There is a way to enable EIS on Nexus 5X just as it's enabled in Nexus 6P. It was posted originally on Reddit here.
1. Edit build.prop
2. Add this line: persist.camera.eis.enable=1
3. Reboot
4. Go to Camera settings --> Resolution & Quality
5. Check "Enable video stabilization"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it actually works?! I definitely need to test this. Why wasn't this included by default? Google please.
It works on my 5X pretty well.
I did some before and after comparisons and it does actually work! The shakiness is noticeably reduced when you enable EIS! To whoever found this, infinite kudos! Now, more importantly, could you do the same thing with 240fps slow-mo and burst mode?
I can't write to system partition... I assume it's something related to recovery.
I swiped the slider when it said to allow modification. Any help, plz?
I did the following:
Copy build.prop to SD and edit using es file Explorer.
Copy backup build.prop to different folder.
Boot recovery.
I mounted system read write in twrp.
Used twrp file browser to copy modified build.prop back to system.
Reboot resulted in bootloop.
Bootloop fixed by setting chmod 755 permissions to build.prop in twrp.
Succesfully implemented setting!
working very well, this is amazing. thank you
Does it hurt to give a bit of credit to the guy who came up with this first?

It's working. thanks
Is this only for the default camera app?
is there any picture compare without/with eis?
i assume the images turn out smaller resolution wise and the viewfinder is a bit zoomed in for the EIS to work?
Will this work with images or only with video? Thanks
someone should add video comparison.
So, what does this line do?
Code:
persist.camera.is_type=4
I'm looking at the 6P build.prop, and they're together:
Code:
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
persist.camera.is_type=4

EIS is for video only. If you check the screenshot at the begining of this thread the option is called "Enable video stabilization".
What the hell Google, why isn't this enabled by default
yes, only default camera app.

Got my type A to type C cable tonight. Eis definitely works making this change but I can tell you it doesn't work well. I have a V10 which has ois and that actually works well. Still better than nothing I suppose.

I enabled both. Seems to work fine.
Only thing is, with EIS enabled, the viewfinder seems to lag half a second behind the actual motion of the device. So if I turn around, the viewfinder shows me turning around after I actually start doing so.
With EIS off, I don't see this.

might come in handy. i like to take pics in 8mp but i have then shrink them to send them to people from my pc.
I'll add PNG support soon.
Feedback is welcome!
PNG support added!
Image search path is now configurable via settings, please rate it!
Looks good! What does the 'optimise' option do exactly?
does this compress the file cause compressing can degrade the image right?

how much we do lost of the original quality in compression? what's the compression ratio?
Congrats. You are on XDA front page!

Very nice.
Would be nice to have the following feature set;
1. Preview of Before & After.
2. Set a different output folder/name, not touching the originals until.
3. Send/Share output - take the original and optimize it before sharing it in email/bluetooth/facebook...
Also time stamp is quite a big issue.
If you can't preserve modified file, make sure that you keep the EXIF fields so that it could be fixed according to that.
downloading now,
it awesome
Dude its awesome, I have been wishing for this for years but haven't had the knowledge to do it myself.
Great work, five star and thanks on you! :thumbup:

Great app! I'll rate with 5 *****
I have been longing for an app like this.
Awesome bro appreciate the effort that went into this!
'Been waiting for a PNG optimizer on Android forever. Thank you, works perfectly.
Hi
The (only) use I see is to optimize images in the internal memory, such app's graphic elements.
Are we sure that shrinking a png won't break its readability?

Sure that EXIF data is kept, otherwise you will have some photos rotated by 90 degree

Hi,
the PNG optimization is always lossless, no quality loss at all.
Just if you set an high compression level it's EXTREMELY SLOW, like 30 seconds for every picture.
Here there is a preview of the next update: send images to Image Optimizer from the Gallery:

Hi @ll!
Had a S4 a got my new S6 today.
Tried the same "hack" to disable the Camera Shutter Sound like i did with my S4:
download Root Browser
navigate to
system/csc
open others.xml with RB Editor
adding new line
<CscCamera_Shutter_Sound_Menu>true</CscCamera_Shutter_Sound_Menu>
BEFORE </FeatureSet>
Save and restart Phone.
Open Camera - Settings - last line there you can find the ShutterSound!
Easier to use CSC Feature Expert for Samsung. No mistakes to mess up your phone.

EDIT: Stock camera has option to turn off shutter sound in it. Even easier
UH!
didn´t knew that tool!

I'm trying to think why you don't just use the option that's already there.

My stock camera didn't have the option to turn of the shutter sound. But I did manage to get this option by "CSC Feature Expert for Samsung".
That was the only thing that worked for me!
SilentCam Switch only did the trick temporary, not permanently.
Root Browser also didn't work for me.
Hello I'm a photographer looking to get a nice big screen tablet that can use snapseed to edit raw DNG files. The note pro ticks all the boxes but I just can't find out if snap seed allows you to edit DNG files on this device and I'm wondering if anyone could answer this for me.
Kind Regards
SnapSeed is up to version 2 now at Google app store. It should work on this tablet. The hard part is finding a new one for sale. Very few 64GB models left. I just found one on Amazon but no telling how long it will be available.
Snapseed itself can do it.
As for the NotePro, I don't now, because I'm a Canon users. We use .CR2 files, and those don't work. I have no DNG files to test, sadly.

Thanks for the quick response, Im a Nikon user and our formats are .NEF but i use a RAWtoDNG converter on the Play store on my note 4 to do some quick edits out in the field, I have uploaded a DNG file would you be able to test for me.

Of course. Yep, it works on my P905.
It comes up with the RAW editor first, then when you accept the changes it comes with the other Snapseed options. (I did have to open the file through the file explorer then select Snapseed.)

Thank you so much looks like I'll be buying the tablet the.
I really need this feature and it's gone since Pie update , I wonder if it's a bug or they intentionally removed it?
Anyone able to get the stabilization to work or any method to revert the camera app to the older version?
Please help!!!
I was under the assumption video stabilisation is on always.. You can't turn it off. Hence there's no option in the settings anymore....

I wish it was like that but I'm pretty sure it is not!!!
The video recording is shaking as hell and it doesn't make sense to have in on all the time since EIS doesn't work with 60FPS and 4K and that would be really confusing.
Using gcam you get the option to turn video stabilisation on/off.

But the same, when you switch to 4k it disables it....I do think gcam video stabilisation works better than native app....

Your quite tight you won't find it in the Playstore as its a modified version of the camera app that goes into the pixel phones.
There's very little versions, if any now, that work OK with this phone. Not many developers are trying to port the app to the honor note 10. Not popular enough or to old.
The one I'm using is the latest version I can find that works OK with the Note 10. Albeit an old version now as the latest version of Gcam have loads more features..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgiqyolksmycxbf/GoogleCamera_5.1.018.apk?dl=0
Download it and see how you get on.
If you're in tested in trying other modded apk's, then check out this Web page. It has hundreds of modded versions....but beware a lot of them just won't run of freeze the phone when the app is opened.. Good luck.. [emoji1303]

The Gcam Advanced Settings Masterclass is back! Welcome to Gcam 8.0 Advanced Settings where a little tweak can make all the difference...
That Gcam doesn't work perfectly after install doesn't mean that it won't work well as you will see in this Video.
I was disappointed after installing the latest Gcam 8.0 Mod from BSG as the whole thing looked worse that the previous update.

As you can see in the image above both the color was off (completely lacking magenta) and the camera preview freezed the only good thing was that the video was working properly with sharp and accurate colors.
So with the video aspect working fine, I decided to do a step by step guide of how I fixed my camera issues so that it can help some one out their get it right.
First step:
#1 TURN OFF MOTION PICTURE - While motion picture is a great feature for Gcam, it depends more on Google photos and can cause some problems if the Gcam settings is not set to use Google photos, or Google Photos app not being installed or out dated so, the first step is to turn.
That didn't do us any good in this case so I moved on to next.
#2 TURN ON SHOW HDR CONTROL FROM ADVANCED SETTINGS -
This one seems to work the 1st magic. Always Turn on the show HDR control from the settings or in most cases, from the Advanced Settings. This is because if other settings are not right, turning on HDR will make things worse. And immediately we turned it off, the camera preview unfreezed but the color didn't improve.
#3 DEVICE INPUT SETTINGS
If you install a Gcam and some things are not working properly, changing the device input option can be of a great help. By default it was set to Pixel II but from my experience, Pixel IX (Coral) is most compatible for my device Realme X2.
I also tweaker a few things on the preview settings you can see it all HERE
