Case study

Echo Show camera: reconstructing LineageOS camera support

The Echo Show camera project reconstructs camera support for LineageOS 18.1 on Echo Show 5 and 8 devices. Live-device findings trace missing camera providers, legacy MediaTek blobs, kernel struct differences and sensor tuning; kernel patches and userspace shims restore preview and capture. The project also documents Bluetooth and echo-cancellation fixes.
