Thanks, I have already turned off the memory extension and I didn't have the the rom file (I did a fastboot install). So is this size normal ?? What's taking so much space for the system. The ROM itself is around 4GB only

The rom is compressed when you download the zip.
I'm guessing you didn't look at any unboxing videos showing how much the factory MIUI used out of the box.
to be honest I m kind of shocked by my new phone, my old one was a xiaomi 4x (with xiaomi.eu rom installed also) so I'm kind of perplexed with all the new (mostly unwanted) features. I thought that the eu rom with less bloatware would take much less space, but if this is the expected behaviour, I would say my next step would be to uninstall system apps one by one. The playstore, and some xiaomi ones come in mind

Only removing apps installed on the data partition will save you space. Using root access to remove system apps won't gain you anything because the system partition size is fixed, and you won't be able to use that space for anything else easily. There are other roms available for that device elsewhere if you wanted to try something other than MIUI such as PixelExperience, but it looks like the maintainer of the LineageOS branch for that device already moved onto something else, so 3rd party support for spens seems to be dying off pretty quickly, as it usually does for many of the value priced devices as people upgrade.to be honest I m kind of shocked by my new phone, my old one was a xiaomi 4x (with xiaomi.eu rom installed also) so I'm kind of perplexed with all the new (mostly unwanted) features.

Ok I get you, so only by changing ROMs I can claim more space for data partition. Thanks your advice is valuable .
I like the xiaomi.eu roms because they are stable and I don't have to much worry about potential bugs, so I will stick to it for some time even with reduced size and I will keep an eye in XDA forums.
Can I ask another maybe stupid question about the A/B partitions? right now my eu rom resides on A partition, so probably B has stock inside. If I flash a new rom , if I get it correctly it will install in B partition. So the question is , if I install a smaller sized ROM and then go back to xiaomi.eu rom will I get more space as the partition size will change for the B partition, are I just havent got the A/B concept correct??
Thanks again fro your help

I'm not 100% but I don't believe that device actually uses Treble (A/B) properly. I think you can install Treble Checker from Google Play to check that. By default MIUI will keep updating on the currently selected slot, so usually A. Switching slots will probably just result in bootloops as the \data partition doesn't change and the data stored there won't apply to the rom installed in the other slot. So it's best to pretend the other slot doesn't exist.
So I got a lemon you mean?? well that's part of me being overwhelmed. Like I told you I had a Redmi 4X for 5 years now no problems and it was a budget model, and this one is full of issues and things and everything is a bit crooked
Thanks though you gave answers to a lot of the questions I had.
When I get bold enough I will try to flash some other rom that is smaller.

Well it's more that you bought a device with too little internal storage. If it does support A/B that'd be a big reason why you have so little free space left on the device out of the box/even with a clean flash. Generally I'd recommend 128GB as a minimum these days due to the system taking up twice as much space as it really needs to, and usually 256GB on devices that don't have a SDXC slot for expandability like my Poco F3.So I got a lemon you mean?? well that's part of me being overwhelmed.

My previous phone, a Redmi Note 5 Pro didn't use A/B partitioning for updates and had 64GB of internal storage, but even then I had a 128GB sd card in the second sim slot. My wifes was the same phone but the 32GB model along with the same SD card and she wore out her internal storage.
Here's a link to Treble Check on the playstore so you can know for sure whether that device uses A/B or not.

Check your device for Project Treble support and more
Google implemented it to help with OEM rom upgrades to help folks that had a bad flash return to a working system, and to make updates more seemless with background installs. Though for us running third party roms, it basically just ends up stealing space from us, since most non-OEM roms don't take advantage of both partitions for seemless updates.

Just the super partition (that houses the logical partitions) is 8.5 GB, that's factory predefined and has nothing to do with this or any other ROM, and that's just the space for the system itself in a non-optimized state. Stock ROMs are pre-optimized since they were built from sources. Our ROM is modified and thus cannot be pre-optimized, so the optimization happens on first boot and the optimized code is saved on user data partition. Moreover we have some apps that are not included in stock ROMs, like all of the Super wallpapers. So yes, it will take more usable space than a stock ROM.So I got a lemon you mean?? well that's part of me being overwhelmed.

If you don't like that, use a stock ROM or a non-MIUI custom ROM that was built from sources and pre-optimized.

No, you have nothing on slot B, it's not used at all on our ROMs as we have no A/B updates (I'm talking about the super partition, not the firmware which is kept identical on both slots and doesn't take much space anyway). It doesn't matter anyway because the super partition is 8.5 GB fixed and nothing will change that (it's even slightly larger on newer flagships, 9 GB if I remember correctly).

Many times we can see apps that takes too long to launch. Specially in custom Roms.

Hello... About the bugs in this rom, do i need to report bugs for my phone? If others has reported those bugs for their different phones using this rom, will those get fixed in new update for my phone? Thanks. I really like this rom.
Flashed stable version on Note 9 Pro (joyeuse - xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote9ProEU_V13.0.4.0.SJZMIXM_v13-12).
I noticed separate sliders for VoLTE and WoWIFI are gone -- there is only one slider.
Developers -- any chance to bring VoLTE toggle back?
My operator does not support Note 9 and VoLTE does not work properly - callers are not recognized (unknown caller).
Solution was to toggle both settings off. With MIUI 13 this toggle does nothing for VoLTE, it is always on. Tryed with USSD code, no help either.
All I can do is to switch to 3G.

I'm living in Hungary and I have separate VoLTE and VoWIFI toggles in settings (tested using Telekom/Yettel/Digi SIM cards and not just the toggles are there but both services are working, too).
Just a feature request but alot of these phones if not all of them have a Bluetooth 5.1chip meaning they can connect and play from multiple Bluetooth devices at once but they never added this feature in the ROM. Would it be possible to add this?
Like Samsung's dual audio or Xiaomis Bluetooth share (believe they only added this for 1 phone despite all having the specs to do it)

Yeah alot of these phones already have the hardware to be able to do it though, dual audio was a feature realsed by Bluetooth I believe in there 5.1 chips, only Samsung really took advantage of it though

Having the required hardware is not enough if the software implementation is missing.
Fair enough, I believe it's possible so I'm going to look into it do y'all have a GitHub or discord where I can post commits?
