After you installed the ROM, what other changes were made?
--Did you restore files from a backup (backup pro, or titanium backup)?
--What theme(s) have been installed, if so, was the theme designed for blurless roms.
I'm guessing you've got something running outside of the default ROM apps/etc. that's causing it. The best method I know if to determine what it is... is to use Titanium Backup to start freezing applications one at a time to figure out what it is.. :S
Please post back any info that helps, and GL!
Yeah, I did use titanium backup to restore, so that's probably it. I'm not using any themes. How do I fix it if it is titanium backup?
I had this same problem when I restored using Titanium backup. It was killing my battery too. I fixed it by going to the market and downloading "MyBackup." There is a free trial version available. Use this to backup all Apps/data then use it to restore. The sync icon is a common problem when restoring all your apps data through Titanium backup. I hope this helps!
This didn't work for me, should I try uninstalling titanium backup first?
