I did exactly same steps as you, but I did not wipe dalvik/cache after flashing rom/gapps. Maybe that is the reason why it didnt work?
And I also wiped everything except local storage and sd card (before install ofc)

I think if you come from arters kernel need to flash with odin the firmware and not only just a factory reset and wipe
You know last official firmware from sammobile ok?

You dont need sammobile. We are lucky cause in DeHAWks thread there is everything you need for i9506 stock. Search there you will find and the latest one!

I'm really sorry but I'm abit of a noob xD how do I do this
Download a terminal emulator from play store, open it and you will read something like "[email protected]:/ $".
Now type "su" without quotes then press enter. Grant the root access (you have to enable root for apps on developer settings first, but I guess you already did this step before if you succeded on installing v4a driver).
The prompt will change and you'll see "[email protected]:/ $". You are now using the terminal as root user.
Now you can type "setenforce 0" and press enter. You will see no output except another line of prompt ("[email protected]:/ $") but your SELinux is now set to permissive and v4a should work.

for some reason I just can't get this to boot like with the official nightlys and CM12.1 from solk it just stays at the Bootanimation forever.
I already flashed newest stock ROM with Odin and tried again after that but nothing changed. Anyone else has any idea?

No problems here using TWRP and wiping all partitions before flashing CM (except external SD) with nano Open Gapps. Also try pulling out battery for some time (2-3 min). Looks like useless, but it is known to fix some weird things.

External SD card is not properly recognized. I can access it using RootExplorer, but applications don't see it.

The card is listed under storage just with its card Name (xxxx-xxxx), but not as "Storage1" like before.
