Change it as you want. The change is permanent as a new value is written in a keyboard's controller registry.NOTE: oddly, you can't revert to the original 10s timeout. Such a loss.A note on SpeedShift (aka HWP aka Intel SST), XPCM and OS-driven Power management in general:With vanilla SSDTs, Power Management (CPU+GPU) works beautifully.I strongly advise you not to try HWP until we better understand it.XPS line laptops is plagued with unrecoverable filesystem corruption and that seems to be triggered by changes in hibernatemode status or other deep-idle states that may be related to HWP, non-native NVME patches or other power management settings.Don't be brave if you rely on this laptop for work, stick with my files until further notice. Trust me on this.Many of you suggest to implement non-HWP OS-driven Power Management (with P states injected via SSDPrGen, using a non-HWP SMBIOS). In this particular system, in my opinion it is not required. All the CPU and GPU C+P states are reached without the need of any tweak.

The system is responsive, way faster than on Windows, and has superb battery life. After many months of experiments with HWP and SSDTs, I found no proof of any battery nor performance advantage by using these tweaks. Here's the thermal scan for my Toshiba drive.

Among the many cables that run through a (compliant) USB-C cable, there are some lanes that work natively as USB 3.1 data lanes.

Buckminster fuller cosmography pdf. He also received the 1968 Gold Medal Award of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.

These lanes can be switched to other functionalities (aka 'alternate modes') if requested by an active adapter. DisplayPort alternate mode works out of the box, providing us with full external monitor functionality. You just need a cheap USB-C - HDMI/DP adapter that supports the alternate mode. A note on USB-C charging (aka USB Power Delivery aka USB PD):Here's a really good news: we can charge this laptop with increasingly-common USB PD chargers.USB Power Delivery is a standard aimed at providing different voltages/currents on the same USB-C cable, after a digital negotiation between the host (the adapter) and the client (the laptop).This laptop natively charges at 20V/2.25A, but it is able to accept less current, also supporting the 20V/1.5A profile.That's very good because you can carry a very small wall adapter with you and still charge it, even while using it.

Since USB-PD is a young standard, many adapters on the market now - even some of the most famous ones - do not negotiate the current properly and they tend to burn or overheat because they syndicate more current than they're able to deliver. Use a charger only after you are sure it is able to correctly negotiate the 20V/1.5A profile or above. Read the reviews and do your own research.To check how much current your charger syndicates during the handshake, open BIOS settings and go to battery details. You'll see how much power the laptop will draw from the PSU. If that value is higher than the advertised power of the charger, throw it away immediately.Note: on 30W chargers, you'll notice 5-10% reduced peak multicore performance, as 'TDP-UP' CPU states will be disabled/decreased to reduce peak CPU power consumption to 15W max.Another good news is that USB PD is reversible. Sudo pmset -g custom grep 'hibernatemode standby autopoweroff '= All the rest: Do your research and don't be the first-on-the-line to upgrade.Further notes:- Kaby Lake architecture and IPC are the same as Skylake. 10.12.6 finally does support Kaby Lake natively, and thanks to this, we get more performance and more battery life compared to our previous method of spoofing our Kaby Lake architecture to Skylake.- DVMT patching is used instead of kext hotpatching as it's tricky to patch the framebuffer via Clover if it drops out of cache.

Patching DVMT is dangerous. Do your research!- No HWPEnabler kext nor Clover HWPEnable nor SSDPrGen are used. Paired with Macbook9,1 SMBIOS the system is snappy and CPU+GPU power management works pretty well.- As many DELL machines, 9360 suffers from SMBIOS truncation bug, so Macbook9,1 is used. Clover has recently introduced a flag to overcome this limitation. If you want to USE a SMBIOS longer than Macbook9,1, enable that flag.- Current BIOS 1.3.7 seems to break sleep for some systems.

In that case, downgrade to 1.3.5.- Current BIOS 1.3.7 might not be compatible with IFR extractor. In that case, downgrade to 1.3.5.- New BIOS in the future = ideally, no need to patch ACPI again, as everything is hotpatched.- HFSPlus.efi driver is not included in attached files for obvious reasons. Do your research.- Standby is very deep, seems to lose just 1% battery every 3 hours, even with USB Powershare enabled in BIOS.- The trackpad sensitivity and precision are horrible. The worst trackpad I ever used. But we managed to find a very good solution!- To disable/enable the trackpad while using an external pointing device, press PrtScr key on internal keyboard (fantastic undocumented feature of RM VoodooPS2Controller).- The webcam white LED correctly shuts down when the app using the camera is closed, thanks to a custom kext injection.- I didn't install RM VoodooPS2Controller daemon as I don't need trackpad auto-disable when external mouse is connected.- I prefer to leave S/L/E almost vanilla, so all the kext are injected via Clover. I know that some kexts don't like on-the-fly injection, but I didn't encounter issues so far.- Custom keyboard layout is created with Ukelele app, and matches Euro and Rupee symbols on ANSI-INTL English keyboards. For different layouts, create your own layout.- Complete the iMessage configuration with proper system serials before connecting to the internet for the first time.- With battery level below 20%, CPU package TDP may be hard-limited to 15W, even with the charger connected, so performance will be slightly reduced.

Do benchmarks with full battery!- Trivia Dell's Fn+F7 'Unobtrusive Mode' is pretty cool.- Trivia Dell's Fn+Ins puts the system into standby.- Trivia Dell's Ctrl+Ins shuts down the system.- Trivia The laptop can be fast-charged in 1 hour by enabling 'Fast Charging' in BIOS. Not recommended, faster battery wear will occur.- Trivia The IGZO display in this laptop, compared to standard IPS ones, saves 30-40% of power while displaying moving images and up to 90% while displaying still images.STEPSThoroughly inspect all the files in my archive:I placed some dummy, empty files across the folders, to give you hints on some actions you have to do.These files always start with '.

This is a MUST for systems running the NVME 512b patches and you have to check it is still disabled after every OS update (also the minor ones), and every time you tinker with SMBIOS plist values. Failing to do this can lead to unrecoverable filesystem corruption. The first time your laptop enters hibernation during sleep, unrecoverable filesystem corruption will occur.= Move kexts from POST-INSTALL/S-L-E to System/Library/Extensions and then fix file ownership and permissions.= Install correct keyboard layout and swap Alt and Cmd keys (optional):- Sysprefs-Keyboard-Type-'ANSI Keyboard'.- Sysprefs-Keyboard-Modifier Keys.- Place layout file in /Library/Keyboard layouts.- Reboot.- Sysprefs-Keyboard-Input Sources-Other-US International - DELL XPS 9360 layout.- Reboot.NOTE: The provided layout is only valid for this physical keyboard layout. Hi all, after some research it is becoming clear that the latest generation of Dell XPS BIOSes (9350/9360/9550/9560) are fitted with BootGuard, which means that even if we manage to successfully repack any modded ME or BIOS, the laptop won't boot.Until we figure out a way how to bypass this protection we are limited to patching IFR variables via UEFI.With this in mind, and following the requests by a number of users in this forum, I have attached the first set of variable changes (based on BIOS v2.1.0 ONLY) for cautious users to experiment with.

Warning - these settings should not be taken lightly. The wrong settings can - and will - brick your board making recovery hard or impossible.Here is a brief summary of what's working so far:1) CPU and GPU undervolted by 50mV (works well on the i7-7500U). OSX does run at a lower temperature and with longer battery life (in my case around 15-20%). Matias wired keyboard for mac fk316. You.can. increase these settings but there is a significant risk that the board will not power up. Use with extreme caution.2) Overclock enable.

These settings allow you to use XTU freely within Windows, but most changes will not be preserved on boot into OSX. Use these to experiment with what settings work on your machine and then apply them via UEFI.3) DVMT patch and MAX fix to remove framebuffer issues. Self-explanatory.4) Ring Max OC. Normally set to Turbo-2, can be increased slightly beyond this, unknown if this has any real-world effect.There are a couple of protection mechanisms to fall back on (but not guaranteed to work). If one setting renders the board unbootable (POST fail, and white/yellow flashes):(i) disconnect the battery(ii) disconnect the CMOS battery (on the right of the board)(iii) press power for 30 sec to discharge EC/NVRAM(iv) reconnect, press CTRL+ESC, plug in powerIf the above fails there is also the (undocumented) possibility of putting the DELL BIOS on a USB stick, inserting it into the LEFT port and pressing CTRL+ESC before inserting power.

No reports of this working successfully yet, but please post back if you have any results.There are a lot more variables and configuration to experiment with, in particular how ConfigTDP works to overclock the multipliers for the CPU and GT, and forcing ASPM for the NVMe controller saving even more power.Thus this project can now become one of contribution, where anyone who is willing to experiment (within defined bounds of risk) can post their successes and/or questions.Again - this is not for most users. Those who are fully aware of the implications (and have successfully done this in the past) are welcome to try, experiment cautiously, and post back.
