Apart from the latest version of Android, the new OmniROM build some new features. It brings together, for example, a system-wide full-screen view, leaves the status and navigation bar disappear, allowing more space for the presentation of content.

Recently, the developers have the custom ROM also equipped with an integrated update function so that a manual update via the recovery is not necessary. The function is called Open Delta and is about the settings – to achieve Updates System – Over the phone. It was developed by Jorrit “Chain Fire” Jongma. Automatic updates can be limited or set to certain types of networks (2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Other). This Open Delta tries as little data as needed to download from OmniROM server. For this, it resembles the installed version from the current version and downloads only the files that have changed. The advantage: the size of the download and the duration of the update process can be significantly reduced. Currently, however, the update function works only with the recovery of TWRP. Open Delta is available as open source and can be used by other vendors Rome.
