I posted this in the old forum last month before having to do some traveling, but I still have a couple head-scratchers I'm hoping somebody's figured out. Now that I'm back at my desk, I'm looking forward to checking out the updates in the guide and doing some hackintosh maintenance.
Thanks to Apophis for the hot tip on " https://github.com/acidanthera/HibernationFixup with -hbfx-disable-patch-pci boot flag" - I haven't had a chance to try this out regarding sleep/wake functionality, but looking forward to giving it a shot, but not familiar with the process of compiling this kext myself.
My hurdle right now is bluetooth functionality - I suspect I may have conflicting bluetooth hardware between my motherboard and the Fenvi T919, but I haven't figured out how to troubleshoot that quite yet. In addition to the "turn off bluetooth" option being greyed out, I have issues discovering new devices. It seems to be very hit or miss and often doesn't work. Now that the Vanilla Guide has more robust info on this, I am going to try another attempt at remapping my USB to address this (I believe Fenvi T919 is on USB controller...) - let me know if I'm on the right track?

I sold my old iMac and built this PC to have some beefier hardware for audio/video work and I realized I really missed running MacOS. This was my first PC build and didn't intend to Hackintosh at first. After dual booting Windows and Ubuntu for a few months, I decided to give it a shot when I realized I owned the compatible hardware:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X
Cooler: Wraith Prism
Motherboard: MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC
RAM: 32GB G.SKILL TridentZ DDR4 3000 (2 x 16GB)
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 590 8GB
Bluetooth & Wifi: Fenvi T919 PCIe
Case: NZXT H510
In addition to everything in the install/post-install guide, I did the following:
This was an adventure, but everything feels very stable right now. I've spent some time in Premiere, Photoshop, Pro Tools, Resolve and all feels gooood. However, I have a few lingering issues / questions:
Cinebench Singlecore: 487
Geekbench Multicore: 7857
Geekbench Singlecore: 1271
Geekbench OpenCL: 34051
Geekbench Metal: 54575

In addition to everything in the install/post-install guide, I did the following:
- Corrected AMD CPU name in System Info
- Added "RadeonBooster.kext" for good measure
This was an adventure, but everything feels very stable right now. I've spent some time in Premiere, Photoshop, Pro Tools, Resolve and all feels gooood. However, I have a few lingering issues / questions:
- Mobo Intel LAN isn't working, even with "SmallTreeIntel82576.kext" - In fact, this held up my entire install because I couldn't get past the "Reinstall MacOS screen. It stated that an internet connection was required to continue. I tried Mojave instead with no luck as well, so I just ordered a Fenvi T919 which worked like a charm, plug & play. I would like the LAN to work though, so I'd appreciate any insight here.
- The option to "turn off bluetooth" is greyed out. Is there a fix for this?
- Sleep/Wake isn't working, after the first couple "wake to black screen" issues, I simply disabled sleep. Anyone know where to find the fix?
- I got locked out of iServices using a "throwaway" Apple ID, but (inadvertently) logged in successfully to iCloud with my main Apple ID. Sidecar shows only a black screen on iPad - anyone know where to find the fix?
