# Dell Latitude 5490 and 5590 OpenCore 0.8.1

Dell Latitude 5490 and 5590

Tested to clean Install Mojave, Catalina, Big Sir, and Monterey
my wifi card is BCM94360ng (5490) and Intel 8265ngw (5590)

please add your own PLATFORM INFO, with https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS, im using MacBookPro15,2 SMBIOS. But you can use any SMBIOS from MBP14,1 through MBP16,1

# Guides and sources:

I followed [Dortania's OpenCore Guide](https://dortania.github.io/)

Then also took some files from [franklin-gedler repo](https://github.com/franklin-gedler/Dell-Latitude-7490-OpenCore-Big-Sur)

Last I followed [OC Little Translated by 5T33Z0](https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated)

# My Specs:

- Model Make: Dell Latitude 5490/5590

- CPU/GPU: Intel i5-8350u (5490) and i5-8250u (5590)/Intel UHD Graphics 620

- DRAM: 32GB (2x16GB) 2400MHZ DDR4 RAM on 5590, the 5490 has 24GB (16GB+8GB)

- Storage: 1TB MX500 Crucial SSD 2.5" (Files) (sata port) + 256GB WD SN520 NVME 2242 (Windows) (via wwan slot) + 1TB Crucial P5 2280 (nvme slot) (MacOS-Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey)

- Connections: BCM94360ng/Intel 8265ngw BT+Wifi card - I219-LM Intel Ethernet

- 3x USB 3.1 Gen1 (one with PowerShare) - DisplayPort over USB Type-C(optional Thunderbolt 3(1)

# What works on MacOS:

- KeyBoard+Trackpad full (SSDT-GPI0.aml + AlpsHID.kext,VooDooI2C.kext,VooDooI2cHID.kext, VooDooPS2Controller.kext, NoTouchID.kext)

- Graphics Full Aceleration, VGA and HDMI (Plug.aml, Lilu.kext, VirtualSMC.kext, WhateverGreen.kext)

- A type USB USB Port Map kext, USB-C | DP DisplayPort - (USB Port Map kext + SSDT-EC-USBX-LAPTOP.aml + Graphic Patch)

- Brightness+Audio keys (SSDT-PNLF.aml + BrightnessKeys.kext)

- Battery Read-Outs (SSDT-AC.aml, ECEnabler.kext, SMCBatteryManager.kext, ACPIBatteryManager.kext) it actually worked without any patch or kext, but battery life was very poor, I went on with patching, now it lasts 5 hours.

- Edit: I realised that mds_stores (aka SpotLight) indexing was using too much CPU thus using too much power, making it hot and draining the battery... solution: in terminal, type: "sudo mdutil -a -i off" to disable indexing... now is running cool 43 to 45 degrees; the fan now is off, must of the time!!!! --- solution posted by Posted by u/jnr0602 on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/vz2lfq/success_macos_monterey_124_on_a_2021_razer_blade/)

- TouchSreen also works on Catalina, Big Sur and Monterrey, only remapped USB ports and boom, like a charm.

- Power Management (SSDT-EC-USBX-LAPTOP.aml, SSDT-HPET.aml, SSDT-PLUG.aml, CPUFriend+CPUFriendDataProvider kexts)

- Wifi + Bluetooth no kext needed for BCM94360NG /AirportItlwm.kext+IntelBluetooth firmware and injector kext for Intel 8265ngw

- Conexion LAN (IntelMausi.kext)

- SDCard Reader (RealtekCardREader+RealtekCardReaderFriend kexts)

- Audio: Speakers and Microphone (AppleAlc.kext alcid11 + HPET aml) ComboJack (PostInstall\ComboJack-fixforDell + VerbStub.kext) it fixes the audio distortion via wired headphones and aux audio. (I had to disable SIP in order to install, then enabled back).

# I included a file (pcidevices.aml) wich has all pci devices config needed for DeviceProperties

# This is a WORK IN PROGRESS, please let me know any problem you may have, or any suggestions.

There are other patches for correcting sleep issues, and making macOS believe that os running on a real MacBookPro, like ALSD, DMAC, EXT3-WAKESCREEN, GPIO, GPRW, MCHC, MEM2, PCMR, PTWAKKTS, and so on.

# Note: when connected to the charger it wakes up right after sleep, but if I detach charger, sleep and waking up works ok, just by closing and opening the laptop.

# Before installation you must do 2 things: 1st. Bios Config, 2nd. Config Modification via GrubShell: (Credits to franklin-gedler)

# Bios Config:

Boot mode: UEFI

Fast Boot: Minimal

SecureBoot = Disable

SATA Mode: AHCI

Intel SGX: Software Controlled

# Now we start the pendrive and select modGRUBShell.efi or OpenShell.efi (Be carefull with the commands):

CFG Lock = Disable
    (VarOffset/VarName): 0x52D
    VarStore: 0x1
    Name: Setup
    
    Command for modGRUBShell.efi: setup_var_cv Setup 0x52D 0x1 0x0
____________________________________________________________________

DVMT Pre-Allocated = 64MB
    (VarOffset/VarName): 0x804
    VarStore: 0x1
    Name: Setup
    
    Command for modGRUBShell.efi: setup_var_cv Setup 0x804 0x1 0x2
____________________________________________________________________

DVMT Total Gfx Mem = Max
    (VarOffset/VarName): 0x805
    VarStore: 0x1
    Name: Setup
    
    Command for modGRUBShell.efi: setup_var_cv Setup 0x805 0x1 0x3
____________________________________________________________________

VT-d = Disable
    (VarOffset/VarName): 0x808
    VarStore: 0x1
    Name: Setup
    
    Command for modGRUBShell.efi: setup_var_cv Setup 0x808 0x1 0x0
    
    
    After this we can reboot and then install.
    
    
    
# Battery Life History:
    
Lenovo X220t, T440s, t450s, E570 - High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur - 1 hour to 1.5 hours

Dell Latitude 5490/5590 - Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey - 2 to 2.5 hours

# I took my time with the Dell Latitude 15 5590:

a) Replaced the 68whr battery with a 92whr one.
b) Followed the guide above, to make macOS think that is runnig on real macbookpro15,1 screen shot
c) Tested 4 differents macOS versiones beggining in Mojave. these are the results on Battery Life:

- Mojave 10.4.1 - 10.14.6 Office Work (Word and PowerPoint), Video Watching and Internet Surfing 3.5 to 4 hours
- Catalina 10.15.3 - 10.15.7 Office Work (Word and PowerPoint), Video Watching and Internet Surfing 4 to 4.5 hours
- Big Sur 11.0.1 - 11.6.5 Office Work (Word and PowerPoint), Video Watching and Internet Surfing 5 hours on 11.2.3-11.6.5 and 6-6.5 hours on 11.0.1
- Monterey 12.0.1 - 12.4 Office Work (Word and PowerPoint), Video Watching and Internet Surfing 7 hours on 12.1-12.4 , 12 to 15 hours on 12.0.1
- Windows 10 21H2   7 hous

* it seems to me that with time, systems are more energy efficient....
Also Monterey gave me more battery options:

- "Slightly dim the display while on battery power"
- "Optimize video streaming while on battery"
- "Optimize battery charging"
- "Low power mode"

Also a Dell Technician told me, that Dell Laptops board internal drivers, play better with Kingston and Crucial RAM and with Crucial NVME and SATA SSDs, so I install 2x16gb Crucial 2400mhz DDR4 sodimm RAM modules, 1x1tb mx500 crucial sata ssd and 1tb P5 crucial nvme ssd (Crucial advertises 40% less power consumption).

I hope this information helps.... if you have the same model...
