Getting Sonoma working on my HP ProDesk 600 G3 SFF, with i7-7700 and HD Graphics 630 wasn't easy at all. I spent days just fixing a (not so) simple AHCI error. When I saw the Apple logo, I thought that it was finally done. So I jumped into Display Settings to set my resolution to 1440x900, which was my monitor's resolution (it's a Dell 1770W with VGA and DVA, currently connected via VGA).
All resolutions were 16:10. Texts were stretched and ugly, dock icons were rectangular, Apple logo was poured (couldn't find a better word for it).
And you know how much what you see matters; I eventually started to lose my interest in macOS.
I tried infinite 3rd-party apps (and yes, BetterDisplay too), but when I was setting the resolution via those for some reason the monitor thought that they were 800x600, looking even worse than before.
You might say "EDID is the way to go!", I couldn't get it to work. Neither on Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu, tools that were supposed to dump current EDID were able to find anything. So I tried to build one and put its hex into the 0x2 thing in the OpenCore config. list.
Booted up, and... IT WAS DAMN REMOVED! I even tested it multiple times, I even checked if the USB was not Write-Protected or damaged. Seemed that OpenCore was consciously deleting that from the config.
So, I tried Hackintool, the Swiss army knife for Hackintosh post-install fixes. It seemed that our knife was a bit old-fashioned, generated me a text and a bunch of files to put in /System/Library/...., in macOS SONOMA! So I spent hours, figuring out that nobody has posted how to do that, in a way that works in Sonoma (it's not just SIP or Sudo).
And, yes. This was the whole story. I really like to post "It WORKS", but the image would be awkward for now. I'm so tired of writing sentences to thank the community for their support till now, just I need one thing: help.
