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 .

i'm a little impatient actually , since 4.6 beta 5 was the best rom i have ever used on my s4 .
would like to know around when can we expect 5.0 lollipop on the i9505 jflte ??
We don't officially support that device. You would need to keep an eye on the legacy community for an update. Asking for an ETA is really not going to get you an answer either.

I have to say no. I can't even find a 4.4.4 rom for it. Samsung wants to you to spend hundreds again for the latest models and this is how they get you to do it. It seems to be a very neglected device by devs too. I'm guessing because of the Intel processor in it.

Not about the processor, but just business. Samsung will make u get a new device in order to receive lolipop. But there is a chance if people can develop/port in lolipop rom and kernel unofficially.

I meant Samsung won't release Lollipop for older devices because they want you to buy a newer one. And I meant developers are turned off to it because of the Intel processor. I remember reading that in a post somewhere.

yea, x86 processor give us the developers a tones of trouble, but just to let u know that there is still plenty of developers working on developing mods roms and more for this device.
Ok, thanks.
It's strange that the old galaxy tab 10.1 (P7500) received a lollipop rom, and this tablet didn't, isn't it?

Can anyone port lollipop touchwiz rom for galaxy tab 3 7.0
Not possible

WHY
The ****heads at Samsung have given up on our devices.
Heck, Tab 3's in some regions (read: mine) don't even have kitkat.
We won't obtain Lollipop for Tab 3's through official channels (it's "not on the list"). That's one reason I like rooting my devices so I can go around official channels if necessary to keep my devices fresh (in this case, you can put Lollipop on the Tab by flashing CyanogenMod 12). Since support is unofficial, current Lollipop builds appear to be incomplete with problematic support for things like hardware acceleration. As of this juncture, I would personally suggest going no further than KitKat for everyday use.
hello guys , am new in porting and developing roms

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development/sm-t31x-cyanogenmod-12-1-unofficial-t3094681
Am already running cm 12.1 ROM but am not able to get touchwiz interface and launcher ........ That's the only problem I have

Unfortunately, there needs to be a touchwiz base for the device to make a custom rom from. So the only touchwiz custom roms for the i9195 are 4.4.2 kitkat or earlier.
Also it is nearly impossible to port a touchwiz rom from a different device unless they have very similar hardware

No i mean custom roms like V-rom ; Hopelite ....etc
If your looking for touchwiz UI just get a CM based Rom and get any old touchwiz theme off the playstore but if you want the awful fork of android that is touchwiz then no there is no MM version for the S4 mini
isn't there anything like SuperMan nor Electron Team for i9195?!?

if useful I found the following, google "Update Galaxy S4 Mini to Android 5.1.1 S6 Mini Lollipop Custom Firmware (by Saad Khan) ".
I tried to install it via CWM but haven't succeeded yet... let me know if anyone does in the meantime.
the other one I found is googling "Update Galaxy S4 Mini (All Variants) to Android 5.0 S5 Mini Lollipop Custom ROM (by adityapal, senior XDA member)"

i'd say it's better to keep the stock rom than installing those custom roms with those annoying bugs
Can anyone suggest what is the closest device from which it could be possible to port Touchwiz LP or MM for S4 mini?!?!?

It's more like 3.5 years old, released middle of 2013.
Unfortunately, old devices like this one you can have old touchwiz or newer custom roms. Luckily we still have a really good group of developers even now working on android 7.1.1

That's the S4 mini plus (i9195l)
I think it is possible to port TW LP to S4 mini. S3 neo and Grand 2 also had LP port from S5 mini(check motion rom on xda). And Grand 2 and S3 neo are about to get TW MM as well as S5 mini got update recently its WIP.
I don't own this device nor do i have much experience of port TW but if i get to know a device close to S4 mini and TW LP &/or MM updates available then please tell me
So please LMK if there is a device close to S4 mini
