CPUFriend VS Legacy-Kexts

Do you mind trying to deactivate AppleCpuFmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock in your config.plist (Kernel) but also add those 2 kext : https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/190 (CpuFriendDataProvider.kext) along with its dependency CpuFriend.kext? https://github.com/acidanthera/CPUFriend

How are you doing your power management? Have you tried CPUFriend ??

First time i've actually had to use CPUFriend in OC as I couldn't get any sort of reasonable battery life or power management. Also the first Dell Laptop i've done that wasn't a Sandy/IvyBridge. What's working: Almost Everything - including iServices/iMessage, touchscreen w/multi-touch and gestures. SD card (via This version of the Sinetek Kext. Touchpad only has basic features. What isn't working: WWAN (not using anyways) Alps Trackpad only has basic mouse features. Wasted too much time on it. Voodoo Input/PS2 is stable.

By NPM I meant CPU power management. Since you spoof CPU (Haswell support dropped for v12), your CPU PM is off. You need CPUFriend to make it work again.

CPUFriend

Since this CPU is not from iMac15,1 family, Native CPU Power Management won't work. You may want to check CPUFriend.

Always do your research. https://github.com/acidanthera/CPUFriend

Try adding SATA-unsupported https://github.com/khronokernel/Legacy-Kexts/blob/master/Injectors/Zip/SATA-unsupported.kext.zip

I would guess SATAUnsupported.kext, but you should check here and make sure you've disabled anything unsupported, such as IRRT, hardware, etc. Again, I have no idea what your hardware and OC configs look like. Maybe start fresh, and open a new thread? You mentioned using the same files for your Clover and OC configs, and can personally tell you this rarely works right.

SATA-unsupported

For Catalina, You should use this kext instead SATA-Unsupported(opens new window)

Thanks for the tip, I tried installing SATA-unsupported.kext and AHCIPortInjector.kext

ATAPortInjector

I took a look at your EFI, and I don't see any obvious errors in the config.plist. Concerning the ACPI, I don't think a valid EC is required in macOS prior to Catalina 10.15; thus, SSDT-EC is unnecessary. Concerning the Drivers, I don't think Ps2KeyboardDxe is required. Also, why use VBoxHfs-32 instead of HfsPlus32? I am curious as to where you got most of your kexts; USBInjectAll only works on El Capitan 10.11 and above, and I don't think IOATAFamily nor SATA-unsupported are required for your laptop; does your laptop even support AHCI or SATA?. AHCIPortInjector and VoodooHDA, I'm not sure about (for the latter, I think you should be using VoodooHDA-FAT). The others look fine, though.
