Decrease scaling below 300%

I have a Lumia 950 and I would like to decrease the scaling below 300% so I can have more tiles and so that the font can be a bit smaller. I have found the registry key that sets this, but it seems that on the Lumia x50 phones you don't have system-level access. I have found possible solutions took this by Interop Unlocking the phone, but the solutions seem a bit outdated and I would rather not do things such as flash custom ROMs.

So does anyone know of a way to either edit the registry or decrease the scaling\font size or increase the number of tiles on the home screen?

    Well, good luck. I'd be very interested if you can do it AND get more tiles on the START screen. From what I understand that mat not happen but if it does then that is a serious feather in your hat!

    Please keep us updated!

    I'm just going to interop unlock my phone and set it to 200% or 250% that way.

    For anyone else that is wanting to do this, don't interop unlock and change the registry unless you completely know what you are doing,

    Ok, I was just checking.

    You could use the smaller size tile then you will get 8 across (some may not have that option for the small size but most do).

    The most you will get is using that option because of how it is set. You might be able to change the scaling but you will not increase the number across as far as I know.

    This is what I use but below that screenshot is what I could have (red block around it).

    Yes of course, I have 4 columns of tiles but I would like 5 with smaller font throughout.

    Have you selected the SHOW MORE TILES option? That should accomplish what you want.
