From Team Xecuter:

We have addressed two (important) regressions in this new 2.6.1 BETA release.

  • SXOS Online License Activation
    People who anticipated the 2.6 release for a while but didn't have a valid license on their microSD card yet experienced an issue where they were unable to activate their copy of SX OS. This has been addressed and fixed!
  • USB Harddisk support regression
    It turns out that we broke support for USB Harddisks on firmware 7.x during our final iterations of development. This has been corrected, you can all enjoy your external storage again!

Nice to get a fix quickly, I've still not updated yet as I'm using custom themes - and I can't be bothered to see if they are compatible just yet. But thanks TX.

Testing sx os 2.6 on 7.0.1 for a day and so far so good most homebrews still works (retro,checkpoint,nxshell,nxmtp,ftp,etc...) only thing that doesn't work was tinfoil and goldleaf but that's because of new keys.

how about lithium and sx installer v1.5, do they work under 2.6.1 please?

Nice to see the mods on top of the unnecessary comments by the same users.

I expect this thread to be 15 pages of shit posting by the usual suspects by the time I finish work this afternoon.

I heard it has support now for reboot to payload just as AMS do, can you just reboot pressing volume keys when the system crashes?

Which are the keys you need to press? I will give it a try
Nevermind, that's not working, tried it crashing retroarch and just got the original crash screen, pressing vol key did nothing.
