[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Trying to increase the app grid from 5x5 to 6x6, or larger.

Anyone have the proper steps to modify the "com.android.launcher3.prefs.xml" file? This is the file that contains the app grid value that maxes out at 5x5.

FAILED: I changed UID and GID to root:root and perms to 777 then made the change to 6,6 but it still gives an "error saving" in its live folder. UID and GID are 10140 Pixel Launcher with 660 perms.

SUCCESS: I then modified in external SD card and moved it and returned its UID/GID and perms and rebooted, but it reverts automatically back to 5x5, the last value I set from the launcher itself. There is another setting somewhere that also needs touched. NOTE: no change to the screen, AND the file last changed time updates as the 5x5 value reverts itself after the reboot. In short, none of these steps "worked."
