How to unlock Electronic Image Stabilization on Nexus 5X

About every photographer knows about EIS, it's importance and how it can make your photography perfect.

Both Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P have EIS feature, but it's hidden and disabled.

But with root access and this neat trick you can enable and use it!

Here's how:

You'll need - Root Access and any root file manager. (I'll recommend Root Explorer)

    1. Mount /system as r/w with button at top.

    2. Tap and hold on build.prop file.

    3. Select Open With in options dialog.

    4. Select Text Editor to edit build.prop.

    5. Add this line at the end:

persist.camera.eis.enable=1 

    6. Tap on Menu button and tap Save and Exit option.

    7. Go to stock Camera app, and go to Settings.

    8. Go to Resolution & Quality, and check Enable video stabilization

And congratulations, now you can use EIS in Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P! :)
