You don't need to emit dataChanged in setData, you only need to emit
that signal if you change data in custom methods.

Also note: setData shouldn't alter the number of rows or columns in the
model, it should only change the data of an existing "cell". If you want
to add a row/column you should use insertRows/Columns (and eventually
re-implement them).
