I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM recovery and all that good stuff... I transfered the VANIR-rom over to my SD-card and inserted it into my phone, flashed it, and the phone never leaves the bootscreen.... The bootanimation never stops, it just keeps going... I've tried different Roms but they all do the same. I've tried wiping the cache, flashing boot image via ADB and nothing works... So now I have no phone, please help :(

Do you think theres a fault with all of those or am I doing something really wrong?

Well I think you are doing something wrong
I'm on Dirty Unicorns now and it's fine. Try this for Dirty Unicorns:

Flash stock ROM FTF
Unlock bootloader (no need if it's already)
Root
Install recovery
Move the ROM to the internal SD
Boot to TWRP recovery (not CWM)
Wipe dalvik and cache
Wipe system
Wipe data
Install the ROM and GAPPS

For others do the same steps BUT flash the kernel via fastboot first (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Flash the kernel only if this step mentioned in the OP ;)
