Nova Google Companion causes boot loop after install-- los 13 Nexus 10

[Syberkonda]

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

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.
