UPDATE:
Good news folks! Our little project here has resulted in a working, smooth and pretty dammed fast rom for the 10.5 (US Version). It is still in Beta but based upon my experience, everything seems to be working.
Special appreciation to @ik4evr2 who came here from the 10.1 Pro Forums and without the benefit of his own device built a working rom for us. My thanks also go out to all the smart people who teamed with him to make it happen.
Go give it a flash. It only gets better from here

** Update: Have just heard from @mrwookie6379 in the Tab Pro 10.1 forums. He has also expressed interest in developing for us. Cool.
Anyone over there interested in porting the 8.4 version of cm that euphoros is working on to our 10.5?
And android is just tweaked linux. Though the difference in porting AOSP/CM to this device versus modifying the current rom is like the difference between building a model rocket from a kit and launching a shuttle into orbit.
Really anyone who knows how to extract/build a system.img can build a rom for this device in under an hour. Super simple......
