Default [MOD] Customizable MIUI Launcher

Hey there! I am going to share with u a MOD created by lithium76 where he has modified MIUI Launcher so the user now can edit the number of rows and colums in homescreen. It was impossible but now it much easier. I didn't test so u can test it and report

How to install

1) Download the appropriate APK and place it in the root of your SD card
2) Rename the file to Launcher2.apk
3) Using either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with root privileges) copy the file to /system/app
4) Change the file permissions to -rw-r--r--
5) At this point your Launcher probably closed so press home to bring it back up. At this point it should be the new modified version. If not, just reboot your device.
6) Go to launcher settings and adjust the # of columns and rows you would like. hint: start out with small values and increase them as you see fit
7) Once you change the # of columns and rows press Reset Launcher to get the launcher to use the new settings.
8) Enjoy getting a little more room for your favorite apps and widgets.
