P50-opencore-hackintosh VS YogaSMC

Deeply appreciate u/midi1996's guide from Thinkpad P50 (P50's configuration is extremely similar to P51) https://github.com/midi1996/P50-opencore-hackintosh, and https://dortania.github.io/ of-course.

Here's a place to start: https://github.com/midi1996/P50-opencore-hackintosh

Setup and general guide here: https://github.com/midi1996/P50-opencore-hackintosh (No EFI provided and don't even ask about it, make it yourself)

I've also applied the full set of SSDT patches provided by by /u/midi1996 in the guide except for the following:

Does brightness adjustment work from Control Panel? If so, YogaSMC may be of help. Is your battery charging/showing correft status?

Fn Lock, Audio In and Out Mute, Power and Thinkdot Light Indicators (YogaSMC)

Currently I am fascinated with YogaSMC for Lenovo laptops. Although not all Lenovo can adjust the performance but you can adjust the speed of the Fan among other Functions, although I feel that it is far from reaching the Windows "Lenovo BatteryManager"

This basically gets you some OEM specific features for IdeaPads and ThinkPads. It has a charge limiter, fan control, power profiles, and tons more.

Thanks! The guide I made was for a 1080p screen device (with P530, not HD530) and sadly I didn't know people with 4K displays to work with for the guide. Indeed a lot of things are outdated in the guide but if you follow the Dortania guide then most of it is in there. I switched to BrightnessKeys kexts as soon as it hit stable and I forgot to put that in the guide, it works so well. Also checkout YogaSMC for fan control, battery limiter, hotkeys... I'll try to update the guide one day with your findings! Thanks again.
