What is Vanilla Hackintosh?

Manufactured largely by hand in accordance with age-old traditions, Mac Baren's Vanilla Roll Cake features a wrapper of whole leaf Virginias, with additional Virginias, modern Cavendish and a touch of burley. Further enhancing the natural sweetness of the Virginias is a subtle casing of premium, Madagascar vanilla. Piquant and yet smooth.
Vanilla will never nag you to upgrade, but if you’d like, you can unlock the Pro version to reach peak Mac minimalism. Perfect your menu bar by completely hiding icons; Hide any app icon from your Mac’s menu bar; Compatible with light and dark menu bars; Automatically hide icons again after five seconds.
With Bartender you can: Make an extra action bar that is 3 rows of 4 icons (so that it is the same as the buttons on the side of the Naga). Put all your Naga spells and keybinds on that bar. If you want you can then use the visibility setting to make it invisible until you roll over it.

A post shared by @ louthebartender on Apr 6, 2018 at 12:45pm PDT Miki Nikolic, beverage director at The Double Dealer in New Orleans I love honey and vanilla. MacOS: We love Bartender, the $21 app that lets you hide menu bar items of your choice. But there’s a simpler, cheaper app that does the same thing. Vanilla hides your menu bar items for just $7. And you can try it for free.

There are 2 popular ways to install macOS into non-Apple hardware. First is to use a universal installer to install a “modified” version of macOS (ex. Multibeast/Unibeast, etc.) This is the easiest way to build a hackintosh for beginners since the installer does most of the jobs for you. And another one is “Vanilla” install (like Vanilla JavaScript) which you have to prepare all the required kernel extensions and setup configuration file from scratch. Then place them into a separated EFI partition, leaving macOS main partition intact and identical to a real Mac.

Why Vanilla Method?

Multibeast/Unibeast method modify the macOS by placing all the kernel extensions or “kexts” inside (/system/library/extensions) along with some other modifications. This works well for most of the time but there are some catches.

Updating macOS could break or remove your hackintosh config
Since OS partition is tampered, you can’t use it to boot with real Mac or any other vanilla hackintosh
Limited options to troubleshoot your Mac since everything has been done by the Multibeast. When something’s broken, you are clueless where to start looking.
Limited options for a unique/unsupported hardware build (ex. Ryzen-Hackintosh)
You’ll miss the opportunity to learn about boot process, EFI, Clover, how to setup virtual SMC, SMBIOS, etc.

Vanilla hackintosh don’t have this problem because all the kexts and configurations will be placed in EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) partition which is separate from OS partition. When booting up, these kexts and information will be injected into macOS to make it think it’s running on Apple’s hardware. Thus you’ll get an identical (or almost identical) experience with using a real Mac.

Understanding Hackintosh Boot Process

When you power up a real Mac, a system management controller chip (aka “SMC“) will send information of all your hardware to macOS. This is to ensure the OS that it’s running on a genuine Apple machine and also provide the hardware configuration. Since hackintosh doesn’t have SMC, we’ll need to fake it. And here comes our first and mandatory kexts for all hackintosh – “FakeSMC”

To inject the information and kexts into macOS, we’ll need “Clover” boot manager. First Clover will allow macOS to load its bootloader, then start injecting the “fake” info and kexts. Clover allows you to customize boot arguments, patching firmwares, changing device description/serial numbers, system parameters and several important things. It also give you an option to install multiple OS and boot them selectively. (ex. Installing Windows on drive A, macOS on drive B)

After the bootloader and SMC validation, the OS will start loading drivers. This is when we’ll inject our manually selected kexts files into the OS. If your hackintosh build has Apple supported hardware, you will only need a few kexts. For example, Intel Core series CPU, AMD RX graphic Cards and Broadcom Wifi card are known to natively supported by the macOS and don’t require any extra kexts to work. On the other hand, AMD Ryzen CPU, Nvidia cards and Realtek Wifi cards are much more tricky to setup and require several kexts to work.

The original kexts of macOS are resided in /system/library/extensions of the OS partition. But vanilla method will place all the extra kexts in EFI partition and inject them during the boot instead. This is the main difference between multibeast/unibeast and vanilla method. By leaving the OS partition intact, we’ll be able to use this partition to boot with any Mac or other vanilla hackintosh. Also all the kexts, boot argument and device configuration will be in the same place so you’ll know where to fix them when something goes wrong. And with the right kexts selection and good boot configuration, your hackintosh will work like a real Mac.

Hardware Selection

If you choose to build hackintosh from scratch, you should consider picking hardware that are supported by Apple for maximum compatibility and easier setup. You can look at Mac spec on this everymac.com and copy their build (or at least similar)

For example, I’m using Intel Core i3-9100F 3.6GHz, MSI RX570 4GB Graphic card and 16GB RAM for my build. This spec is almost identical to iMac 18,2. (i5-7500 and i3-9100F both have 4 cores and close speed)

Below is a brief guide on how to pick your hardware

CPU

Intel Core series is known to work out of the box without extra kexts needed. But if you’re aiming for a budget hackintosh using Pentium, then you’ll need NullCPUPowerManagment.kext and FakeCPUID.kext to spoof CPU ID and fool macOS that it’s running on a Core CPU.

As for Ryzen build, you’ll need extra ACPI patch. This guide is a good start.

Mainboard

It’s a great idea to pick higher end chipset like Z370 for USB-C and USB 3.1 gen2 ports. But the lower end chipset like H370 or even H310 should work perfectly fine.

RAM/Harddisk

You should have at least 8GB RAM and SSD drive for your hackintosh. The more the better. Pick whatever your budget allows.

Graphic Card

This is very important. All Nvidia cards will NOT work with any macOS higher than High Sierra (10.13) So if you want to install Mojave or Catalina, use AMD card or Intel iGPU instead. AMD RX560 and RX570 is a very good budget choice while Vega 64 and RX 5700 XT series are for performance build. There are some AMD card brands you should avoid based on community compliant such as AFOX, XFX, PowerColor and HIS. Also please note that RX550 is not supported.

WiFi

Most of the Broadcom chipset PCIe WiFi card work out of the box. BCM94360 and BCM94352Z are known chipsets that work perfectly with hackintosh. You should choose a WiFi card that has Bluetooth capability in order to make AirDrop works. Intel chipsets don’t work with hackintosh at all and there is no workaround yet. Try to stick with Broadcom and you’ll be fine.

Here is a very cheap Broadcom card that I use with my hackintosh. WiFi and Air Drop works perfectly!

Note: Currently there is no Apple machine that support 802.11ax standard. So we’re stuck with ac card for now.
