Hello everyone,

it's a simple tweak to change your home screen grid size by your desire.
Modifications were made on Android Marshmallow.
Modification is only for stock Huawei Launcher.

GUIDE:
First of all, device must be rooted.
The next step would be to locate two files and edit them with simple text editor.

1) Go to
Code:
data/data/com.huawei.android.launcher/shared_prefs/LAUNCHER_SETTINGS.xml
open the file and locate this line
Code:
name="DESKTOP_LAYOUT_CELLS">4x4,4x5</string>
Change
Code:
4x4,4x5
to
Code:
4x4,5x5
Save it and close.

2) Go to
Code:
system/hw_oem/[I]SELECT YOUR MODEL/[/I]xml/hw_launcher_default_config.xml
open the file and locate this line
Code:
<item name="config_desktopCellsOptionItems">4x4,4x5</item>
Change
Code:
4x4,4x5
to
Code:
4x5,5x5

3) Restart your phone.

You can adjust app grid size to whatever you want, but in my opinion 4x5,5x5 is the best looking. I'll upload an image how it looks like.
