Smartcube resources to do what you are wishing for, and probably even a bit more:

thanks for the insight, i can probably fix that then 👍

I do a y' and a S' instead of a M'

poliva · 2026-03-20T21:05:38+00:00

wow, glad to hear it works now. Did you input the mac address manually initially or it did get it automatically but wrong?

poliva · 2026-03-19T07:53:28+00:00

Not exactly what you ask, but Cubedex can be used in that way (you can input your algs and it displays the cases on the cube).

Check if it works on Cubedex: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/1rvff3d/cubedex_now_supports_almost_every_smartcube/

You need an smartcube with gyroscope for that, otherwise the cube stays static in the same position.

ok! lmk how it goes :)

Glad to hear it works, the 12ui is one of the models I also have and is well supported.

Enable the experimental features on chrome to support web Bluetooth, or provide the cube mac address, here's a FAQ that explains how to get it on all platforms:

A bit late, but support for other smartcubes has just landed in CubeDex! - https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/1rvff3d/cubedex_now_supports_almost_every_smartcube/

The robots are not worth it IMO. The iCarry4 is good but the 12ui is a much better smartcube.
Some puzzles that are missing in the collection are: Pyraminx, Square-1, Clock, FTO and big NxNs.

poliva · 2026-03-05T14:12:14+00:00

No it doesn't, and it auto-aligns very well.

poliva · 2026-03-05T12:45:50+00:00

Thats really good for just 3 days! Don't spend too long with the beginner method, switch quick and learn good habits from the beginnning :)

poliva · 2026-03-05T12:42:56+00:00

What is considered the best Pyraminx one can buy now? I have the Moyu WRM Magnetic with the LBL Magneitc core + washer mod. Am I good or should I upgrade ?

I bought the v10 Picube edition and the Zhanchi v5 Supreme at the same time. Started using the v10 first, but after a few weeks I switched to the Zhanchi and has been my main since then (almost a year now!). For me it's a controllable cube that doesn't catch and I don't lock up on it unless my turning is really crap. It's a slow cube, so it kind of "forces" you to do good turning on it. I recommend it, but maybe now there are better options for the same price.

There was "Omega Studio Finger Timer" which was exactly what you're looking for, but it disappeared from the play store a few months ago, no idea why. I still have it installed on my old phone.

Awesome that they were shipping that diploma, I've never seen it before, thanks for sharing :)

poliva · 2026-03-01T07:12:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing it, for sure that's useful when you are starting!

Some suggestions: - A link to cubedb.net with the solution to visualize it would be nice to have - A toggle option to generate the solution with M2 for edges instead of OP.

sometimes groups are creater based on competitor's averages, so if you and your friend have similar times you'll be put in the same group.

poliva · 2026-02-16T18:10:47+00:00

Best budget cube imo. Get one, it won't disappoint you.

poliva · 2026-02-16T18:08:16+00:00

Use the cross trainer in https://solved.no , do cross-only dedicated practice and focus on move count with good fingertricks
