For me it was "weird" I was able to turn on TRIM (trim enabler) and Handsoff without any additional workarounds.
Got a tip for us?

Modded Continuity Activation Tool (BTLE cards) with El Capitan is working

Yeah this is normal, you still had the rootless=0 boot-args set in the NVRAM, they should stay set until Apple decides they no longer allow it.
Here's my new updated tool with a few new features and bug fixes.
Please make a backup of all your files and keep in mind that this tool is in a beta stage, on a beta OS. This also still doesn't work with dognles (see the readme on github).
Please post or PM me any working models.
Just tried it on a clean install of El Capitan /upgraded to DP 2. Worked without a hitch.
Worked perfect for me after dp 3 update, didn't even have to make any changes.
I too had to go thru the Continuity Activation Tool after updating to El Capitan DP 3. I didn't have to sign out / back in on Mac iCloud.
Ok, I've followed these steps:
1. Disable SIP
2. CAT 2.1
After rebooting, the bluetooth seems to be running properly but the wifi says "there is no hardware installed"
¿Am I missing something?

Did you download the correct CAT file? Uninstall the one you have now, and try using the one found on this link. Once you run the program again and reboot, check the status under general preferences. At the bottom, you should see the handoff option box checked.
As to the Bluetooth problem, it looks like someone else had a problem with DP 3.
Do what BasicGreatGuy said.
The missing hardware could be because your wifi drivers got corrupted, restore the old drivers (kext) and it should work again.
Reinstalled from TM. Now to get CT working...
tried restarting, installed fresh copy of beta, enabled rootless (said i already was)
Tried again and... were golden!

I have '10 as well with same card. Try what BasicGreatGuy said.
I had same issue in first time. Reinstalled original kext. restarted. redisabled Rootless. restated. used the CAT. restated. And now my continuity and hand off work (along with wifi)
Are you using CAT with a dongle or a BT card?
Are you using a dongle or a bluetooth card? If the former, that is probably why you are noticing a lag, as performance with a dongle is not very good when used with multiple BTLE devices. If the latter, I don't have a possible answer.
Thanks for your answer....
I use the BT of my mac mini...
In Yosemite no LAG... in The Capitan yes...
I disable handoff and works with lag I uninstall app and works fine...

that sounds weird. The tool itself doesn't run any code in the background after the patching is done, except if you enabled the continutiy check. But that also only runs a small chunk of code after login. So I guess that it's a OS X beta related problem.

Has anybody tested it with the public beta already?

Bottom right part of the page. Download the zip option. It is the 2.1 beta.
Ok, I've followed the same steps as you and I still getting the "no hardware installed" error in my wifi.
This is what I get after all the process.
Are you saying that you no longer have use of wifi on your Mac, after installing CAT? You shouldn't need to turn SIP off, when going through the CAT process.Ok, I've followed the same steps as you and I still getting the "no hardware installed" error in my wifi.
This is what I get after all the process.
Yes, i cant use the wifi unless I remove CAT.
Should I try with the SIP enabled?
Thanks.
Try the following...
Download the CAT 2.1 beta zip (bottom right part of the page)
Uninstall current CAT
Install CAT 2.1 beta without turning off SIP.
