Strange icon stuck in notification area.

Hi, I have a HTC Sensation 4G (USA T-Mo), rooted. Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 3.6. I did some slimming down on extra junk on my SD card, after backing it up on my PC. I found I slimmed too much out, so I put the backup on the SD card. I re-inserted the SD card into the phone, I can tell some setting were reset (such as brightness turned all the way up), and icons from apps I didn't use much started appearing in the notification area. At first many of the apps weren't responding, then after a while they were OK.

However, one icon (or may be a remnant of something else stuck on the screen?) is stuck and fails to remove. I tried rebooting, powering off, removing the battery, then back in and on, killing apps, rebooting the UI from ROM Toolbox Lite (I read this app supposed to have a status bar refresher, but I don't see it).

The icon looks like a battery indicator (pic attached), gold and blue at the end and seems the blue part varies a bit even with a fully charged battery. It's not present when rebooting, until other icons load in, and the mystery icon will the also load. If I go into an app that doesn't show the notification area. like Internet, that icon is still there. Any idea? I have Battery Dr. as well as Mobile Care installed that give battery status, but no mention on such an icon in those apps.

You can see the offending stuck icon in the attached browser screencap, it's just above the h & e in "weather" in the URL bar. Sometimes when I'm doing something it might disappear momentarily, then come back. Thanks.

After a bunch of trial and error, I found out what it was, I would delete this post if I could, only allows edit. The icon is from the RAM Booster Pro app, which I must have downloaded at some point, may have been an Amazon free daily app. Never used it till as I stated above, I was randomly clicking on apps as I was at first getting unresponsive app warning after redoing my SD card, so the RAM Booster Pro app must have eventually kicked in, and I can see now that the default is keeping that icon there all the time, can be touch launched, and can set to it not showing, or just not shoeing when something is in full screen, which is how I set it, might as well see if the app helps with speed and memory optimization since I already have it.
