[mod] Home 4x6 Grid Size

[iRob87]

Hello guys,

I finally managed to bring 4x6 grid size back to MIUI 8 Home screen.

​

To apply this MOD you must have Root on your device. Then follow these steps:

• Download on your device (you can test it on any Xiaomi device, just let me know if it worked) this file
• Open Root Explorer (yes, use this File Explorer because this guide is based on it)
• Go to the path where you downloaded "com.miui.home.zip" file, long press on it to select it, then open Menù (the 3 dot icon on top right) and tap on Rename; remove .zip extension and tap OK to save (so the file will be named com.miui.home)
• Copy the file to /system/media/theme/default
• Now let's change permissions: select the file, open Menù on the top right and tap on Authorizations; tap on OCTAL and digit 0644 value; tap OK to save
• Select again the file, open Menù on the top right and tap on "Change SE Context"
• Tap on "Select a context from list"
• From the dropdown menù tap on u:0bject_r:system_file:s0 and tap OK to save
• Exit from Root Explorer and Reboot your device
• Enjoy the new layout

Let me know if you appreciated this mod, thank you!
