[MOD]change home screen grid size Miui Launcher

[pcmtse]

Thank you, but this does not seems to work on the MI MIX global ROM.
Applied the file and change to 5 X 7, but still show 4X6

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

-Reboot

Thx kuan for tips

Following these instructions and changing the values to 5 and 7 I can confirm works. I now have a 5 X 7 grid on MIUI Launcher

worked just fine on miui 8 for motog 2014 thx man

I can confirm it works on Mix with Epic Rom Pro Beta. I tried 7x5 with 400 dpi and 8x6 with 385 and both worked perfect. Finally opted for 7x6 on 385 and looks very nice to me.

I hope this mod does not interfere with any of the features of the ROM...

I finally got it like it should be, now I just have to fix this:

I'm very interested.
I really like your results.
Would you mind sharing your values or your file?
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately it does not work on MIUI 9.5 global stable. When using rom from xiaomi.eu it did work (within later versions of that ROM changing grid size was even part of the entire ROM and normal settings - unfortunately they discontinued support for RMN2).

Tested your MIUI Launcher Home Screen mod on MIUI 9 on Redmi Note 4. Works Great..!!!

Grid Size 5x6



How to change grid size of notification panel?

 

[tvladan]

For icon size use this code in the same file:
<dimen name="config_icon_width">53dp</dimen>
<dimen name="config_icon_height">53dp</dimen>
Change from 53 to whatever you like. Also from miui 9.5 forward the measurement unit is "dp" rather than "dip".

Unfortunately this does not work with Global Stable V9.6.3.0 ROM - any idea how to get it working?

 

[Renth]

Nobody any idea?
