kernel question

Ok I want to be able to wifi tether and also overclock I'm running cm6 2.2 9/15 nightly and also is it the same process like flashing roms through recovery? Do I need to wipe? And I also heard something about a module do I need that?

The best way to flash the uncapped is right after you flash a nightly, then you won't have to worry about wiping Davlik cache and cache again.

boot into recovery
Wipe davlik cache and cache
Flash nightly
reboot
boot into recovery
flash uncapped kernel
reboot

Then use oc widget or setcpu to adjust the frequencies for your phone

dont need to do all that, just
boot into recovery
Wipe davlik cache and cache
Flash nightly
flash uncapped kernel
reboot

thats what i was told to do, do it all in the same recovery session

Since I've done it the same way since Dec released the uncapped kernels without incident, I'll continue the other way.

I don't think either is right or wrong though:)

Ok so does the kernel have to match up to a nightly or anything? or can any kernel work with any nightly?

I'm currently running nightly 9/15 and I got OC widget but i havent flashed a kernel yet.
so do I have to use a certain kernel for that particular nightly?

Any uncapped kernel will be fine, I suggest the #14
