Custom ROMs Signal Display + Airave

This is going to sound lame... so I apologize in advance. Please don't kill me with sticks.

I've seen a few threads about this, sort of... but no real information.

I use an Airave at both of my primary locations (office & home) due to signal retardation.

Yes, I know that the Airave supports only 1x transmissions (and only data when EVDO is not available).

In stock ROMs (even if I flash back to one of the stock w/ XYZ PP ROMs), for whatever reason, the signal always reads out at full (or whatever I am getting off of the Airave) with the EVDO logo. I don't know what exactly to call it, the "primary" (lol) signal is full... so any signal meters or PUI applets/etc all show that I have a full signal.

Now, if I use any non-stock custom ROM (Mighty at the moment) my signal is no different, but instead my EVDO signal is the "primary" (again, yes... I know I am lol here) and all of my above mentioned things show no signal.

Remember, in both cases I have the EVDO icon and whatever signal strength is being reported. This is not a case of it shows 1X on the stock ROMs (even though I do understand that IS what the signal strength actually IS).

Does anyknow know what exactly the difference in ROMs is that causes this?

I am only interested (since it doesn't actually affect performance) because I apparently have secret hidden OCD and it is irk'ing the $#%! out of me to see 0 bars on everything unless actually in a call.

Thanks in advance to those who've read this dumb post and also to anyone who might have some insight.
