I've been using Android Revolution 9.2 and this morning installed 10.0. Everything was working fine for a while, then all of a sudden the GAPPS process started force-closing and I lost all access to the Play Store. I would click on the play store icon and it would just bounce me back to the launcher (in this case, Nova Launcher 2.0). I decided I need to reflash Android Rev HD 10.0 (I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1 installed). The AROMA installer would start, but it would always lock up at some point before the installation began, usually at the prompt to backup the efs partition, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I haven't been able to get a clean flash started. I even tried to go back to 9.2, but the same thing is happening.
I did a factory reset hoping it would fix the problem, but the GAPPS process continues to crash and I can't access google to restore my apps. So I'm really up **** creek here. Am I looking at a bad RAM problem all of a sudden? (god, I hope not!).
Any help/advice would be welcome.

I recently changed back to stock for more stability with phone calls and apps. However I have a problem S Note not wanting to install on my S4. When I attempt to side load the apk it says App not installed after it acts like its installing the app. The other issue I am having is with a few games that I am reloading from Titanium Backup that worked on 4.4.3 but not on 4.4.4. I don't want to reinstall them from the store because it blanks the data out and I don't want to start over on those games.
Having stock firmware, I don't think other phones apps will work. Not sure tho.
Have just 3 days with my new P2a42 and I love It but I didn't like the launcher (I don't like any other launcher anyway). So I installed "Total Launcher" which, for me, is the best launcher available. Unfortunately, after enabling dual app, the new created app does not appear inside Total Launcher apps but only in Lenovo's launcher apps. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.
Nobody? well, be careful cause I tried with 2 different apps, "parallel space" and "2face" and suddenly my phone got into a reboot loop. I don't know which one of these was the guilty one because none was working very well so I tried with the other. But the only way I managed to stop my phone from rebooting every 10 seconds or so, was to factory reset it from recovery. BTW my phone is not rooted and has stock nougat ROM.
On LineageOS 13, the latest official build of LineageOS for the Nexus 10, when I iinstall the Nova Google Companion for Nova Launcher, Google Play Services, Nova Launcher, and a number of other apps crash. When returning to the home screen, it freezes, then sends the app into a boot loop where after the LineageOS logo appears in it's entirety, my device tries to start LineageOS, but then crashes again and so the boot loop process continues. I have already reported this issue to the Nova Launcher Beta Google+ community and mentioned that Nova Google Companion ran fine on the stock 5.1.1 ROM. I've already tried reflashing LineageOS and GApps. Suggestions as to what I should do without flashing a different ROM?
Update: So as it turns out, ANY UI modifications (Launchers, TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion/Action Launcher Google Plugin) will send the device into a bootloop. I suspect that the issue is with themes provider or GApps, since Google Play, Play Services, and Themes Provider are the first to crash.
I have a similar issue but I am unsure what program causes it.
The tablet was newly installed and installing my list of apps, one being Nova.
EDIT, information provided by op:
The August 5th nightly accepts Nova Launcher, but not TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion, or Action Launcher
Hello, I have similar issue with my Nexus 10 on lineageos 13. I've reset from factory, reinstall all my apps except Nova and it works fine.
When I decide to reinstall Nova, my nexus immediatly boot in loop...
It arrive sudunly probably after an uptade of Nova...

Similar issue on Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 13 (20161220 Snapshot).
Installing Nova Launcher causes the device to freeze and go into bootloop where it reboots after "optimising apps".
I've also tried installing Google Now launcher but " Home" option doesn't show up and there is no way to switch from Trebuchet to it.
Similar issue on S2 Plus CM13 after an update
Tested 2 weeks without Nova and nothing happened
Decided to give a shot again then bootloop happened again, luckily I had backup this time
I'm facing the same problem right now with my Redmi 4A. How did you solve it? Doing a factory reset?
I am currently facing a similar issue, but the culprit here for me is the facebook app, as soon as I install it from play store, it sends my samsung gt-i9082 (running cm13) into an instant bootloop, I tried deleting the facebook app's data from the twrp recovery's file manager.
but even then it kept on rebooting.
I had tested this even after a complete format of my device, including internal storage and external storage. even removing external storage, still as soon as the app was installed it went bootloop.
It's strange for me, cause it's the same rom and the same device, that was running the same app version before i format it to clean everything.
I would have doubt a data clash between my older files, but that was ruled out after a complete format. I have no clue why this is happening.
Edit: The only difference between my previous and the new installation is that I used deltagapps before and I am using opengapps now.
I will try with deltagapps again to see if it is sorted.
Edit 2: Well it did stopped the bootloop with the facebook app, but then again it started giving me the same issue with all the other random app I try to install(All those apps that previously were working on the same rom, same device).
Now the only suspect remains is the emmc of the device, maybe that is failing or got bad sector. strange that I haven't seen any issue on the device forum about this. Bad Luck, It reaches it's end.

Flashed OTA to Oreo tonight, was 7.1.2 August Update, Unlocked, Google Phone on Verizon Network
Flashed this kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/kernel-stock-kernel-safetynet-patch-t3588154
Rooted with Su, and Hidden with Suhide
After every restart, i get 2 app crashes of Gboard and Google App Services, the keyboard and everything seems to function normally after the crashes.
Attempted to clear data/caches on both apps, no change.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? Would prefer not to wipe completely.
Thank you
It might be a simple OTA issue, it probably bring some unneeded props from previous build (I adjusted nav bar in beta 3 so I can use pip but even after final release I still have it).
You can always flash factory ota image without wiping the phone. You need to edit a .bat file ofc, which is just removing a "-w" part.
But don't take my advice if you are not going to take a back up. It might get ugly also ?
Thank you for your thoughts. I spent too many hours trying to get it to work properly. I think I have it now. Hopefully this helps someone:
I found greenify was having issues and possibly locking apps/files after the update.
Uninstalled Greenify, and Pandora (which Greenify was complaining about)
Uninstalled Gboard
Removed device admin for Play Services
Uninstalled all updates for Play Services
Cleared all app preferences
Rebooted
Installed Play Services
Installed Gboard
Rebooted
Installed Greenify
Installed Pandora
Errors gone at this point. Will report back if something else comes up.
