Running the last two updates I seem to have lost the reboot->recovery option on the reboot menu. Anyone know how to get it back? I have skowered the options but cant find it anywhere.

Thanks.

Edit found it:

This worked for me:
->Advanced Reboot is in Settings > Security, set it to Show Always

witch contradicts what the FAQ says:

Hi Experts,

I installed this ROM and not able to access camera getting error 'unfortunately,camera has stopped '.

Can anyone please help.

Camera gets disabled on first boot. You need a third party camera app ( look in the play store)

I have been very pleased with Faux kernel, but i'm sure others work well also.

Hey guys, it's RC3 time! Apart from the changelog that you can see here , regarding the tilapia:

New dithering mode, backgrounds should appear better
Fix for the navbar height. It should be default to 48dp now.

Downloads coming soon to the slimroms page

Do we need "clean" installation from last update? Will dirty installation be fine?
Thanks for the ROM updates.

I always do a clean install simply because there are often issues when doing a dirty install. I do this for any ROM I flash, whether it's a new one or a newer version of the one I'm using. That way I can remove a variable if there are issues.

Here's a link to the download files:
http://faux.romhost.me/grouper/kk44/

And the thread on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374

I realize they are labeled "grouper" but faux says they work for both versions of the N7 and I have had no problem using it on mine.

No, it doesn't. But you can always use xposed if you really can't live without it
