At the end of everything, the ads are a small price to pay for having a Live Wallpaper that looks this cool. The ads are a little on the annoying side, but hey, the developers have to make money somehow.

All in all, it isn’t bad choice if you’ve been searching for a new Live Wallpaper. You can increase or decrease the rate at which the dots fade in and out and you can also change the size of the dots too. You can change the color at anytime by opening up the Nexus 4 Dot “app” that’s downloaded to your phone. This live wallpaper comes in a variety of different colors – white, purple, red, blue, green, and yellow – and each of them look great. Instead, the ads only show when you’re in the Live Wallpaper settings menu, leaving you free to enjoy your incredibly cool wallpaper while you’re on your home screen. It’s free, but that doesn’t mean that it will populate your home screen with ads. It’s possible that a future update to the Google Now Launcher will eventually bring these wallpapers to existing devices. The full resolution images are available to download in the gallery below.Well, for starters, you could download Wasabi’s new Nexus 4 Dot Live Wallpaper for your device, which brings a little Nexus 4 style to your smartphone.
