Mostly working on Intel-TongFang QC7! (Weird sleep issue) about tongfang-macos HOT 3 CLOSED

1. For the sleep issue, you may need to use Hackintools to customize the USBPorts.kext for your laptop to solve the instant wake problem caused by XHC. Also apply the SSDT-GPRW.aml patch and the GPRW to XPRW ACPI rename.

2. I don't have an idea about the HID, but you may try coolstar's kernel patch to disable AppleIntelLpssI2CController, see this.

3. AppleALC kept occasionally failing to load at boot

You may need FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI._Audio.kext, then inject the proper device-id and layout-id device properties.

Apologies, I forgot to list the ACPI Patches I was using. I've already used USBMap to configure the USB ports properly, and SSDT-GPRW + ACPI Rename are installed as well.

Coincidentally, I just opened Hackintool and noticed that the laptop's Thunderbolt 3 controller also shows up as an XHC device; I'll attempt to disable it and see if that helps, this may be where the phantom XHC wakes are coming from. (now that I think about it, I've dealt with instant wakes in Windows due to the USB-C/TB port.)

As for AppleALC, I went ahead and tried it again, but this time with layout-id 88 instead of 29 (after reading your guide again) and it seems much more reliable. Thanks!

Hi, just to add more info about this laptop, I had the cover off and noticed that on the motherboard was printed the part number: MBPGK5CQ7C-T311, GK5CxxT MB v1.1

I think it may be a fair assumption that this "Intel-designed" machine is a variant of the TongFang GK5C.
