You told me rename the config file. So I did it. “Solved”
Changed lilucpu from 8 to 9 (default) to check if the graphics don’t stop working

They’re a bit more responsive. But still very laggy. I’ll try to install the macOS into the NVMe Drive

Problems with Kaby Lake Graphics
There are some currently known issues with Kaby Lake graphics:
- Connecting HDMI display or TV causes the Internal Display of the laptop to have very low refresh rate "look like" and laggy cursor.
- Unplugging the HDMI display or TV will leave your internal display of the laptop stay black and you will be forced to Hard Reboot by holding power button and then to boot again.
- Shadows, Backgrounds, Blurry images and Windows will appear pixelated and ugly looking.

Thanks to @RehabMan we have a solution for this by using Skylake Spoof.
As an example for this i will take my Lenovo V330-15IKB (KabyLake R) laptop.
In normal cases i would use AAPL, ig-platform-id 0x591B0000 or 0x59160000, which used to work fine in macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, prior to 10.13.6 i also needed a patched EDID to fix the issues listed above.

Now thanks to WhateverGreen.kext this process is much easier, all we have to do is to use: lilucpu=8 kernel flag by adding it into config.plist /Boot/Arguments

Next step is to change AAPL, ig-platform-id and device-id to skylake laptop
- from 0x59160000 / 0x591B0000 to 0x1916000
Here is an example in the picture down below:

Tried to install on the NVME Drive.
Graphics keep freezing.
It still stopped the installation when "2 minutes remaining" but this time I'm not sure if the graphics completely froze or if there was something wrong with the installation.

I forced shutdown and booted the NVMe Drive. Got stuck on the Apple Logo. Forced shutdown and now I have a Recovery Partition (which means it's probably something related with the onboard graphics - maybe nv_disable=1 is interfering with something?? )

After all that, I tried again to boot the installer and gave me this:

Needless to say that the graphics completely froze. I left it there for around 30 min (more then enough to try to complete the installation).

I tried to boot and it's stuck at the apple logo. Attached EFI v4

I will try this workaround:

try the config.plist from the laptop untouched

the completely stock one? only using drivers and kexts?
I did that workaround. Backlight stopped working
