How to improve HTC HD2? Use energy ROM!

By
I'm really satisfied with my cell phone HTC HD2. I've bought the device in February and I truly like the change, the innovation.

Logically, I've started to consider flash HD2 by one of many ROM's developed by guys around xda-developers.

There were three main reasons why I did it.
  • the device suffers by child ailment like wrong delivering of SMS. I've no time to watch and search forums and apply released patches
  • there are a lot of handful applications around HD2
  • there are a lot kinds of settings, it's hard to fine tune the device
The most widely known rom is the Energy rom.

What do you need to do to flash your device? There are two simple steps described in details within the article. Note that you should make the all flash stuff on the notebook to prevent against the blackout.

What the energy ROM brings me?

  • I have got the updated device all the time as I'm flashing it couple times per month. The rom contains almost 40 applications, see the complete list
  • HD2 keeps alive almost three days per one charge! This is the best improvement at all
  • the fine tuned and fresh graphic of sense environment, see screenshots, note that there are seven different graphics designs!
  • the fine tuned environment, all applications works together in the complete bundle
  • the whole device is faster, this is the main reason why "energy" :-)
 NRGZ28 made and is making the great work, I like it and I appreciate that! I also have to admit that sometimes the HD2 went down without any reason but it happen a few times.

Performance Battle of NoSQL blob storages #1: Cassandra

By
Preface We spend last five years on HP Service Virtualization using MsSQL database . Non-clustered server. Our app utilizes this system for all kinds of persistence. No polyglot so far. As we tuned the performance of the response time - we started at 700ms/call and we achieved couple milliseconds per call at the end when DB involved - we had to learn a lot of stuff. Transactions, lock escalation , isolation levels , clustered and non clustered indexes, buffered reading, index structure and it's persistence, GUID ids in clustered indexes , bulk importing , omit slow joins, sparse indexes, and so on. We also rewrite part of NHibernate to support multiple tables for one entity type which allows use scaling up without lock escalation. It was good time. The end also showed us that famous Oracle has half of our favorite features once we decided to support this database. Well, as I'm thinking about all issues which we encountered during the development, unpredictive behavio

NHibernate performance issues #3: slow inserts (stateless session)

By
The whole series of NHibernate performance issues isn't about simple use-cases. If you develop small app, such as simple website, you don't need to care about performance. But if you design and develop huge application and once you have decided to use NHibernate you'll solve various sort of issue. For today the use-case is obvious: how to insert many entities into the database as fast as possible? Why I'm taking about previous stuff? The are a lot of articles how the original NHibernate's purpose isn't to support batch operations , like inserts. Once you have decided to NHibernate, you have to solve this issue. Slow insertion The basic way how to insert mapped entity into database is: SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession().Save(object); But what happen when I try to insert many entities? Lets say, I want to persist 1000 libraries each library has 100 books = 100k of books each book has 5 rentals - there are 500k of rentals  It's really slow! The inser

Java, Docker, Spring boot ... and signals

By
I spend last couple weeks working on java apps running within docker containers deployed on clustered CoreOS machines . It's pretty simple to run java app within a docker container. You just have to choose a base image for your app and write a docker file. Note that docker registry contains many java distributions usually based on open jdk. We use our internal image for Oracle's Java 8 , build on top of something like this docker file . Once you make a decision whether oracle or openjdk, you can start to write your own docker file. FROM dockerfile/java:oracle-java8 ADD your.jar /opt/your-app ADD /dependencies /opt/your-app/dependency WORKDIR /opt/your-app CMD ["java -jar /opt/your-app/your.jar"] However, your app would probably require some parameters. Therefore, last line usually calls your shell script. Such script than validates number and format of those parameters among other things. This is also useful during the development phase because none of us
