[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Leo Zappa:
[MENTION=4872765]itsita[/MENTION], sure I don't mind! Though I am not sure what you refer to when you say that the writing is too big for the page, maybe I can give more useful information if you elaborate a little bit :)

Anyway, here is my setup, more or less. These are my settings on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

INPUT

I use hardware detection for the S-pen, of course, allow scrolling with one finger (personal preference), zoom with two fingers and zoom with double-clik. I set 20mm minimal distance between fingers and 2500ms delay for the zoom gesture (this avoids almost completely any involuntary zoom when resting my palm on the screen), and activate the Savitzky-Golay filter with strength 9. I also use the pressure filter at 8%, but this is strongly dependent on my Bamboo Stylus pen, for which I also had to adjust the "input shift" a little bit. My rationale for the pressure filter is that I do not want ugly tiny tails after each letter, but still want to be able to write dots and accents quickly. Just experiment with it, if you are unsure, leave the pressure filter off or at a 1%-2%. Do not raise it too high if you don't have a good reason.

I also disabled Air Command in the device main settings, so that in Lecture Notes I could activate the stylus button, which I use as "Undo" (again, it's a matter of personal preference).

I do not use any kind of hover indicator: neither the device's one, nor the one that you can setup in Lecture Notes.

If you are having trouble with palm rejection, e.g. you involuntarily zoom or scroll when resting your palm on the screen, try disabling one-finger scroll and/or zoom with two fingers. You can also lock zoom and scrolling when a pencil is activated: in the notebbok main view, tap on the pencil button and choose the last option in the menu: it's something like "disable zoom/scrolling".

HANDLING (or whatever it is in English: the section of the app settings where pressure sensitivity can be adjusted)

I go to the pressure sensitivity settings and choose minimal thickness 1% and minimal opacity 70%. The effect of the latter also depends on the pressure filter chosen above, and on the fact that I use a Bamboo stylus rather than the stock S-pen. Raise the minimal opacity if your writing looks washed out. Keeping it at 100% (opacity does not vary with pressure) is completely safe and sensible.

NOTEBOOK SETTINGS

This might be relevant since you were talking about writing "too big": I use the device in landscape orientation, with pages at the suggested resolution for portrait A4, i.e. 2560 x 3623. I use a ruled pattern with scale 50%. I never zoom when writing. I can comfortably write on each line of the notebook (except for equations, where I skip one or two lines), though if this is a problem for you consider raising the scale to something like 68%-70%, which gives approximately the same distance between lines as on a physical notebook when you print your notes on A4 paper with minimal margins.

PENCIL SETTINGS

Again, I never zoom when writing! I use a custom pencil with thickness ~2.00, 100% opacity, smoothness 0%, dark blue or black, pressure sensitive, not direction dependent. I find that a thickness above 2.00 makes me write larger than how I write on physical paper.

That's it! Sometimes I use the device in portrait mode, then I use different notebooks with appropriate settings: the suggested resolution for A4 in portrait mode, pattern scale 68% or even 100%, slightly higher or lower pencil thickness depending on how fast I am writing. However I do not find it too difficult to use my notebooks set up for Landscape (as described above) also when the device is in portrait orientation. I just skip some lines. Again, I never apply any zoom.

I hope this helps, cheers! :)
