LineageOS for the Echo Show 8 (1st Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.10.6

This release gives Kiosk Satellite a raw microphone so its echo canceller no longer loses the echo and adds a privacy timeout.

New

• Privacy timeout (#30). echo_service privacy on turns privacy on from adb. echo_service privacy timeout <seconds> has EchoService turn privacy back on once the microphones have been on that long, so the microphones stay off unless someone just held the button. The privacy chip's driver only lets software turn privacy on, so only the button turns the microphones back on.

Fixes

• Kiosk Satellite's echo canceller never settled. The audio HAL wrapper sent Kiosk Satellite's MIC capture through Amazon's ASR pipeline, whose echo canceller and residual echo suppression leave an echo that moves against the speaker by about 16 ms every few seconds as they adapt. Kiosk Satellite's own echo canceller needs a fixed echo path, so it kept losing the echo and the assistant heard itself. Kiosk Satellite now gets microphone 0 raw, as captured, with the echo 2 to 3 ms behind the speaker at all times. Every captured frame reaches Kiosk Satellite once and in order, which a sample-accurate marker test confirmed on both paths.

Changes

• Updating from amonet 1 installs the amonet package from TWRP (#29). Unlocking said to run fastbrick again on a Show unlocked with amonet 1, but fastbrick does not run on a Show that is already unlocked. It now says to install R0rt1z2's amonet package from TWRP, as the XDA thread does. When fastbrick says the bootloader is already unlocked, Unlocking now says to check the TWRP version instead of taking the Show as on amonet 2.
• Unlocking shows each device in its own collapsible section. Each section opens from the device's name, so the page shows only the steps for your device.
• Updates from your own server (kiosk-satellite#1229). A new guide covers updating an Echo on a network without Internet access from a folder on your own web server, such as a NAS. It has a script that mirrors the newest releases and the adb command that points the Echo at the folder.
• The kernel version names the release. It said 4.9.337-g3e46726afcbe-dirty, with a build number that counted every kernel build on the build machine. It now says 4.9.337-kiosksatellite-crown-2026.10.6, with build #1.
• Android's build string names the release. Its build number was eng.<user>.<date>, as in lineage_crown-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 eng.builde.20261030.161037 test-keys. It is now the release, as in lineage_crown-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 2026.10.6 test-keys. The build fingerprint has the release too.
• Joining a Wi-Fi network with a ! in its name or password. The guide's wifi connect command failed with event not found for a name like FRITZ!Box 7590, since bash and zsh read a ! inside double quotes as a history command before the command reaches the Show. The guide now names ! and $ among the characters to type in a shell on the Show instead.

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 guide, leaving out twrp wipe data.

Requirements

The Show needs amonet 2 with TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. See Unlocking. If the Show is on amonet 1, see Updating from amonet 1.

Kiosk Satellite needs to be 2026.11.1 or newer. Its echo canceller is built for the raw microphone this release gives it, so update Kiosk Satellite on the Show too.
