I know we will have to see what the future brings but, are there any developers willing to develop custom roms for us Tab S owners?
I know CM12 is Available for the Non-LTE Variants, i am an LTE owner so, i dont have any sort of Lollipop on my T705, was just wondering, since Custom Development for T705 has stopped for a while (besides IronRom which is mainly a 805, and SkyHigh, which is my daily driver)

CM12 is based on Lollipop.
Lollipop was Officially released quite a few months ago, what hasnt been released is Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Product Line.
So my question was, if we are to expect custom development from the current developers for the Tab S when Samsung releases its base rom for the Tab S, since this is a no-so-popular device.

Cm12 is based on lollipop/stock android. Why? Because someone ported/built a working build to make it work. Samsung takes ages to release lollipop.

We will get custom rom development and maybe themes since samsung switched to png format.

See, this was something I was afraid of hearing because wouldn't there be a difference between ported/built working vs official samsung bult that is fully functional? Not saying the other cm12 isn't functional, my insecurity says theres ought to be something between developing a working carbon copy and the real version.

What do you mean with the "real and carbon copy" versions?
Samsung implements a framework on top of android called Touchwiz for their devices, it's more than just a skin, and the personalization takes time. Samsung decides which devices to be updated first based on the sales of the device or if it's a new device as a magnet for sales.
CM(XX) is much closer to the The Stock Android Experience (AOSP), but since Samsung uses a closed code, and drivers, an implementation is never as perfect as an "Official" one. This is mainly due to the fact that CM implementations are more ports than direct implementations, but neither is a copy or the other, just two different approaches, and different outcomes.
I will still continue development of my SkyHigh kernels for LP TouchWiz based firmware. It's what I'll be using ..... unless I manage a miracle to scrounge the cash for the upcoming 8" Tab S2
Once firmware and LP kernel source is released, then I can start .

Why do you want the rom from the SM-T330 on the SM-T310? They use different SOC's (SM-T310 uses Samsung's Exynos chipset while the SM-T330 uses a Qualcomm chipset). So the sources are not really compatible.
Furthermore, they use different graphics chips. So, while you *might* technically be able to run the SM-T330 ROM on the SM-T310, it probably isn't worth it.
Especially since some people already have an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod 12.1 for it (Android 5.1). Why don't you get involved with them instead?
Look over their repositories and their commit history to understand what they did and why they did it (assuming good commit logs).
See the subforum post here:

Am already running cm 12.1 ROM but am not able to get touchwiz interface and launcher ........ That's the only problem I have
I just downgraded from a Nexus 5 to a HTC 820q. It's running 4.4.4. And has a Qualcomm snapdragon 410 (msm chip) with 1GB Ram. Is there any ROM for this device? If not, which ROMs are compatible or may take less time to understand and build for 820q? I know kernel stuff quite OK and have build my version of Android for a 96boards development board which has similar specs as this device.
I really need at least Android 5, preferable stock kinda ROM if possible.
There have been many cases of newer versions of Android being ported from a device that can run it. For example, Android 8 has been ported to the Galaxy S6 from the A8, and Android 6 has been ported to the Galaxy Note 3 from the Note 7. In both of these examples, the ROMs have been a port of the Samsung firmware with all the UI but modified to work on the phone.
However, on the Galaxy S5, the only port ROMs I've seen are Marshmallow, even S8-based TouchWiz ROMs are still based on Marshmallow. Marshmallow is still a relatively new version, but there will come a time where eventually support will die out just like KitKat and soon Lollipop.
The question I am asking is whether it is possible to port a Samsung firmware of a newer Android version to the Galaxy S5. If so, what steps would need to be taken? If not, why?

Hello, Dear Friends!
As some of us know, the latest Samsung supports for this device is Android 5.1.1 (Touchwiz Nature UX)
The custom rom I have installed and using for a while now is Android 6.0.1 (Touchwiz Noble & Grace UX)
I have this tablet used at work, and I would really want Samsung Experience ROM onto it.
Various reasons, such as app support and more, most likely aesthetics.
I would use my personal Galaxy Tab S5e but my workplace has custom charging docks for this specific model.
The Custom ROM I use right now is a Android 6.0.1 rom ported from Galaxy Tab A6 10.1 (Tab A 10.1 (2016))
I know that Android 7.0 has rolled out to Galaxy Tab A6, wondering if we can make a port of the rom, but in newer version.
I am willing to pay, for this project, of course.
Have a marvelous day!
