TimeTable++ Schedule helps students manage study life

While your calendar started filling up when your work started taking over your life, can you remember that a few years back, your life may have been a little more complicated, at least schedule-wise? Yes, when you were still a student, whether high school or college, balancing your life was not that easy, with classes, homeworks, projects and a social life. Fortunately for students, there are now apps to help them take hold of their academic life (wherein we just used to do it on pen and paper).



One of those helpful tools is TimeTable++ Schedule, a full calendar app that is specifically targetted for students to help them not just keep track of their class schedule. It will also help plot out and remind them of their homeworks, quiz schedules, projects. It can also help the kids monitor their class performance by letting them input their exam results. And yes, cancellation of classes and free time and days can also be inputted to give them something to look forward to.


There are an unlimited number of timetables that can be put in the app, and these are also easily shareable with their classmates and friends. They can share it through social networks but also through email if they want to be more private. Another great feature of the app (well, great for teachers we guess) is that you have the option to mute it during classes scheduled in the calendar, just in case you forget to manually mute it or turn it off.


All of the features of TimeTable++ Schedule is available in the free version. But if you want to get rid of the ads, you can upgrade in-app. Otherwise, just download the free app from Google Play Store.

Chrome OS update for Stable Channel released with MTP

Chrome OS’ Stable Channel has recently been updated for all Chrome OS-powered, Chromeboxes excluded. The 38.0.2125.101 update is released for Stable Channel and is expected to roll out in most Chrome devices the next few days.



Some changes the update will bring include MTP support in the Files app. This means you can simply connect your Android phone to get files. Touch screen accessibility has also been enhanced for a better Chrome OS experience. Google also made some security fixes to the platform.


Google has been giving developers, researchers, and ordinary people the chance to help out in building Chrome OS by accepting fixes. Monetary rewards are generously given to people for helping Google and spotting the bugs. One smart and lucky person is Jüri Aedla for letting Google know of a combination of V8 and IPC bugs, which the search giant believes will ‘lead to remote code execution outside of the sandbox’. Google gave Jüri Aedla a total $27633.70 as cash reward.


Google’s Chromium Security team wants to bring a more secure platform for Chrome and Chrome OS users so it launched a program and asked interested parties to discover and fix the bugs, as well as, implement and improve security features and security hardening measures. All you need to do is find and report security bugs you encounter. You may quality for a cash reward through Google’s Vulnerability Rewards Program. Google will certainly appreciate your report and recommendations.

CyanogenMod 11 M11 is out with another round of polishes

No, you're not seeing double. This is indeed CM11 M11, or to be more verbose, the 11th milestone release for CyanogenMod version 11. This release is sort of less spectacular than previous ones and probably rightly so. It hints that most of the development is now focused more on fine tuning than introducing big, invasive, and potentially disruptive features. It could also be the calm before the storm when Android L is released and all development hell breaks loose.



New devices have been added to the officially supported roster, a mix of both old and new, and probably some never heard of, models such as the Galaxy S4 Active, the Galaxy S4 SK (SK Telecom variant), the Galaxy S5 GSM, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the Galaxy Player 4.0. Of course, there might be some devices in the official list that might not have an M11 image built for them, but, as always, that is no cause for panic. It doesn't mean that the device has been dropped, only that it is missing out on this particular iteration.


Majority of the changes in this release involves fixes to existing features, such as fixing the arrangement of Navigation arrows keys in RTL (right to left) setups, preventing the playing of sound while in the middle of a call, addressing GPS and NFC issues on last year's LG G2, and laying the foundations for the HTC Desire 816 and the HTC One mini 2, though actual builds for these two devices are not yet available.


With development seemingly settling down, some users or onlookers might wonder if CyangenMod 11 will ever see a "stable" release. CM developers explained the situation last month and, for all intents and purposes, these M releases can be considered as the monthly stable builds in the absence of a more formal one. That said, things are most likely to pick up pace once again when Google unfurls the next version of Android either late this month or early November, with all the API changes, design shifts, and new features that it will bring.
