this is a huge problem on any Cyanogen user's cellphone on upgrading from Gingerbread to Cyanogen.
typically this is due to a baseband incompatibility. and is very, very prominint in every Android being upgraded from Gingerbread to Cyanogen 7.x
i had faced a similar problem. when i installed my CM 7.1 there was a momentary flash of signal, followed by zero signal - and it was damn frustrating.
How to get signal:
For mod 7.x to work, the ROM needs the Froyo baseband installed on the device. this works fine with most models getting upgraded from Froyo ( baseband v10E-b). you can check your baseband version from the About Phone option in Settings menu. (Settings-> About Phone).
so in order to have signal, you need to downgrade your baseband in Gingerbread and install v10E-b on the device.
First install the mod and check if you get signal before trying the following procedure.
How to:
1. Install Cyanogen 7.x (desired CM rom)
2. Get your Device baseband driver (mine was P500-v10E-baseband) downloaded on the PC
3. Put your cell in Debug mode
4. Execute the downloaded driver burner on the PC and click Select port, and choose your cell.
5. Select the folder itself as the image directory
6. Ignore all the warnings it might give and continue, clicking OK all the time till no more warning appear (about 3 warnings appear, but not sure for specific models)
7. Click Download and let whatever happens, happen.
your cell will be restarted two times. do not touch the cable, wire, PC, phone - till Download Complete message appears and the phone reboots with full signal strength.

Android OS
Android OS is the most powerful operating system i have yet come accross. although very cost effective and efficient, it is a little hard on the batteries sometimes, thanks to the screen usage and high graphics.
i first came accross Android platform due to my cousin brother's Samsung Galaxy cell phone. the pattern lock took my attention and redirected my focus on buying one of those 'shiny things' for myself. the turn-it-green buttons on the pattern window are awesome both from spectator point of view as well as utility interface as a very powerful security tool - unless you have enabled 'use visible pattern' and someone overlooks the code from behind your shoulders.
the second best part about that Galaxy that took me by surprise was the awesome GUI working smooth as butter on such a small smart phone. even windows GUI lags on HTC palm tops as much as i knew till now. and this thing was easyu to understand and operate - and beautiful to look at.
third, and the best feature i liked in it was the amount of applications available for the android device on its own market. accounting more than few hundred applications which i have personally used, this market boasts more than a million apps and all having twins - free and paid versions. to give you a simple idea, here's a rough statistical list which generated result on the Android Market:
game - 102434 results
utility - 51549 results
office - 5169 results
nfs - 1433 results
night - 8725 results
sex - 9582 results
themes - 4523 results
see what i mean?
then finally i brought my own android - LG Optimus ONE
and been in love with it ever since. next phone? Optimus 2x, or any thing with more cores and even more Optimus in it!!
