ICS to be released with the same kernel as now

It is confirmed that Sony Ericsson’s Ice Cream Sandwich ROM will release with the same kernel that is currently used for gingerbread. The official statement is from Sony Ericsson developer Karl-Johan Dahlström.

He justifies the decision for it’s a fact that with the same kernel as now the company can deliver the update to its users as early as possible. He made his comment in xda-developers ,

I have seen quite a few comments regarding the kernel version in the ICS alpha release. The reason why we are keeping the 2.6.32-kernel is that we have prioritized time to market. It is rather quick to get a new kernel up and running, but it takes a lot of testing and validation to make it stable and run with the modem, get a good battery performance etc. Quite some effort has been put in to the Sony Ericsson 2.6.32 kernel, to make it as stable and reliable as possible for the 8255 platform, and we do not feel that the user benefit of a new kernel would justify a later release date.

For those who have no idea of what a kernal is, in simple words, it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. A newer android kernel version means more security, memory, process and power management.

Sony Ericsson’s decision to let the current kernel version remain will not make a widespread protest from the customers because the majority of them are not aware about it. They only look to whether they get the Ice Cream Sandwich update or not, once they get it, they think they got it all. The company’s interest in giving out the updates as early as possible is appreciable but we do hope that they provide an updated kernel as well at any time later.
