yes. you are seeing the part say your hardware is fake. you are having single core mtk6575. not dual-core mtk6577. that one reason is slow. the other is probably because low ram. 512mb or maybe less.
try download *z-device tester* from google play store.
then run that program and tapping *cpu*, then see the total memory and storage can show picture or screenshots.
at this point we know you have very old cpu. probably low ram and small storage. best cure, sorry to say this, is buy a new phone.

256MB ram memory is the main reason the phone so slow. the mtk6575 single core doesn't help. root and take out bloatware not going to save much. maybe 20mb or so, which = nothing. install one app and that saved space gone.
sorry again to say it, but save yourself big headache and just get new phone.

You can try it. But your phone might not even be really Shengda GT-I9500. It's possible the Android version is spoofed as well.
As recommended, the best thing to do is upgrade. Even the best firmware in the world isn't going to help 256MB RAM.

And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Yes. If you flash firmware not for your phone, it will be essentially be soft-bricked. You can revive it with a backup of your stock firmware.
I'm not sure if you understood what I said before though. The firmware will not help you even if it's for your phone. 256MB is not enough to run Android smoothly. You need to upgrade to a different phone if you want a better experience.
