(I don't mind apps that require some dental work 
)
Basically I don't like the signal bar display methodology, it doesn't really tell me anything about the signal I'm getting, it just makes something up. Is 2 bars good? not good? hard to say, since on some phones that's 2/4 bars, is that good? That's 50% signal right? or on mine I have a total of 6 so is 2 bars 33% signal? see, it's confusing and meaningless. DbM, on the other hand, is clear-cut and universal, I know a -80DbM signal is very good, -90 is ok, -100 is bad, and -110 is unusable/no signal. I'd love to have that information in my notification bar, and I'd especially love to have it replace the useless signal bars I have up there now. Any recommendations?

Real Signal by kenyu73
It won't replace the signal bars actually it will add some. It does list the dbm when you pull down the notification window. I have been using it for over six months now.
hope this helps
