Which oll's to learn first if i know 2l oll

You could either start with the easy cases and get quite a few under your belt quickly. I went for dot cases first as these are most lengthy in 2loll.

which ones are easy

 

[EricReese]

Some moar 2x2 questions...is there a God's algorithm for completing one layer?

 

[Selkie]

which ones are easy

Badmephisto's site categorises the OLLs per trigger http://badmephisto.com/oll.php which may be a good way to learn. Always compare the algs on a site to the Wiki here as you may find an alternative that is better for you. If I had realised this I would not have re-learned 8 OLLs a second time around!

I followed the advise of the community here when learning them. It seems a daunting task but if you learn them slowly there are actually not that difficult and well worth the effort. Best of luck

My solve times are increasing... 30 secs went to 35-40 how much should I practice a day?

 

[protocoldoug]

How do you tell the difference between a DaYan Guhong and a DaYan Lingyun? (e.g. by taking them apart, or otherwise positively identifying them. [I have both, but, maybe have mixed them up after taking them out of the boxes!)

Thanks in advance + ultra thanks *thumbs up*

 

[EricReese]

The logos on them

 

[amostay2004]

Dayan LingYun is the slightly smaller one

 

[protocoldoug]

Cool! One is a little smaller (unfortunately they came with the same logos, though!) Thanks guys

It doesn't really matter, so long as you are actually practicing, and not just mechanically doing solves.
When I practice, I usually go for a solid 1-2 hours

What do u mean mechanically doing solves

 

[EricReese]

He means you shouldn't just be scrambling/solving/rescrambling/repeat

You should actually practice, like with a metronome for F2L, or work on your fingertricks for your PLLs/OLLs etc

is there anything which can be done to a shengshou 2x2 to make it better?

Tension and lube it for sure. I just lubed it again, after a few months, and it's much better. Also, when I got it, it seemed to have internal pops, so I played with the tensions, and that made it great.

I posted this as a thread, however I was told to post it as a one answer...
This is about the 4x4(I forgot to specify in the post):
Hi, I was wondering if there is a pure dedge flip that I can use that does not mess with centers at all OR swaps them in a perpendicular to the dedge being flipped, so that you can do something like r parity r' without it messing up the centers. Sorry if there is a post somewhere about this, I couldnt find one.

Lube it with either shock oil or lubix. A great way to break it in is to tighten it all the way, then play around with it for a while.
