First off welcome to the forums iwiber 
You can perform a factory reset of your device and back up the information on it with Titanium Backup
It does require a root, but you have that covered, hope this helps!

Greetings iwiber,
Titanium will backup your apps and data, but it will do nothing for your phone information.
Your contacts and such can be synched to your gmail account.
I use sms backup manager to save text and sms messages. There are other apps available to back up your sms.
Most of the replacement launchers have a option to save and restore your settings.
Important notes:
1. Do all of you backing up before the factory reset! Lol, I know this is a given, but sometimes people do things without thinking.
2. Most of the backup stuff will default to your S3 internal memory. You will have to move that info to a external SD card before you do the factory reset. The S3 internal memory will get erased.
3. I don't know how comfortable you are with tinkering with your phone, but if you have some patience and are willing to read up on the subject, I would point you into the area of a custom recovery. With this in place, you can do a complete backup of your device. After a factory reset, you could return your phone to the exact point it was when you made the backup.
Again, number 3 is a more advanced thing to do, so if your not comfortable or wary, don't do it.
