Theme method still works for grid size in MIUI 10 without root,
download theme from OP and just google "how to apply 3rd party theme on MIUI 10 without root"

thanks for the answer. on my MIUI 10.0.2 global stable build I can apply 3rd party themes using 'mi rape' or 'my themer', only the themes remain active for about 30 minutes, and after that the system restores the "classic" theme.
i guess i'll just have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, install eu rom and be done with that.

one workaround that I found was the Android Oreo Pro theme (can be found in the theme store and be applied without conflit by the official MIUI Theme app), which has grid options built in. The only problem with that one is that the icons are kinda small on my mix 2s and without root there is no way to enlarge them ... also there are some bugs regarding this particular theme since it has not been updated to fully support MIUI 10. xiaomi really messed things up for the users that want the freedom to customize MIUI form 9.0 onward.

THIS WILL WORK ONLY ON MIUI

After 2 hours downloading, extracting deodexing.. bla bla.. i finally take MiHome launcher from mi max with options for grid size.. it will work only on MIUI rom with android 7.0 ( since app has API 24). i personally tested on MIUI global stable 8.5.4.0.


Also to enable options for grid size, phone must be set to max 440dpi.
INSTALL;
Manually replace MiuiHome app to system/priv-app/MiuiHome/ (delete oat folder if u have)
Set permission to 644 ( -rw-r--r-- )
Reboot

I personally tested on MIUI 9 developer beta, but should work on stable MIUI9.. Test and report please.
For those who getting third party theme error use this app to apply theme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.miuithemeeditor
Unfortunately this grid size method will works only if u use this limitless moded theme...( i will write a quick tutorial soon how u can apply this to your favorite theme on the fly )
For those who want to include this methot in own theme add lines to yourtheme.mtz/com.miui.home/theme_values.xml
Code:
<integer name="config_cell_count_x">4</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_y">5</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_x_min">4</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_y_min">5</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_x_max">5</integer>
<integer name="config_cell_count_y_max">7</integer>
Thanks to Xiaomi, Miui forum,Miui Device team and me
