Very simple, flash through CWM just like you would any other ROM.
1. Download
2. Place in Root of SD
3. Go to CWMR
4. Install zip
5. Choose zip
6. Yes
7. (Optional) Wipe All
8. Reboot
Wipe all ....do or don't? What are the benefits of wipe all?

I personally don't wipe, but people say that it ensures a safer more proper flash. My phone's just fine and I didn't wipe when I flashed the modem and kernel.
Can I download the new kernel to my phone I don't have a laptop at the moment?

Probably... but over 3g? it's probably gonna take HOURS.
I have wifi that's pretty fast will that work?

I've downloaded a whole rom with poor signal in less than an hour so I don't see why a kernel would take so long.

Wait, you're downloading a kernel...you'll be fine then.
Just move it to the root of the sd card.
Another Question when u say download to the root of sd does that mean my external sd card?

yes........i believe
Does this method apply for flashing a modem too?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
yea it should be just like flashing a rom
Modems and kernels both flash in CwMRecovery just like a rom. Both need to be placed in the internal sd just like a ROM to flash. Although I keep a copy on my external sd and my pc for backups and recomend u do as well.
You can download them directly onto your phone but your chances of getting a bad download go up. To ensure a good download always use a pc with a known good internet connection. Good luck!=)

Thanks for you're response was beginning to think I'd get no help. I have a lg-e739 or lg my touch 4g. Stick ROM I'd gingerbread 2.3.4. Same kernel as cm7 if I'm not mistaken. I'm a noob

Additionally, should I have wiped my data/cache and dalvik cache when installing a new ROM?
Sent from my LG-E739 using xda premium
Yes, it is highly recommended.
So I have been using ICS Crumble which it has it's own kernal. And Now I want to use a different rom that uses a different kernal. How would I do this safely?
If it is a CM9 ROM from the development forum then you can just flash it. The kernel will be replaced automatically

But wouldn't that cause boot looping if i use odin since after I'm done it'll reboot? Or should I just use
Recovery to put them both? If so should I do the kernal first?

Which ROM are you trying to flash? If it is Odin flash able then it will just replace the kernel you currently have. You will only have issues if you flash a ROM without an inbuilt kernel

I dont have a computer....i need a flashable one through recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Saurom is your only flashable GB build in this section..
Check the super thread at the top of the general section, and scroll down to the roms.
Read "carefully"....before flashing...
Saurom is a loaded version of 2.3.6 with many extras ....I like it ...g
Hmmm. Do you happen to have a backup of your stock ROM (gingerbread). From before you flashed a custom ROM? If so then all you need is the stock kernel and modem. I have a flash able zip for the stock recovery I can give you, but no longer have the kernel and modem on hand.

Well, your only other option is trying Saurom. Its about the only GB ROM you can flash. Otherwise you'll need to find a computer you can use to use Odin and follow the steps in the link I posted above.
