Whether you are rocking the Samsung Galaxy S5, Google Nexus 6 or another Android phone, these nine releases from 2014 should keep you busy for awhile.
Afterlight — Instagram images not dreamy and old-fashioned enough for you? Afterlight, new this year to Android, features 59 filters and 128 frames to give your photos that special hipster touch. ($0.99)
Chrome Remote Desktop — Like magic, this app lets users access files from their desktop computer through their phone or tablet. (Free)
Muzei — Staring at the same wallpaper everyday can be boring. Muzei (Russian for "museum") will refresh your homescreen every day with a famous piece of art or a photo from your gallery. (Free)
BreakFree — Engage with something called "real life" with this app, which can automatically reject calls, disable the Internet for a set amount of time, monitor smartphone usage and recommend when people might need a break. (Free)
Google Fit — This is not the first app to track fitness goals. What makes Google Fit special is that it can take data from other apps — like Nike+ and Runtastic — to give you a more complete picture of how active you are. (Free)
Hype Machine — Get hip to what all the kids are listening to with Hype Machine, which finds new music from blogs around the world and lets you stream it. ($3.99)
Horizon — No matter how you tilt your phone's camera, this app will automatically turn it into a horizontal photo. (Free)
SpinMe — Sorry, no snooze button here. Instead, you have to stand up and spin around twice to turn off this alarm clock. (Free)
Oyster — The "Netflix for e-books" service comes to Android with access to more than 500,000 books for $9.95 a month. (Free, plus subscription)
