How about an e-apps package like g-apps to be used instead on blank custom roms on unsupported devices, like older ones? Wouldn’t this be able to increase the community base significantly? Myself I wish I had /e/ also on my note 4 trltexx …
Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online services
It doesn’t seem very useful, the /e/ apps aren’t /e/. And you can download most of them.
I think it’s better to work on the support of devices instead of building a package of /e/ apps. Maybe it would only take 15 minutes to make it though, I don’t know.
Try to build your /e/ ROM 
It’s quite easy when we read useful topics in the /e/ builds category, even if I didn’t succeed yet.
thank you very much, you sure got a point there. Instructions seem simple enough, I’ll give it a try and post the results if I succeed.
But if we talk particularly about those apps that are used to access /e/ online services, their standalone distribution can help increase the project’s monetization. (Although I have no idea how to make it work.)
sure, by cloud subscriptions that was part of my thought …
i really agree with this. Look at for example how popular all the ‘simple’ apps are on fdroid - even if the /e/ apps are based on other apps, i feel it would be a good service to make them also available for other Android users + it would help to increase the visibility of /e/
OK … no success thus far. Here is what I did:
Device: Note4 trltexx (SM-N910F)
PC: Ubuntu 20.4 LTS
Followed this guide: https://doc.e.foundation/how-tos/build-e
created directories.
sudo docker pull registry.gitlab.e.foundation:5000/e/os/docker-lineage-cicd:community OK
sudo docker run

It appears to me as if something were missing …
My device is running Lineage 14.1-20170201-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx flawlessly.
Any help would be appreciated …
first: That’s a xiaomi device. There are no sources in TheMuppets available. you have to search for device and vendor and kernel sources on Github and making a roomservice.xml with them.
second: If you have the needed sources / roomservice you can use the way Anonyme has pointed to,
