GenericNVMeName

A codeless kext that patches the NVMe controller to rename it to Apple’s native one or something else

Features

• Renames Generic SSD Controller in System Information to Apple SSD Controller or another specified name.

Supported OS

• macOS Catalina (10.15) to macOS Sonoma (14)

Usage

1. Download from releases.
2. Click on the GenericNVMeName kext and choose Show Package Contents.

3. Click on the Contents folder.

4. Edit Info.plist.

5. Locate IOPCIPrimaryMatch under IOKitPersonalities\com.HorizonUnix.GenericNVMeName.

6. To find your IOPCIPrimaryMatch, use Hackintool to obtain the NVMe Vendor and Device ID.

Warning

• For example, if your Vendor ID is 0xAAAA and Device ID is 0xBBBB, combine both as follows: 0xbbbbaaaa (all in lowercase) and input it into IOPCIPrimaryMatch.
• Supports multiple NVMe IDs by separating them with a space, e.g., 0xbbbbaaaa 0xddddcccc.
• In my case, with a Vendor ID of 0x8086 and a Device ID of 0xF1A8, my IOPCIPrimaryMatch is 0xf1a88086.

[Optional]

• Change the NVMe controller name by modifying the Vendor Name and Chipset Name in Info.plist.
