It was a commit (I later reverted) that would have added support for SX OS - I'd guess that dropping the normal hekate sdfiles would also work (though it would create some files that will not be used but whatever lol)

Ok just trying to grasp things here. So you don't know if using the hbmenu.nro from within your sd card zip will work at this point because you haven't tested it. Curious though, why drop the support and revert back? Many people would prolly like using sx os payload for xci and homebrew. And if your hbmenu is updated to function better than the 2.0.0, then I would want to use it. PS, Excuse my ignorance if I am not understanding any of this correctly. It's a little foreign to me.

You can just drop the "hekate-sdfilesV31.zip" content on your SD. The SX OS version would have been exactly that but without the content that is only needed for Hekate.

Hi!
Thanks for the updated files!
If I understand, this will prevent the various crashes we faced with LayeredFS till now?
Yes, see changelog - LayeredFS is still super buggy though

Ok so if I place all the files from the zip on the card, I can use sx os or Hekate, but if I just wanted to use sx os then hbmenu.nro alone would suffice, correct?

Does the latest release contain the new battery desync fix that CTCaer included in a recent commit?
No since I don't have the Hekate payload in that pack but I can compile it and send it to you if you want to


The old layerfs did not crash but still had to reboot
Yeah, old LayeredFS somehow is more functional than the new one and I don't know why, even Scires doesn't know why it's in my case .-.

v3.1 still has the old LayeredFS as an option - Choose "LayeredFS" instead of "Newest Commit LayeredFS" if you want the old one in the hekate launch options

but there is... https://gbatemp.net/threads/fix-for-linux-battery-issue.508715/
thats true but

read This doesn't fix the Linux bug, this is really just a crude workaround. At first I suspected that Linux is somehow mangling the battery gauge but this doesn't seem to be the case. The battery gauge reports around 40% and decent battery voltage when my Switch would turn off. I think Linux is misconfiguring some undervoltage lockout somewhere, but I don't know where.
