Root Finally rooted. (1 question remains)

So I am finally rooted and it feels great. I ended up removing teeter, Friend Stream app and widget, city id, HTC twitter and widget, VVW, and HTC footprints app and widget. Now whenever I boot my phone I have the circular syncing icon (next to the gps icon) on my top menu bar. It will not go away and just remains up there. Is something trying to sync in the background? Any ideas on how to stop it or what process is causing it to sync? I just don't want it there and I don't want it to kill my battery if it's trying to sync something.

Thanks everyone

I am having the same issue, running vanilla unrevolved. Sync will not disappear. Also I am having issues with linking google contacts on the phone to facebook, no facebook contacts show up when I try to link.

Here is an easy way to fix this. I had the same issue and it literally took me all day to figure out how to get rid of the stupid sync icon. First go into settings/account sync/ and remove the facebook account. Next, while in settings go to applications/manage applications/ find both facebook apps and uninstall or clear cache. Next open your Peoples icon. Select the icon on the bottom that looks like the world. It will open up a new window. Choose facebook. It should pull up all your friends. Hit the menu button and choose refresh. Next go back into your Settings/Account Sync/Add new account/ facebook and enter your info. Then sync just your Gmail account. Wait until that finishes. Once that is done, then sync your facebook. This should get rid of that sync notification. The important part is the unistall and clear cache part. Let us know if it works.
