backup your rom
for a 4x6 grid size
-First download this on phone :http://www.mediafire.com/download/12ge91h88llsa2b/com.miui.home.zip
-remove extension .zip,now you have com.miui.home
-open a file manager with root (ES Explorer) and copy paste at phone/device/system/media/theme/default
-check the permissions

-Reboot,start take a 2/3 min


If you want more:4x6/5x6/5x7 working,I have not tested more
-Open com.miui.home.zip with Winrar, you have a folder theme_values.xml
-Open theme_values.xml with Notepad or other app https://notepad-plus-plus.org/fr/
-Changed both values in red

<dimen name="folder_preview_width">42.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="folder_preview_height">42.0dip</dimen>
<integer name="config_cell_count_x">4</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_y">6</integer>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_height">82.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_padding_bottom_min">10.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="icon_title_padding_bottom">1.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_padding_top">8.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_padding_top">11.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_indicator_margin_bottom">84.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="hotseats_height">92.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="icon_message_max_width">55.000000dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_padding_bottom">102.000000dip</dimen>

-Save
-With winrar add to the archive the new theme_values.xml and rename it to com.miui.home.zip
-remove extension .zip,now you have com.miui.home
-open a file manager with root (ES Explorer) and copy paste at phone/device/system/media/theme/default
-check the permissions

Works like a charm dude.

If you set 400 dpi I suggest to increase bottom padding so icons aren't too close of the indicator (the dots that indicate the page)

<dimen name="workspace_cell_padding_bottom">130.000000dip</dimen>
