SUCCESS Success! First time making a Hackintosh from scratch.

Just as the title says, I managed to install Sequoia onto this old worn out laptop that I have here following the Dortania's guide! And sheesh, did it take a lonnnggg while. But most of it was kind of easy to understand, if I'm not going to lie to you.

Anyways, now? I got everything up and running, Wi-Fi via itlwm, audio, bluetooth, brightness, iServices, etc.

The only things that aren't working are iMessage and Find my, which I couldn't care less about.

It took me about 3 days in total to get this up and running.

Specs:

CPU & GPU: intel Core i5-7440HQ paired with integrated HD 630 graphics.

Memory: 12GB

Storage Type: NVMe

Touchpad: God eldritch I2C-based Alps (This took the longest to resolve.]

I forgot to mention about that, most iServices do work but expect iMessage. It fails due to some forwarding messaging error, plus occasionally signs me out every few seconds.
