When solving the cube using the fridrich method when I get to using 2 look OLL I always waste 1+ second rotating the cube with y2s for the corners orient and the L with the edges orientate. Does anyone has a list of 2 look Oll alg mirrored. (except for some cases which can be perform both sides) Thanks
 
Depends on which is faster. If you are trained in using your left hand it's easy to mirror some of the algs. I like to mirror the Sune cases especially since I can make use of both hands if it's the mirror.

It depends on what case you have, but AUF is probably your best option, rather than cube rotation. Although Sune and Anti Sune are still pretty fast when using the left hand.

The way I mirror algs depends on if I know the alg in muscle memory or not. If I do, I just mirror my right hand, with my left. So sexymove (RUR'U') turns into up pull down push (well really it's an opposite pull but that's a little long to say). Now my left hand goes up pull down push.

If you don't have it in muscle memory, you can just swap L for R and inverse it. So R becomes L' and R' becomes L. U and D will always stay the same, and F and B don't get swapped but you still inverse them.

For some cases, it's easier to learn their mirror. Others it's not. Another example is the chameleon case where it's easier to just do a left handed sexymove + sledgehammer except you use r for the first turn of sexy move and sledgehammer (r U R' U' r' F R F' which turns into l' U' L U l F' L' F).

And he posted exactly in the right subforum. I find it embarrassing that people still get made fun of for that.

hic0057, as most people are saying here, fast cubers find it easier to do an AUF (U-turn until the layer's in the right orientation) for these.
Sometimes, a mirror alg helps, like R2D'RU2'R'DRU2'R for R2'DR'U2RD'R'U2R'. But that's not really necessary, unless every little detail in speed already matters to you.

Please, try and clarify your sentences. I find it quite difficult trying to decipher what the question is.
Secondly, orientate isn't a word. Try "orient".
From what I gathered, you want algs for all U-rotations of the "L" edge-orientation case and the corner orientations.

For the "L" edge-orientation case, I use two algorithms.
If the "L" is in the back left, use F U R U' R' F'.
If the "L" is in the front right, use f R U R' U' f'.
For the other two U-rotations, use U or U' to get it to one of the two aforementioned cases.

Corner-orientation: use U-rotations or mirror on left, implying you use right-handed algs.

Where was your niceness when I was first joined and was getting made fun of? =( yeah I'll keep me mouth shut next time.
