Description:

The Swiss army knife of vanilla Hackintoshing

WARNING!
Hackintool is not an automated patching tool that does all the work for you. Knowledge is required on how to patch before using it. Please read the Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen guide before you download this tool! I also recommend reading @jaymonkey's An iDiot's Guide To Lilu and its Plug-ins and @CaseySJ's General Framebuffer Patching Guide using Hackintool.

Mojave, Lilu + WhateverGreen
You cannot use the Clover's KextsToPatch for framebuffer patching in Mojave for Skylake and above

Framebuffer Dumps
There are a few ways to dump your framebuffer data (the second two require WhateverGreen + Lilu debug versions) to read in Hackintool:
Use the Framebuffer->macOS 10.13.6 / Framebuffer->macOS 10.14 menu to create patches without a framebuffer dump
Use the -igfxdump boot flag to dump IGPU framebuffer kext to /AppleIntelFramebuffer_X_Y (root of your boot drive) and then File->Open menu
Use the -igfxfbdump boot flag to dump native and patched framebuffer table to ioreg and then File->Import->IOReg Dump menu
