I have cm7 latest stable release.
I seem to have more bars (3G or wifi) on sense roms and better reception versus this rom.
The problem is i have yet to find a sense rom that is not glitching.
If the answer is yes, and roms do make a difference in signal strength etc, what are my options?

Do certain roms or mods effect signal ot service?

Not at all, only the radios effect signal.

Keyword there is "seem". Some roms use a different "scale" to show how good your signal is. One bar on one rom can be the same signal as 5 bars on another.
Are there radios I can flash that increase my signal?

Ok currently on miui 1.29 I noticed the wifi signal is not as good as a sense rom also applies to cm6 rom. Currently have latest radios and 76 hboot. Any tips?

The signal is most likely exactly the same, the different roms may just express the signal strength differently in the icon. (the same strength may be 3 bars on one, and 2 on the other.)
I also have an airwave and Im not getting any signal
I am running CM 7.0.2.1 with Chad's 4/19 kernel. My Dinc gets 2/4 bars signal strength on 3g and 3/4 on 1x at home while my wie's Env 2 shows 4/4 on both. So I decided to try a the new 2.15.10.05.06 radio and the 9.01 radio. Both updated with no problems. My dBm changed little, if any. (77-85%) I'm now running 2.15.10.05.06 and seems to be snappier. The signal strength bars are still less than my wife's though. Why am I not seeing the same amount of bars as my wife? (I don't know how to check her dBm) I did a *228. I get four bars at work but not at home like my wife. (Same problem at our lake house) Is there anything I can do to make sure I get the best possible signal strength? Should I try more radios?
How many bars your phone or her phone has doesn't really mean anything. It varies from phone to phone and signal strength isn't reported properly just by looking at the bars. Checking your dbm is the only way to really see where your signal is and some people seem to report better reception with different radios although it never seemed to make much of a difference to me. I'd check out www.dougpiston.com for radios, try em out, and look at your dbm, GPS lock speed/accuracy, and data speed to determine which works the best for what you need.

Is there any way to update the PRL on CM 7? I'm at 52297 and I've seen where the latest is 52299.
I think the custom menus might only be accessible from sense roms, so #228 might be the only thing you can do in cm7. You could restore a sense backup, update prl, then restore your cm7 backup? There might be another way to do it, I'm not sure cause I've never messed with my prl.

Voice vs. 3G Data Signal ( bar ) : Are these separted in any status bar mods?
Is it possible?
I've never seen one that separates them, however AOSP roms will always show the 3g strength instead of voice strength.

Well that is good to know. And explains the discrep I notice when driving, would like to see these broken out somehow though
Hey,
When making calls you are only using 1x and that is many times what your signal strength is, "Except as noted above by Sitlet ASOP which use the bars as 3g". When you are using data on lets say a sense rom you know its going through because you see the 3g on your status bar going. Now there are apps out there which allow you to see the signal strength in decibels and that would be the best way to determine your actual signal strength via 3g 1x 4g etc, but to answer your question I have never seen any mods that do this for you!
Hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks!

It depends on radio not ROM.

my z2s signal keeps fluctuating continuously from -70dbm to -110 dbm in custom roms on HSPA network. in stock rom there is no such problem. is it the same for everyone and is there a solution?
Ya, its a problem in all custom roms which are besed on lineage os or aosp etc. Infact not only in our Z2 plus, but on other smartphones too. Tried on many smartphones. I was using miui 8 on my previous smartphone and it was great. Unfortunately there is no solution for signal problem. Funny thing is that no one talk about it. You are the first who is complaining about signal problem. I am observing this issue since 2014 and there is not a singal thread on this topic.
Ditto.
I have been having this problem with most if not all custom ROMs. I have tried different basebands without any success.
However, most of the time signal is still available even if the meter shows otherwise.

Yes the problem is same for all of us.Even after updating the baseband to 1.76 their is signal fluctuation which is disappointing.
Experiencing the same problem with LineageOS 15.1.
On 3G signal is jumping around, but connection isn't lost.
On 2G signal is stable, no fluctutations.
On 4G I can't tell, because my Z2 is lacking band 20, on which I mostly would have 4G with my provider here.
Baseband is 1.70
anyone found solution? yesterday i flashed custom rom for the first time n experiencing fluctuations, using Vodafone 4G IN
Try arrow 3.18 Oreo or pie or bootleggers no such issue is present .. also aex 5.8 Oreo or pie.. tried all 4 no such issues
Best signal on zuk only in zui, in custom signal quality is bad. ;-;
Hey bro this is the solution you need to flash a custom baseband zip coz the one you might be having is outdatedBTW be careful on what zip you are flashing coz it might lock your bootloader and remove all lock screens
Please share
