OK... sooner or later someone was going to have to say it... "I'm not as clever as some of you guys on here. I'm not confident enough to tinker with, or create, my own scripts to enhance my Siyah kernel experience"... there I've said it!
However, all is not lost for those of us less gifted. There are some 3rd party app's on the Market that can help us tweak this kernel if we so desire.
At the risk of being poo, poo'd, I will publish my current settings for Siyah 2.6.2 along with the 3rd party tweaks I am using. As this version of the kernel has only been out for about 24 hours at the moment, these are very early settings that you may like to try or comment upon.
Before you embark on this I should point out that your phone must be, "rooted" . You can find details of how to root your handset and much more, here:-

The preferred method of rooting that will allow you to follow these instructions is known as, "CF-ROOT" and in my opinion is the only root procedure you should use.
KERNEL
Siyah 2.6.2
Download ZIP from here:-
SiyahKernel for SGS2 | "One kernel to rule them all"
BATTERY SCRIPT
This is a battery saving script that is flashed after Siyah 2.6.2. I use hawker's version as personally the screen is too dark on gokhanmoral's version for my liking.
Download hawkers version here:-

KERNEL CLEAN UP SCRIPT
I use this one by hawker as it seems to do the job. This is a preparation procedure, init.d scripts are cleared, that ensures all the previous kernel's settings are removed so making sure Siyah's settings are put properly in place. Download here:-

2nd CORE APP
I tried to get a definitive answer as to whether this 2nd core app was needed, over on xda but got nowhere. So I'm still using it. This app, used in conjunction with the Siyah kernel, allows you to use either a single core of your dual core phone, for battery saving, or both cores, for performance, or a Dynamic hotplug feature that only brings the 2nd core into use when needed. A sort of balance between battery and performance if you like although most modern kernels do this as a matter of course.
Download, free, from Market:-
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZWdyYWsuc2Vjb25kY29yZSJd
VOLTAGE CONTROL
A, "must have", for the Siyah kernel to allow all sorts of tweaks to various aspects.
Download, free, from the Market:-
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5kYXJla3hhbi52b2x0YWdlY29udHJvbCJd
lulzactive 1.1
Useful for tweaking the lulzactive governor in the Siyah 2.6.2 kernel.
Download, free, from the Market:-
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZWdyYWsubHVsemFjdGl2ZSJd
TO BEGIN
You will need to copy and paste the following to your SD card (Internal I use) root. In other words... not in a folder:-
Siyah kernal 2.62
Battery script
Kernel Clean up Script
Check that you have installed the 3rd party app's from the Market:-
2nd Core
Voltage Control
lulzactive 1.1
BOOT INTO RECOVERY
You can do this by either using CWM in your aps drawer and selecting, "Reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery" or by powering your phone off and then holding down... Volume UP (not DOWN) button + Home key + Power button.
This will boot you into the Recovery Menu and using the Volume UP and DOWN button, select, "install zip from sdcard". In the next menu select, "Choose zip from internal sdcard" and press the HOME key to take you to your internal sdcard.
Again, using the Volume UP and Down button, navigate to the KERNEL CLEANING SCRIPT called GS2CleanV1.4.zip. Navigate to - YES and use the HOME button to commence kernel cleaning which takes seconds.
Once finished, select the, "Back", option and then the, "choose zip from internal sdcard", again.
This time, you will need to navigate to, "- Siyah2.6.2-CWM.zip" and select it using the HOME button. Again, you must navigate to, - Yes and install with the Home button. After installation, which takes roughly 30+ seconds, select, "Back".
Once again, select, "- choose zip from internal sdcard" and navigate to, "- siyah-battery_3aGoodScreen.zip" and install it as before.
You will then need to select, "+Back", twice to bring you to the menu headed, "- reboot system now". Select this using the HOME button and your phone will reboot with the Siyah 2.6.2 kernel and battery script installed.
Congratulations!
