LineageOS for the Echo Dot (2nd Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.10.7
This release fixes two problems in 2026.10.6: Kiosk Satellite could not restart itself, and the Dot could not join a Wi-Fi network in WPA2/WPA3 transition mode.
Fixes
- Kiosk Satellite can restart itself. Restarting the app from Kiosk Satellite asked for the "Display over other apps" permission, on a screen the Dot does not have. The Dot now gives Kiosk Satellite that permission on every boot, along with changing system settings, usage access for the foreground app sensor and installing its own updates.
- WPA2/WPA3 Wi-Fi networks (#1). On a network in WPA2/WPA3 transition mode, Android 11 tried to connect with WPA3, which the Dot's Wi-Fi cannot do, so the Dot never joined. It now connects with WPA2, as the CM14.1 image did. A network that only offers WPA3 still cannot be joined. See Network.
Updating from 2026.10.6
Install it from the Dot's Firmware entity in Home Assistant or from Kiosk Satellite's remote admin. The Dot installs it into both slots and restarts twice. Kiosk Satellite and its settings stay. If your Dot cannot get online because your network is in WPA2/WPA3 transition mode, install this release by hand from TWRP with the steps in the Echo Dot guide, leaving out twrp wipe data.
A Dot on the CM14.1 image moves to this one by hand. Moving from the CM14.1 image has the steps.
Requirements
The Dot needs amonet v2.0.0 or v2.0.1 with TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. See Unlocking.
