Why won't the grid size on Google Now Launcher change when I modify DPI? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As shown in screenshot, I've changed my DPI/smallest width in Developer options from 360 (default) to 400 (recommended by DPI calculator)
Everything is scaled down nicely including text, icons, and pretty much everything in the UI itself.
But what's bothering me is that the Google Now Launcher's grid won't change for some reason. It still has 4 columns and the spaces between them are so big. Shouldn't it change according to the DPI?
The Pixel Launcher I've downloaded also has the same problem. The dock adjusted fine, which is what I want because now I can put more apps within it. Now I want the same thing for the apps that are not on the dock. Why aren't they changing?
Notes:
Changing the DPI to a far larger number didn't work.
Restarting phone didn't do anything either.
Force stopping launcher didn't work too.

[Q] Apex Launcher Pro

Is there anyway of resizing the dock Icons?
I have my DPI at 220, and the size of the Dock icons don't really match the DPI.
Ive looked around in the settings and havent come accross an option to change the size of the icons in the dock.
Was wondering if anyone knew how to do it, is it possible?
I have found that if you increase the amount of icons in the dock it will shrink them. I set mine to the max, which is 7 but cant find a easy way to make them any smaller than that, hopefully they add that feature

Small problem with 240 DPI on SystemUI

Hey Guys
I use xposed app settings to set dpi.
So i set SystemUI to have the notification bar show at 240 dpi but for some reason the app usage space is still the same. So there is this gap which is very obvious when i use apex launcher. (Apex launcher seems to add a tint to the background, touchwiz doesn't.) When i open apps the gap is there too but not noticeable since its black.
Am i missing something or am i doing something wrong?

Changing Dots per Inch (oynx)

Hello everyone. I encounter some weird stuffs, which is the dpi. I'm now using exodus ROM on my Oneplus X. I changed the dpi setting from 480 to 400 through exodus setting itself. My screen turned small, app drawer shows 5 columns but not on my homescreen. So I searched through website, and I found out that, I need to change the dpi by editing build.prop. So I did. After I reboot, my homescreen can fit in 5 icons (5 columns, usually only 4, because of 480 dpi). However, my app drawer changed back to 4 columns instead of 5! Anyone know how can I solve this?

How to definitely change DPI

Hi guys,
How can I definitely change the DPI of my device?
The Mi A3 native DPI it's 260 or 360 I guess, but it makes the UI elements so big, and I hate it! So, I came to developer options and changed the DPI to 510 which looks so much better, with small letters, icons, status bar and nav bar. But everytime I reboot our just lock and unlock my phone the icons and all others UI elements return to their normal size, so I need to go again to the developer options and change it again.. Is there a way to fix it? Can I do something using ADB commands? Thx in advance!
Facing same issue....also looking for any adb command or something which do not require root
You can change the display size , and the font. Otherwise you can install nova launcher or lawnchairlauncher V2 where you can make many changes to the size. ( lawnchair launcher v2 is very close to stock launcher with many more customizations )

They're talking about the android 10 bug in which certain elements (power menu, lock screen, notification shade) will revert to their original dpi even after changing the screen size.
Update: I just found the problem, it's in the fingerprint unlock. I just changed the fingerprint lock for a pin and now I can reboot my phone and the DPI doesn't get changed anymore. Now I'm searching for a way to fix it, cause the screen fingerprint it was one of the reasons who make me buy that phone.
Same for me
I also facing the same issue.. for me i used to toggle between dark and white modes then everything will fine..
for rooted device, "wm density" command should work.
