Root need help with fixing multiple issues on galaxy s

Okay it all started when I updated my original Samsung Galaxy S i9000 running Eclair to Froyo I9000XXJP3 using Samsung Kies. Since then its been really slow and very laggy. I ran around Google for a bit and found some clues about doing a factory reset just after updating to Froyo. To do this I would like to download all apps that can be installed onto and SD card to my SD card so I dont have to re-install all the 111 apps I have after factory reset. It would be pretty cool if someone told me how to backup my contacts, ALL of my settings, my email, basically EVERYTHING on my phone that I would have added on myself after I started using it. Of course I am guessing that the default Samsung Apps that came with the phone and are still available on Froyo will still be available after the factory reset.

My next problem. While someone on these forums tell me how to backup ALL of my data (apps, contacts, media, etc........) onto an SD card before factory resetting I decided I will try to root my phone and apply OneClickLagFix V2.2+. So I used an Windows app called SuperOneClick to root my phone, successfully. After this I installed OneClickLagFix, gave it permission. Then I installed the OneClickLagFix V2.2+, also successfully. After this I tested my phone with Quadrant Benchmark and I got a score of 1956 (which is amazing because I had got 915 before I had applied the LagFix). This is all amazing, but I realised that my battery is draining really fast, because usually if I don't use my phone in the night while sleeping for approx.6-8 hours it drains little to nothing of the battery, but after applying the lag fix I left it on at night (with full battery) while sleeping and when I woke up it had only half of its battery left, so I am guessing OneClickLagFix V2.2+ drains my battery while trying to speed up my phone which is really not helpful (which is why I would like to try to factory reset as a means of speeding up my phone without draining battery).

The third thing, still related to the topic of battery power and speeding up Froyo. I realised that even after applying the OneClickLagFix V2.2+ and gaining a Quadrant mark of 1956, my Galaxy S still did not have the iPhone style smoothness I would expect from the powerful 1Ghz processor in the phone, so please dose anyone have any ways of basically speeding up the phone (with iPhone style smoothness) and not draining battery.

My next thing is not a problem, it's just for fun. I heard that the Galaxy S's CPU can be overclocked to 1.2GHz and 1.6GHz. Could someone post a guide that explained in detail what I have to do to overclock my Galaxy S because I am quite new to hacking my phone and things like that.

So my questions so far:
How to speed up my Froyo phone (make it very fast and smooth like the iOS) without draining too much battery?

How to backup EVERYTHING (like all my downloaded apps, contacts, SMS, etc..) before factory resetting?

How to overclock CPU to 1.2GHz and 1.6GHz
 
1) The iOS isn't as smooth as everyone think it is. I have seen my friend's iPhone4 lags. Anyway, back to topic: OCLF isn't the best lagfix out there, but it's easy to use. The next best would be voodoo lag fix. No idea how to install that without flashing a custom ROM though, so you will have to figure that bit out yourself.

But seeing that you have already rooted your phone and installed lagfix, you might as well take the plunge and flash a custom JPU rom. JPU is currently the best rom out there, with a ridiculously high quadrant score that makes lagfix obsolete. You can find custom roms on XDA-developer forum. Darkyy and Doc's custom roms are currently the most popular ones.

BUT REMEMBER TO UNDO ANY LAGFIX BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM.

2) Titanium backup.

3) No idea. Some custom roms come with overclocked kernels.
 
okay Darky's ROM 6.0 is frikking amazing! much faster than iOS shit...i mean crap :)
anyway, when Darkyy's ROM 7.0 released it says I can install it over any Froyo ROM, and before i had installed v6.0 I had T-Mobile UK branded I9000XXJP3, and I was wondering if anyone could upload that specific T-Mobile UK branded I9000XXJP3 ROM that I had before so I can revert back from Darky's ROM quickly if needed to avoid any warranty issues.
Also, how do i change the AOSP lockscreen to the normal Samsung lockscreen?

P.S.: What does AOSP mean?
