How to identify what ROM is on my phone

[Guest BTatHome]

Picked up a G300 with a version of ICS already installed, seller did mention it, but I didn't ask many questions at the time.

How do I identify the rom? It starts with a Chinese splash screen and loads of Chinese bloatware. I want a cleaner rom but would like to know what on it first so I don't screw up .... Or is there a procedure that I can start with that doesn't matter what is on the phone currently?

You purchased a Chinese G300? Ah "seller" .. is this an ebay purchase?

Anyway from the desktop press the menu button/ System settings/ scroll to the bottom and press "About Phone".

nope, nothing Chinese about the seller at all. I simply assumed the Chinese UI was due to someone installed the ics firmware from china.

Anyway About phone states ....
