Zedge was great for S2. I don't see too many high quality S3 wallpapers though. Most are stretched.

WallpapersWide.com | 1280x720 HD 16:9 High Resolution Desktop Wallpapers | Page 1

Try and find the right resolution for your phone on here and download the wallpaper you like. ALL are high quality.

I had a folder of tons of high quality S3 wallpapers, I'll try to find it and post it up when I get a chance.

Meanwhile check these out too:

Hard to find a decent wallpaper though when S3 crops everything, so having a widescreen pic is kinda useless.

i used

How to Root U.S. and Canada Galaxy S3 SGH-T999/SGH-I747/SPH-L710! [Fail-Proof][Noob-Proof][U.S. Cellular] | Galaxy S3 Root

took me about 30 mins

after rooting i looked at

AT&T Galaxy S III - xda-developers

still trying to learn about rooting and custom roms and such


double triple check what you're doing before you do it casue its like x20 harder to root than to jailbreak an iphone

Does the phone need to be rooted to get that swipe-to-unlock icon?

For those who don't have it and have a good data plan, Songza is awesome. Internet radio but lots of themed playlists, music concierge, and good selection of music.

I haven't taken a look at what's available, but any custom based on TW should still have them unless stated otherwise. From what I've seen most heavily-used custom roms look to be AOSP-based, which will have them removed.

Looks like it's a custom feature on an AOSP-based rom. So yes you'll need to root, and most likely you'll need an AOSP-based rom.
