F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) – is a file system designed specifically for flash memory (eMMC / SD cards).

According to the tests result F2FS file system outperforms EXT4. Tests results can be found at XDA forum.

Attention! – All data in the internal memory will be deleted (Data + Internal Storage).

Required *** TWRP and F2FS support ***

1. Boot your device into TWRP mode (Press Volume “+” and the power button)
2. Select “Wipe” > “Advanced Wiper”
3. Select “Cache” and then click “Repair or Change File System”
4. Select “Change File System”
5. Choose “F2FS”
6. Swipe to the right
7. Repeat the same steps for “Data” partition

In order to change file system to EXT4 it is required you should do practically the same, but this time you need to choose “EXT4”.

The same steps can be done with a MicroSD card. Choose “MicroSD” in the step 3. (In this case there might be problems with connection to the PC)

The thing is that you can’t fully use Titanium Backup on Xiaomi.eu & MiuPro. To use Titanium Backup on Xiaomi you’ll need additional root access. This can be achieved by installing SuperSU.

Guide on how to install SuperSU and use Titanium Backup with root access.

1. Download SuperSU from Google Market : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
2. Install & open SuperSU
3. Press “Continue”
4. Press “Normal”, after that you’ll see error message “Installation is not successful”. Don’t be afraid.
5. Look for “Security” app on your phone. Open it.
6. You’ll see native app interface with a lot of settings. Click “Permissions”.
7. In the next window click on “Root Access”
8. Next activate “SuperSU” access. (Press on the switcher)
9. After that you should see a warning window. Press and hold “Allow” for a few seconds.
10. Now open SuperSU and repeat steps 3 & 4.
11. You should see message “Installation is completed! Reboot your device”.
12. Press “Ok”

Congratulations! After this SuperSU will take control over applications that require root access.

In “Permissions” tab you can set up additional settings:

1. Autostart: Just move the swipe to the right.
2. Permissions: As for me, I usually disable this option, because it leads to a lot of modal windows.
