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 rooted my phone and decided to free up space. One of the things I did was move updates to Gmail to /system. This caused Gmail to stop functioning. So I deleted the app (it is listed as safe to remove in various locations) and tried installing a fresh one from the market and a v2.3.4 apk, both of which install successfully but crash when trying to run (com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly). The v2.3.4 apk ran well for a day but then ceased to function with similar errors.
Any ideas on the easiest way to get Gmail back?
My fire tv somehow replaced the default application view with this custom one. Not sure how it happened but I want to get it back to default.
I do not see any launchers in my listed of installed apps and I ripped out Xposed and disabled all the modules just to confirm none of them were causing this.
Also, I tried restoring the software to 51.1.4.1_514013920 using clockwork mod - but the menu did not revert back.
The only thing I can say, is that Aptoid was installed on my FireTV box and I dont recall installing, maybe I installed a rogue app that did this?
I had the Amazon Appstore installed and it was causing this - uninstalling fixed the problem.
I came to a conclusion that my home app is corrupted.
I've tried to upgrade the (root ver) 5.0.5.1 to the newest available rooted rom but still the home screen have some problems
to avoid factory reset I would like to re-install only the home apk.
Can I do that?
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.
