Sync Symbol stuck in Notification bar

[SLOflatlander]

"A note on removing these apps! If you already have an account setup in the phone under ?Settings > Accounts and Sync? for an app you need to remove the account for the app first. If you plan on using any of the built in sync features for Twitter, Facebook, or Flickr (like contacts or photos) you need to keep Friend Stream. If you have accounts setup and remove the apps you will have a persistent sync symbol in your message bar and Accounts and Sync may be inaccessible."

from Howto: Root the HTC Droid Incredible – Technology – Jonamerica.com

So i deleted a couple stock apps, and apparently i did not remove the account before deleting. now i have the "persistent sync symbol" i my message bar and i cant get rid of it. anyway of fixing this? im not sure exactly what program did this, but im pretty sure it was friends stream. (maybe footprints, but i never synced an account with that?)

i did not remove the apps, i instead moved them in such a way that they no longer appear as apps to have them cleaned out from my apps drawer. so if i knew how to do so, i could move the apps back to their original state. but i dont know how to do so haha

oh and to remove the apps, i went into adb shell and entered the commands:
cd /system/app
/system/bin/mv Your_APP.apk Your_APP.apk.bak

can anyone help me out on this?

Did you try reinstalling the apps? Maybe try that so you can figure out which one is the problem. Then remove the ones you don't want. Just a thought.

Maybe if I read your post I could give you better advice, sorry.

Maybe try this, If you used this method to remove-

(/system/bin/mv Your_APP.apk Your_APP.apk.bak)

.bak is a backup file extension so you could try doing the opposite to revert. I have not done this, it's just an idea

Same thing happened to me

Can't remember where I read it, but I believe it's tied to the friendstream and HTC facebook apps. At first, I only got rid of friendstream, but left facebook and had the issue. Got rid of both and no more stuck sync symbol.
