HD2 Energy Rom 10/14 steals battery!

I really like energy rom for my HD2 . After month and half I re-flashed HD2 device from later august energy rom to current one - 14.10.2010. I have chose great looking .Sencity theme, see attached screenshot. I love it. But the worst surprise wait for me. After two weeks of using I can say that current energy version consumes two times more of battery. HD2 has drain the whole battery within three days, but current version is out easily in one or one and half day. Consider if you need to move on to new version! I have suspected lock screen of Cookie Home Tab in beta 2 but switching to the normal build-in one didn't improve battery consumption and the only app I have installed is great Twitter MoTweets . Maybe it can be caused by the whole betaversion of CHT. NRG still supports CTH in final 1.8.5 version. So, I'll try it :-)

C#: LINQ and Foreach performance comparison

I'm currently solving performance issues we have programmed within the last milestone. A lot of bugs were already fixed but very interesting issue hasn't. I have liked and preferred LINQ queries over simple foreach command. Mentioned performance issue was based on the following query. Entity e = entities.Where(e => e.Id.Equals(id)).FirstOrDefault(); Our list contains few items, for the worst case the only one. It's necessary to make the search because there can be obviously more items. I was surprised by results raised from simple test which is attached at the bottom of current article. Test simply inserts 1, 50 and finally 100 unique entities to the list. Each entity holds only string identificator (UUID). Each listed algorithm try to find entity placed at the end. I have tried these approaches: LINQ query simple foreach map having entity id as key The result is very interesting as attached table and chart show. The map was included only for the confront

JDownloader: hotfile, rapidshare best downloader

I was used Free download manager to download my favorite TV series (e.g. IT Crowd or new interesting BBC's Sherlock) from well know data storages, like rapidshare or hotfile . I've tried JDownloader and I'm really impressed all those features which the tools provides in comparison with standard lightweight managers. Interesting features you can only copy links to download into the clipboard at your favorite forum, switch the focus back to JDownloader, it automatically use these links as datasource, add them into link grabber and than check their online status (if they are downloadable)! You can see their availability in a few seconds support the usage of huge amount of paid accounts. You simply add your credentials into system, add links and it works - download files - you need obviously possess these accounts :-)  build in extract support - if you add links to the data spread into more rars, the JDownloader's plugin can unrar them after successful download a
