So use the opposite edge alg you mean? Just treat it as a 4x4 with an extra layer in the middle?

No the OLL parity alg (the one where it seem like edge is "flipped")

Yes but for the one where I want to swap the edge pieces I just have to do the 4x4 alg and just treat the cube as a 4x4 with an extra layer in the middle?

Yes

5x5 alg that swaps UFr with UBr and UFl with UBl?

basically a better alg for [B U' L U:Rw2 F2 U2 r2 U2 F2 Rw2]

That would be kind of silly because that's a 3-cycle. x 2R2 U2 2R' D2 2R U2 2R' D2 2R' x'

Hey, because I'm stupid, I got impatient and messed it up and redid it again, now it's in a different state. The 4 bottom layers are solved, and I need to swap a red piece to a blue piece adjacently, and flip the orientations of those 2 yellow pieces.

I am pretty good at cubing to some extent, but while solving the 4×4 cube I frequently get in to this pattern where one adjacent edge needs to be swapped and all other pieces are in position.I have researched a lot and I couldn't find answer.. Here's the pic both front and the back.

It's called PLL parity, there's loads of algs in the wiki which swap either opposite edges, or adjacent (which is what you describe).

I'm compiling an easy 2x2 method, and I am wondering if there is a super easy algorithm that swaps two adjacent corners

T perm?

or J perm for more efficient, optimal is 10 moves

If you want it to be easy as possible, then maybe do CP first with Niklas, and then CO second with Sune. You don't have to orient first.

Can somebody give me a better alg for this 4x4 EPLL + Parity please?

r2 Uw2 r2 b2 U' r2 y r2 U r2 Uw2 y' r2

Wiki has other alternatives.

Thank you very much!

Does anyone have a better V perm? I'm really slow with the standard one

I use R U2 R' U2 L' U R U' L U' L' U R' U' L and mirror it across the other three angles. So you don't have to AUF.

(The alg is basically two COLLs cancelling into each other.)

 

[CubingGenius]

Can I please have two algorithms on 4x4; one where the centers are solved, EO is solved on every edge (including ones that are not paired up) and there are two edge pairs left to solve while preserving EO and one where the centers are solved, EO is solved on every edge (excluding one pair of non-paired up edges) and there are two edge pairs left to solve while preserving EO?

Setup to case #1: r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r' u' R U R' F R' F' R u

OH alg for this zbll and its mirror?

Don't really like that inverse...

I prefer R U2 R' D R U' R U' R U R2 D R' U' R D2
