LineageOS for the Echo Show 8 (1st Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.11.5

This release cuts down on writes to the Show's storage: the nightly storage trim now runs and an error report that Android wrote every 30 minutes is gone. It also turns off the lock sound.

Changes

• The nightly storage trim runs. Android's storage maintenance, which trims /data and /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.
• No more error report every 30 minutes. The kernel has no per-app network statistics, so Android's statistics poll failed every 30 minutes and on every network change and wrote an error report to storage each time. Android now reports empty statistics there. Data usage numbers were already empty on this kernel.
• No lock sound. With the lock screen off, Android still played its lock sound at every boot and each time the screen turned off. A fresh install now has the lock and unlock sounds off, and EchoService turns them off once on a Show that is already set up. Settings > Sound turns them back on.
• The microphone dump and read-gap log work with processing off. persist.vendor.amznaec.dump and persist.vendor.amznaec.log only worked while the image's echo canceller processed the microphones. With it off, as on a fresh install, the dump now gets the microphones as captured.

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 the image gives it since 2026.10.6, so update Kiosk Satellite on the Show too. Amazon's wake word engine through pryond requires Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 or newer.
