LineageOS for the Echo Show 5 (1st Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.11.1

The first release for the Echo Show 5 (1st gen) from 2019. It is the LineageOS 18.1 port for the Echo Show 5 (1st gen) in amazon-oss by R0rt1z2 and bengris32, which brings the screen, camera and Bluetooth, with the Kiosk Satellite Edition layer on top. It requires Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 or newer.

What's included

• A raw microphone for Kiosk Satellite. Kiosk Satellite hears microphone 0 as captured, with no processing from Amazon's audio HAL or the image, so its own echo canceller sees the speaker's echo at a fixed delay. Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 and newer add the Show's 20 dB base gain, the same as on the Echo Show 5 (2nd gen).
• Amazon's wake word engine with files you install. The image includes none of Amazon's libraries or models. If you put Pryon's files in /data/pryon yourself, pryond runs them for Kiosk Satellite, and "stop" works without the wake word. See Amazon's wake word engine.
• Kiosk Satellite on first boot. Once the Show is on Wi-Fi, ks-install downloads the latest Kiosk Satellite, installs it, gives it every permission it needs and makes it the device owner. Kiosk Satellite then makes itself the home screen and reports the Show's real Wi-Fi MAC address to Home Assistant.
• Nothing to tap through. There is no setup wizard and no lock screen. adb works over USB from the first boot, so a computer only has to be allowed on the screen once. Allowed computers do not expire. Android's screen timeout is set to never, so only Kiosk Satellite dims the screen or turns it off.
• Set up from adb. echo_service joins Wi-Fi, sets the time and time zone from your computer and changes the Show's settings without touching the screen.
• Privacy and the screen on separate presses. Press the button on top briefly to turn the screen on or off. Hold it for about a second and a half to turn privacy on or off. The microphones come back after privacy ends with a short press, which needed a reboot before.
• Double tap to wake. Double tap the screen while it is off to turn it back on. A single tap leaves it off.
• Bluetooth both ways. echo_service bt pair lets phones play to the Show as a Bluetooth speaker. echo_service bt connect [name] plays the Show's audio through Bluetooth headphones or a speaker instead. Kiosk Satellite's Bluetooth proxy for Home Assistant works in both.
• Steady Wi-Fi. Android keeps the access point it joined instead of moving between mesh nodes. It picks an access point by signal strength, preferring 5 GHz. The image also connects to a network in WPA2/WPA3 transition mode with WPA2, including one that also offers WPA2 with SHA256.
• System updates. EchoService finds, downloads and installs new releases of this image. Kiosk Satellite shows them in its remote admin and as a Firmware update in Home Assistant.
• The Kiosk Satellite boot animation and a plain wallpaper. The bars of the Kiosk Satellite mark bounce while Android boots, then the house fades in around them. A fresh install gets a plain #444444 wallpaper.
• 70% master volume on a fresh install. The Show has the Echo Show 5 (2nd gen)'s speaker, so it starts at the same level.
• More free memory. With Kiosk Satellite on screen for over an hour, about 400 MB of the Show's 1 GB stays available. The image leaves out telephony, the LineageOS updater and the apps a kiosk does not use.

Installing

Follow the Echo Show 5 (1st gen) guide. The install erases the Show. To move a Show from another LineageOS image, back up Kiosk Satellite first, as Moving from another image describes.

Requirements

The Show needs amonet 2 with TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. See Unlocking, which also covers checking the bootloader before you run fastbrick. If the Show was unlocked with an older amonet, see Updating an older amonet.

Kiosk Satellite needs to be 2026.11.14 or newer, the first version with the Show's base gain and with Amazon's wake word engine through pryond.
