I've tried those before, but I don't like most of those apps to be honest. The gallery is pretty good and the calendar is okay, but the rest doesn't work quite right for me
I can't help with installing lineage os apps but I can suggest unexpected keyboard. I tried a lot of foss keyboards and this was the best in what I tried. It has a lot of customisation You can basically change anything. I even added my own keyboard layout to it.
Does it support multilingual typing?
it has different layout but I don't know if you can quickly switch between layouts

This is the only place I've seen them. Not all will be compatible with non-lineageos android but I've had success with some.
Awesome, all standard apps seem to work fine (Calendar, Contacts Calculator, etc.) Not all of them look amazing yet but they'll do the job I think!
Heliboard is the best opensource keyboard I have used. For dialer, I use fossify Dialer
I think I've tried heliboard before, but that doesn't support multilingual typing, right?
Yeah, it doesn't.
Ah that's a shame, deal-breaker for me
You can just copy the apk directly from the phone.
To make it easy, I use APK Export (because I'm lazy... I could just copy the apk with any file browser).
Turns out APK Export is no longer available on the Play Store.
I also use 3C Toolbox to Backup apps to a local folder. It just copies the APK.

I don't see the device in the supported device list
Indeed, the devices has just been released so that is expected. I'm looking for a way to install the default LOS apps on the stock firmware
You'll probably want to get started building lineage OS from source, including the packages, or at least looking at the documentation

Thanks, I'll have to look into that. Only the calendar app seems to have a release, and that one has not yet been updated properly for the material you theming
You can also try LineageOS GSI for the time being.
I think it's fine for now as long as I can replace all the google apps
