I average just above 20 seconds. About 20-22 seconds. I`m having troubles trying to break the sub-20 barrier, do you guys have any tips? I can post a video of some of my solves if you guys want. Thanks in advance:D

Alright. Do you have any better g-perms? I still have rotations in mine :P

Gc (1x2 on F, headlights on R): R2' F2 R U2' R U2' R' F R U R' U' R' F R2
Gd (1x2 on F, headlights on B): R2' F' R U R U' R' F' R U2' R' U2 R' F2 R2

I also use F' U' F R2 u R' U R U' R u' R2' for Gb, and when I do do Ga (which is rarely; J-Ab is fast and easier to predict AUF) I use R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2' b' R b. But these two aren't as good as the other two. Gc is my favourite.

Nice. I will use these.
 
I might be buying a Weilong soon, and I'm wondering, would it be neccessary to replace the springs and washers (maybe core) with dayan ones?
 
I learned to solve the Cube as a kid with NO book! Trial and error, now as an adult, I am using Dan Harris' book "Speed Solving the Cube" to relearn the final steps (which I forgot) and to get faster...

However, SEVERAL TIMES after I have the first two layers solved (easy) and the bottom edges lined up (that's next after the X on the bottom) and make the bottom solid, the book says you should have ONE corner solved and has a move to learn... nice when that is true. It says that it is impossible to have two corners solved. But I get that A LOT. It only offers "rotating 3 corners, one way or the other" OR (advanced) "swapping adjacent sides" or "swapping diagonal" but neither of those will work if you have TWO corners correct. Any of those moves will never correct the Cube.

Often the corners are ALL CORRECT, but in the wrong place - in fact, if I rotate the bottom one quarter turn, the Cube is solved on corners but ALL FOUR center/edges are off.

QUESTION: Is there an algorithm for swapping ALL FOUR bottom edges when the rest of the Cube is solved? As I end up there a LOT and have to just mess it up and start all over to get the "one correct corner" the book promises will be there for me.

Thanks anyone who can help me out!

I am using a Void Cube, so that may be the issue?

Nevertheless, here is how I keep ending up:

I finally decided to learn full PLL lol. Is there any particular order I should learn them in? What are the easiest ones to learn and fingertrick?

Learn G perms first because they're the most common ones. Many people avoid them; I still don't know Ga. T perm is a good one to learn because knowing it makes other PLLs easier, e.g. Jb and F. T perms are also really fast and easy to fingertrick. When you know Jb, Na isn't hard either. N perms are the least common ones though, so don't learn them until nearer the end.
I'm saying this guessing you've already learned Ua/Ub/H/Z//Aa/Ab/E for 2-look PLL; if you haven't already done so, learn those first.

If you use a void cube, you could often run into the so called "void cube parity". See more: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?6188-Void-Parity-Resolution-Algs
However, in your image, there is no parity, it seems a common H-PLL:

I have asked this question allready but i want something more specified about It OK?
Where can i buy ss 6x6 and 7x7 mini preverably black with paypal where no acount needed, and that it is not needed that tey send you the invoice.

Cube Depot is a USA-based store. It sells the ShengShou 6x6 and the ShengShou Mini 7x7. PayPal is accepted there. I am fairly sure that no account is required. I am not completely sure because I haven't ordered from there recently.
SpeedPuzzles is a USA-based store. It sells the ShengShou 6x6 and the ShengShou 7x7. PayPal is accepted there. No account is required.

SpeedPuzzles automatically sends an invoice; I'm not sure if Cube Depot does this too.

I hope this helps.

EDIT: Amazon sells the ShengShou 6x6 and the ShengShou Mini 7x7. PayPal is most likely accepted. An invoice is probably sent automatically.
