also I am running a CUSTOM KERNEL for better battery life. If I install just the UPDATE, does that mean I dont need to re-install the KERNEL I am using or will I need to re-flash it?
Do I also need the updated baseband & wimax radios and PRI 1.90_003? I have PRI 1.77 I think.... I want to do this without erasing anything on my phone.
Thanks...

First and foremost, if you are running a previous rom, issues would be expected since you are flashing a whole new framework ontop of an older framework. (This is assuming that you have installed the standalone version)
Second, any rom previous to the new 3.70.651.1 had a non-stock version of swype which is why flashing a new one ontop will not work if you uninstalled the old one. If you want to get rid of swype completely, you have to first uninstall the swype.apk, and then uninstall the libswypecore.so from within /system/lib. Then you can try installing a new version or the stock version. If this does not work I don't know what to tell you as I don't know your exact rom setup.
Third, if you installl either version of my rom, it will overwrite your current kernel with the stock one from the 3.70.651.1. You will have to reflash whatever kernel that you have now after updating.
Lastly, just read around the site for the compatibilty on using the new radios with custom kernels. I personally use the stock kernel and have no problems with it thus far. If you try something, report your findings so that others can benefit from the information.
Also, most problems people report seem to be related to people flashing the standalone update over their old roms. I have asked people several times to refrain from posting problems without first making a backup and then flashing the all-in-one (or wiping everything completely if installing the Standalone version) to see if that solves their issue (which 99.99% of the time seems to be the case)
