I'm going to try a tri boot Windows\Mac and Android. My LE1700 is on it's way. A true Angry Birds multi-platform bench test might not be so far away.
The biggest question remains...How can I get the hardware buttons to switch between operating systems?

Hi, i successfully installed mac os lion 10.7.2 on my LE1700, and its works, but i have some questions for le1700 hackintosh owners, if anybody can help me - please do that :)

It has Core 2 duo processor, 16 gb ZIF SSD (tohiba hdd will work too), 2 gb memory, no view anywhere screen (i bought it with broken screen/no hdd by 100$ on ebay, and replaced screen (27$)), atheros wi-fi mini-pci card.

First, its runs only 32bit mode, because intel 950 gma does not works on lion in 64 bit mode. Absolutly. System will boots up, but no video kext will be loaded. So, if you would like to use Lion, you should switch to 32 bit mode (arch=i386, better, if you will modify boot plist).

Video = fully work, with acceleration (32 bit) - i try to use many 950 kext's, and find working - e'mail me, if you interesting. Screen rotation not interesting for me, and i never try to get work it.
Sound = fully work (headphones too) native
Wi-fi Atheros = native work
Buttons = Works with kext's, that presented in this thread
Bluetooth = absolutly no. I will use Norcimo 1400 method in future, its good idea :) Now i using USB radio keyboard and mouse
SD reader - not work

And stylus not work. I installed tablet magic, apple16x50serial, tabletEnabler, but no luck.
Tablet magic modify my AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext, it find WCF004 - but when i try to use stylus - nothing happend :( Stylus property works, i tested it in bios.
If somebody could share apple16x50serial, tabletEnabler, AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer kexts - please get me.
Thanks!
There are some photos my le1700 with 10.7.2 OS running

Any ideas?

Hi norcimo1400,

First thanks very much for posting your installation experiences with the Le1700. I have tried this when the first snow leopard came out 10.6.0 but i could never get the screen resolution right so i quit the project.

You have inspired me to try again, and for my surprise i was able to boot up on 10.6.3. Though the resolution did not work out fo the box , after the 10.6.8 combo update and some kext copying i was also able to get my 1050x1400 resolution which made me really happy.
I also installed tablet magic and my digitizer is working wonderfully. There are a few things that i couldn't get going, and it seems like you did.

Things that did not work:

Display: QE/CI is not enabled , not getting transluscent menu, or have the option to turn it on, like you do according to your pictures. Chess is very slow also a sign that qe/ci is not going.
Sound: Though is seemed to be working when i change the volume with keybard connected, no sound comes out from the speakers. something is installed though.
Battery: I tried using VooddoBattery.kext it shows and icon that displays (calculating) along with battery icon but it does not track the battery status, nor does it update from " AC connected" to normal when i pull or connect the AC adapter.
Power management: Cpu is locked at 1.5 Ghz all the time which is making it really hot. I am afraid to try voodoominipower kext, because i heard it can cause kernel panics, and i have put so many hours on it already to mess it up again.
Wiresless LAN: Not working but that is because i have the Intel card which is not supported. I will buy another one.

I would really apreciate if you could give me some advices on what kexts and what not, you used to get it going so well.

My LE1700 specs are:

Intel L7400 Core2Duo
4 Gb Ram
Intel GMA 950
Toshiba slow ass 80 gb HD
Intel WLAN, don't know the model but it a proset series
View anywhere 1400x1050 screen

Help me please, this is becoming an obsession that i have to breakfree from.

Any help is very apreciated.

Would you be able to tell me which method you used to install Snow Leopard onto your LE1700 I have the Core 2 Duo model. Tried with Nawcom's ModCD latest version, installs, but goes into kernel panic and boot loop. Thanks.

Could someone, who've successfully installed OS X, post a detailed instructions list?
So far I've tried multiple images, distros and stock ones too. Stock one always resulted in a kernel panic during boot (about ACPI), installing iAtkos L2 is impossible (halts around 75-80%), iAtkos S3v2 installs but I get a kernel panic (about ACPI, but different one, now it just stalls there doing nothing), and every other installer fails to even boot.

I succesfully installed resistive touchscreen on my le1700 and its works with os x lion 10.7.2
Wacom panel, bluetooth, docstation slot, pcmcia slot - now disconnected and removed :)
