Why do most roms lately require a phone to be on mm firmware, When ROMs such as resurrection remix, cyanogenmod, aicp, mokee do not require mm firmware? Does porting have to do with it?

One of the most obvious things is that Samsung changed the names of a parameter that the bootloader passes to the kernel on startup. I had to develop a kernel compat shim for AOSP ROMs to be able to boot both MM and prior bootloaders.
TW inevitably has other requirements that AOSP doesn't. The short answer is that Samsung changed interfaces between in a non-backwards-compatible way between LP and MM.

What useful ROM you recommend? I read that Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 is ok, but I have it now and he has a lot of errors.

Go with Exodus Rom (MM). It's pretty much the most stable of the bunch. Android N is nice but still needs a little more work.
Not Nougat. The 2 available Roms (Substratum and crDroid) are experimental (no camera, pretty buggy). There's not even a Cyanogen build atm.
Exodus MM
Just picked up a cheap Samsung A300FU, which is running the stock Marshmallow firmware.
I believe I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP to the phone.
It is currently running the latest Marshmallow Samsung stock rom.
I'd like to flash a stable Lollipop or Marshmallow rom, but I have no idea what rom to use. I'm generally a HTC user but as this will be a second phone for me, I just needed something stable, and I can't really see any non-Touchwiz roms other than CM12.1 which has wifi issues, and cm13 which is WIP.
Is there anything stable, non-touchwiz (ie aosp type) for the A300FU that is good for a daily driver?
Thanks,
I have Listed all ROMs, with Bug list, for the A300FU in this Thread: [How to] Root, TWRP, Flash A300FU / A300Y Noob friendly guide
I guess the RR is maybe a ROM for you
Many thanks for that, I couldn't find a thread regarding Resurrection Remix for the A300FU, probably why I never realised there was such a rom.
Hi, is there any deodex available for 6.0.1 A300fu?

Maybe this is what you search [ROM][A300FU][6.0.1] [GS]Mod
Thanks, but I was looking for unmodified deodex like they had for lollipop.
Hi all, I would like to know if I can install open_gapps-arm-6....zip package on ED300's CM13.1
Also the rom's zip file has a [UNOFFICIAL] tag so how can I update it to b3.3 u4

Nobody in his right mind will be flashing a CM13.1 ROM when stable Nougat ROMs with Official support from our beloved dev, dev_harsh1998, are available.
Coming to your question, yeah you can flash the latest arm gapps 6.0 apps. I didn't get the next part of updating to b.3.3.

I would take a look at the ROM. Thanks.
Regarding the gapps question, the developer has asked to flash gapps micro, but I want to flash gapps stock, which I want to know if there will be any problems.
By the b3.3 part, I mean that the post says that the ROM is in build 3.3 update 4, but the download file has a UNOFFICIAL in the filename
Edit: I forgot to mention that I want to stick with marshmallow because of xposed framework support.
Just wondering if this was the ROM
Mokeee 7.1.1 Ota update one.
The status says nightly so does that mean ROM has bugs? Cam I use it as daily driver?

Mokee 7.1.1 is Nougat based and since you want to stick with Marshmallow for Xposed, then RR by mshoiab or MIUI8 from miui.su (5.1.1) can be your friend.
Nightly, means the small updates are pushed every day (but now IDK why they are being pushed in a week for some devices), so the nightlies are pretty stable for daily use but some experimental feature might cause some FC or some other issue. The stable builds include these new features once they are completely stable. Anyways, there is nothing in the nightly tag that you need to stay away from it.
Secondly, CM13 by ED300 has not been updated for a long time now, afaik. And it has UNOFFICIAL tag because its just that ED300 had ported CM13 from some other device to our Lenovo A6000.
For a ROM to have OFFICIAL tag, the developer needs to build the ROM from source and provide regular updates in a week or even in less days sometimes and has to stick to the particular guidelines as per the developer team. Like in LineageOS, the dev can't include a hack or work-around to some bug in the ROM. In Redmi Note 3, while there's a mod present to fix the flashlight tile issue, but the dev himself couldn't include it in the ROM as per LineagOS guidelines. Every developer community, for e.g., LineageOS (fromer CM team), RR, DU, OmniRom, Slim, AICP, MOKEE, AOSCP, AOSP Extended, Heaxgon OS, Nitrogen OS,......., has there fixed guidelines. Or you can just download a custom ROM, modify it and upload it for everyone, just once; This is called UNOFFICIAL rom.

I am searching for a MM (NOT NOUGAT) ROM which is stock android as much as possible. But I only find ressurection remix which is 7.0
Anyone knows a good 6.0 Nearly AOSP ROM?
Thanks for help!

Have you tried this?
Not aosp, but very small and light if you don't flash add-on and mod
Despite there may be personal preferences using a MM rom I heavily advise against it due to missing security patches. Unlike Linux distros support is dropped by vendor immediately once a new version is released.
Hi guys!
Just a quick question - do I need to bother with a custom ROM on a rooted Oneplus 5? Or I can achieve all the modifications using additional apps with root access?
And if so, which custom ROM brings the most atop the already rich customisation options of OP5?
Thanks
You can do a lot of modifications with root using third-party apps such as substratum, xposed, etc.
Yes, with a custom rom you can make many more changes, I recommend you resurrection remix.
Thanks a lot for your opinion!
How does the Resurrection compare to LineageOS? I'm quite confused about all the options
Lineage OS could be said to be a kind of AOSP with minor modifications. From lineage os, developers create their own roms based on it, usually, there are exceptions. Resurrection Remix has taken the best of these roms: "CM team, Lineage, DU, AICP, OMNI team, SLIMROMS", thus allowing the user from a menu in settings to make a lot of changes. I do not know if I explained well.
