itwlm andHeliport,
• And Display Port external display.

The bios must be properly configured prior to installing MacOS.

InSecurity menu, set the following settings:

• Security > Security Chip: must beDisabled,
• Memory Protection > Execution Prevention: must beEnabled,
• Internal Device Access > Bottom Cover Tamper Detection: must beDisabled,
• Anti-Theft > Current Setting: must beDisabled,
• Anti-Theft > Computrace > Current Setting: must beDisabled,
• Secure Boot > Secure Boot: must beDisabled.

InStartup menu, set the following options:

• UEFI/Legacy Boot:Both,
• UEFI/Legacy Priority:UEFI First,
• CSM Support:Yes.

Now you can go through the install.

The guidehow to create a macOS USB Installer Drive explains how to create a USB flash drive to install MacOs on your T440p.

Copy the content of theEFI folder provided here on your USB flash driveEFI partition. The EFI partition is usually hidden. UseClover Configurator to mount the EFI partition of your flash drive on your mac (it appears as a disk on the desktop once done).

Install macOS by booting on the USB key. It takes about 30min. The computer will restart multiple times. Make sure to selectInstall macOS ... each time. Once installed, choose to boot from local drive in Clover boot menu.

To finish the setup, you need to:

• Copy EFI folder from USB flash drive to local driveEFI partition (like you did for the USB drive). It will make the local drive bootable (so you can get ride of the USB drive now),

You're done! Reboot and enjoy macOS on your Thinpad T440p.

The problem is the following: for some reason when you write the USB from a PC (not a mac) it only writes the online installer, even though it downloads the full offline installer. Why? Good question, haven't figured out yet.Why ethernet won't work? Because in mojave / catalina, recovery it's disabled.

Solutions:

• You'll need to have a wireless network card compatible with mac, OR
• use usb tethering your wifi from your phone.

This is whyHoRNDIS.kext has been added to the kexts. Make sure to connect your android phone with an USB cable to your laptop when installing macOS. Share the phone wi-fi connection with the connected laptop.

Once macOS is installed, installHeliport and connect to your favorite wi-fi network. Add Heliport to startup programs to launch it automatically on macOS boot.

If you Sata ssd hasn't trim enabled, run the following command from theTerminal to enable it:

sudo trimforce enable

The trackpoint / Touchpad driver used here is the one fromtluck on Insanelymac.

Improving scrolling responsiveness

Turn off 'inertia' at system-pref/accessibility/mouse & trackpad/trackpad options.

InsstallSmart Scroll. under 'Scroll Wheel+' - Turn up 'Range for a single tick' to max. (this gives the appearance that scrolling becomes more sensitive)Then you can adjust the speed and inertia under the same tab.

Fix Stuttering

To solve the jittery mouse, increase the speed withBetterTouchTool to about '8'. The touchpad feels almost the same as on my MacBook now, but the scrolling is still slow and awful. I will solve it somehow!

Special thanks toRomeo Blues for these tweaks. Those definitely improve how the touchpad feels!

When using HDD in Ultrabay (instead of optical drive): installAHCIPortInjector.kext andAppleAHCIPort.kext in/Library/Extensions.

AHCIPortInjector.kext fixes theDisk not initialized issue (disk cannot be read).AppleAHCIPort.kext fixes the disk being detected as an external drive (instead of internal).

For FHD (1920x1080) panels, I recommend to installOne Key HiDPI.

Once the upgrade complete, make sure to rebuild the kext cache to fix brightness control issue, by running in Terminal:

sudo kextcache -i /

Then reboot.

Make sure to followingthis guide to configure iMessage, iCloud and Facetime properly.

To fix get the card reader working on T440P, do the following (thank you to NoobsPlanet for the initial guide which I have modified specifically for the T440P):

• Open Finder and Goto S/L/E (System/Library/Extensions) and look for AppleStorageDriver.kext and copy this kext to Desktop
• Right Click in AppleStorageDriver.kext located at Desktop and select Show Package Contents and navigate to Contents > Plugins > Then findAppleUSBCardReader.kext,
• Right Click onAppleUSBCardReader.kext and select Show package Contents.
• Navigate to Contents and you'll find Info.plist,
• Right Click on Info.plist and open with Xcode or Plist Editor to edit a file.
• FindIOKitPersonalities > AppleSDCardReader > Physical Interconnect Location and then edit Physical Interconnect Location value section as External,
• Again find Vendor Identification and change value section to "Generic Reader by NoobsPlanet",
• Again find Apple_Internal_SD_Card_Reader_1_00 and edit sting value idProduct and idVenedor to decimal idProduct and idVendor, you can find Product ID and Vendor ID information in System Info into HEX value, so you need to convert it to Decimal Value. You can convert it online throughhttps://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-t. On my T440P Product ID is 5227 and the HEX value is 21031. The Vendor ID is 10EC and the Hex value is 4332.
• Again find Apple_Internal_SD_Card_Reader_2_00 and edit the string value idProduct and idVendor to decimal value. (Use the same decimal value we did in above step)
• Make sure you change value for Physical Interconnect Location on Apple_internal_SD_Card_Reader_1_00 and Apple_Internal_SD_Card_Reader_2_00 to External
• Rename extension of original AppleStorageDriver.kext to .old
• Save the edited file and Copy AppleStorageDriver.kext and paste it into /System/Library/Extensions/ and replace the kext if asked.
• Open Terminal and fix permission and rebuild Kernel cache with following commands :

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions&& sudo touch /Library/Extensions&& sudo kextcache -u /

Reboot and enjoy working memory card!
