Contains very few branding. No Vodafone logos, custom boot animations or anything.
Just the Vodafone My Web app, Vodafone Discover, TripAdvisor, Zinio Magazine Reader and eBay.
Doesn't even include the McAfee bloatware

Could be coincidence, because I just compared the 'Generic BE' and 'Vodafone UK' firmwares and I don't see any difference that could cause slower 3G speeds with the Vodafone version.

I did find another difference though, in 'etc/gps.conf': 'Generic BE' uses 'supl.sonyericsson.com' as AGPS server, while 'Vodafone UK' uses 'supl.vodafone.com' as AGPS server.

Coud be the baseband on 307 is not optimized for my country.

Coud be the baseband on 307 is not optimized for my country.

I don't think so. All three baseband files (amss_fs_1.sin, amss_fs_2.sin and amss_fs_3.sin) are completely identical between .253 and .307.

I don't think so. All three baseband files (amss_fs_1.sin, amss_fs_2.sin and amss_fs_3.sin) are completely identical between .253 and .307.

I know but why the baseband id has changed between 253 and 307?

I know, but it's just the suffix that has changed (from -23 to -28, whatever that means). The rest has stayed the same and the amss_fs_X.sin files are identical (open a .253 and a .307 FTF file in WinRAR or any other archiver and you'll see that the CRC32 checksums match).

 

[gm007]

I already did the comparison and the files are same,but maybe something changed in the system,just guessing.

BTW, you could also consider flashing the 'Generic ES' version. It even contains the Pro version of OfficeSuite (normally $ 14.99 in Play Store)

EDIT: new links are up!

This is a very old firmware (with Android 4.1.2) and apparently it was deleted because nobody was downloading it anymore. I'm afraid I don't have these files anymore...
