Do I have to root my phone to be able to use a custom kernel or can i use a custom kernel on a non-rooted phone?

I think you should root your phone first then install a custom kernel, then you can be guaranteed root then

You can do that technically, however it may cause some problems, though you have a point. I now feel the urge to test it when I have access to my computer

Yup no problems on non rooted froyo. Tested using g3mod 2.4.1
Edit: bear in mind you will not be able to control cpu speeds anymore.

I just tested, custom kernel boots fine on non rooted. U just can't change the cpu speed. Look at the post above yours

As far as I remember installing g3mod sets the governor to performance and speed to 800 mhz so it will heavily drain the battery

Sorry, forgot to say what ive tried
Ive tried flashing the zip file from CWM 6.0.somethingsomething
Ive tried Installing it by running the apk
ive tried installing it by running the apk after flashing (the file does show up in system folder, but i still get the error :\)
Reflashed JB 3 times and cleared dalvik/cache/data each time aswell
Gonna try again, just to make sure im not completely dumb
edit:Yeah, for some reason its not letting me mount system :|..
Edit2: After flashing, and trying to install the apk located in system afterwards, it says there was an error parsing the file

Awesome dude it works perfect on slim cm10

You may remove Latinime.apk if you don't use the default keyboard..

If I update lets say CM9 build#9 to build#11, WITHOUT wiping anything. Would I still be losing my apps and everything stored on ext partition?
If I would, then would you recommend anyway around this so as NOT to lose all the games and apps I have installed. Its already around 500mb and will really suck to search for and download each and everything all over again. And already asked in CM9 thread but didnt get much of a response :/

Well I think you may not lose...
Depends on what script you're using.....you'll have to copy that script and it's configurations before flashing to sdcard and then copy it back to original position...
I've just tried it from cm 9 11 to mini cm9..on m2sd..
Copy init.d /10mounts2SD to sdcard then after flashing new build... copy that file back... to system.etc.initd
The configurations file in this case would be data/m2sd folder.. you'll have to copy that as well ,if you wipe data..
All these things should be done in recovery after flashing build and gapps (using aroma file manager)

You can't flash it without wiping everything. That'll cause force close issues. Try the following, since you're on the same CM 9.1:
Wipe System in TWRP recovery.
Then Flash your new Rom.
Also follow what ptcpayme told about saving the script.
Hope it helps! Can't guarantee you that it works. Worked for me though.

Oh good im using that...

Can I use this "linux kernel-2.6.38.36 modified by sak in cm10 build#2" with any custom roms or only with cm10? And I had to reflash all rom or only the kernel?

It's only for cm10 and no, just flash the kernel, I'm not sure if it's nesesery but just in case, mount /system and /data, before flashing
