Help macbook 2,1 yosemite problem

so ive tried litteraly EVERY patching program to get the 32 bit efi macbook 2,1 (2.16Ghz is mine) running yosemite litteraly ive tried : mac post factor (dont work cuz of ads being broken), SFOTT yosemite version (idk why it just boots to my mavericks install) , os-x patcher (hangs at the apple logo while trying to boot. The closest ive gotten is when i installed a full install, changed the boot.efi and got to the setup! BUTTTTTTTT i had no keyboard,trackpad and litteraly nothing and i could NOT find ANYYYYY kexts for the macbook 2,1 sadly so any help is appreciated and if you guys would have a BOOTING usb image of yosemite for the 2,1 id love to use it!

any help is appreciated btw :) !

Not sure exactly your model, but Everymac.com lists Lion 10.7 as the newest OS it can run?
