LineageOS for the Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.11.3
This release makes the nightly storage trim run, which helps the Show's storage last. Nothing else changes on the Show.
Changes
- The nightly storage trim runs. Android's storage maintenance, which trims
/dataand/cache, waited for the device to be idle and charging. An Echo is never idle that way and most report no charging battery, so the trim never ran. It now runs once a day at 3 AM. Regular trims tell the eMMC which blocks are free, which helps it spread wear.
Updating
Install it from the Show's Firmware entity in Home Assistant or from Kiosk Satellite's remote admin. EchoService downloads it, checks it and restarts the Show into TWRP, which installs it and starts Android again. Kiosk Satellite and its settings stay. If your Show cannot get online yet, install this release by hand from TWRP with the steps in the Echo Show 8 (2nd gen) guide, leaving out twrp wipe data.
To move a Show from R0rt1z2's image and keep your Kiosk Satellite settings, see Moving from R0rt1z2's image.
Requirements
The Show needs R0rt1z2's saiyaku unlock with TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. See Unlocking. An install or an update writes the system, boot and vendor partitions. The recovery with TWRP and the bootloader are never touched.
Kiosk Satellite needs to be 2026.11.16 or newer, the first version with the Show's base gain.
