Clover config and files for installing Hackintosh on ASUS GL753VD notebook (tested on ASUS FX753VD-GC256T (aka GL753VD))

Not works:

• Touchpad (it may works after installing VoodooI2CELAN.kext)
• Discrete video (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050)
• Keyboard lighting setting (I tried to compile my own firmware files according to https://github.com/hieplpvip/AsusSMC/wiki/Installation-Instruction, but I got an "AE_ALREADY_EXIST" error)
• Sleep (will never works on integrated video, at least according to ctich's message: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=84979&view=findpost&p=95445635)
• Storages in external boxes, connected through USB
• Many other Fn keys

Not tested:

• HDMI connecting
• miniDisplayPort connecting
• USB-C connecting
• SMBIOS-dependent apps (iMessage, App Store, etc.)

UEFI Settings:

• Go to Advanced Mode (F7)
• In Advanced tab:

1. Internal Pointing Device - Enabled;
2. Wake On Lid Open - Enabled;
3. Intel Virtualization Technology - Enabled;
4. Intel AES-NI - Enabled;
5. VT-d - Enabled

• In USB Configuration section of Advanced tab:

1. Legacy USB Support - Enabled (it's necessary for booting from USB drive prepared via BootDiskUtility);
2. USB Mass Storage Driver Support - Enabled

• In Graphics Configuration section of Advanced tab:

1. DVMT Pre-Allocated: 64MB

• In SATA Configuration section of Advanced tab:

1. SATA Mode Selection: AHCI

• In Boot tab:

1. CSM Support - Disabled;
2. Launch PXE OpROM policy - Disabled;
3. Boot Option Priorities - Leave it as is, you can boot from USB drive via Boot Menu (press Esc during splashscreen)

• In Security tab:

1. Go to Secure Boot section;
2. Secure Boot Mode - Disabled (both Clover and OpenCore uses unsigned bootx64.efi, not sure about the latter, though)

• In Save & Exit tab:

1. Select Save Changes and Exit and then confirm saving and rebooting in the modal window

Notes:

• You can surf the Internet and watch videos on WLAN connection, but uploading/downloading files and streaming will be pain in the ass.
• Sound from 3,5mm jack sounds too distorted, headphones are better connect through an external sound card.
• Internal speakers will not works if you restarted in macOS from Windows; also sound from it sounds too flat (possibly because of nonworking auxiliary ICESound audio card).
• Sometimes graphic artifacts may appear, but it also occur on preinstalled Windows 10 Home SL (after reinstalling Windows I didn't see any graphic artifacts).
• Airplane Mode indicator will always turned on regardless of current Airplane Mode state on real system (seems like ACPI bug).
• After installing, macOS creates the hidden boot entry named "Mac OS X". If you're going to reinstall the macOS, remove this entry through x64-version of BootICE in advance, otherwise you won't be able to boot into Setup Utility.

Tested on macOS 10.15.7 Catalina. I do not guarantee that my config will works on macOS 11.0 Big Sur, at least at this moment of time.
