Is there a way to recognize the "small L" OLLs quickly? (olls like this)

With most OLLs, I just see the pattern on top and then I look at a certain side or two, and I'm good.
But with these, I haven't found a good strategy yet. First I notice the pattern on top, and then I look all around to check if there are 3 yellow stickers on any side, and I also check if there is a block of 2 yellow stickers anywhere. So right now these are basically "3-look" OLLs for me.

Yea I hate those too. Its just a matter of doing a lot of solves and just knowing. you will get used to it. I especially hate those with the corners in chameleon orientation <_< I mess those up the most

How come I am not able to open ACube?

 

[EricReese]

Why would you sell it it's a nice addition to a collection. Dont tell me it's for money you probably sold it for <10$

I have too many cubes. I sold it and a v5 for 40 dollars.

On a related note, I am selling a black xcube for around 30 dollars. I let mike kotch (that 70s show dude) feel it last competition, first words were "wow, this is amazing". He averages like 1:00 on 4x4 and his main is a maru. I'm trying to get rid of a lot of my cubes, so let me know if you want this.

If you try to open the Java file, it won't work. Use the Batch file included (called "run") to open it, or manually open it by typing "@java -cp ACube3.jar ACube %1" when you're under the directory the Java file is in.

I personally have the lun hui.. I think that the guhong is better, but mine was stolen ';..;'
My question is:
I am using the line:
~UD 401 -? -? -? -? ? ? ? ? !! ??
in ACube. The result I get is M U2 M U2 M U M. The problem is that the DF edge is flipped.... Any ideas why?

Does the fat part of the C4Y spring go up (away from core) or down (towards the core)?

Closest to the core. (It acts as a washer)

Is there a way to unorient the top layer corners to just H and Pi cases for CLL?

 

[Hershey]

Use the Batch file included (called "run") to open it

Yeah, I see that file, but how do you use it?

Probably not effecient, but you can would be sorta 2 look CLL

 

[Erzz]

Yeah, I see that file, but how do you use it?

Which operating system are you using by the way?

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Probably not effecient, but you can would be sorta 2 look CLL

Yeah but how.
EDIT: I mean unoriented the last face while putting the last piece in the first layer.

 

[Cool Frog]

Yeah but how.

Use the opposite Winter variation algorithm. could be one way
Or put the piece in then do the "OLL" on the section you want misoriented.

Just out of curiosity, how does one become a mod?

I'm not saying I want to be one especially since I'm not eligible to become one. But I have always wondered how mods are chosen.
