If my opponent attacks with Akroma, Angel of Wrath and I block with two 4/4 creatures. How the damage will resolve ?
My guess is that the first 4/4 dies and the second one no.
You're correct. Assuming you are blocking with fliers that aren't black or red; first strike damage happens, Akroma deals 4 damage to the first blocker, killing it, and 2 to the second. Then during normal combat damage the remaining blocker deals 4 to Akroma, both survive.
No, you do not receive damage from Akroma, as all 6 damage she dealt during combat was blocked.
Assuming the blockers have flying and they are not red or block (since that would make this block illegal):
One 4/4 will die and the other will live. This is because Akroma deals 6 damage total. You block with 2 creatures and the attacking player orders them in the Damage Assignment Order they want. This means that they order them in the order they want them to take damage and each one will receive damage only if the previous in the order received lethal damage.
In this case, they order it so the first 4/4 receives 4 damage and the other receives 2. Then, the first 4/4 dies due to having lethal damage marked on it. Then, the remaining 4/4 deals its damage to Akroma so she will have 4 damage marked on her. This happens because Akroma has first strike so she deals her damage first which happens to kill one of the blockers before it gets to deal damage to Akroma.
You will not receive any damage from Akroma since the Trample only affects damage "left over" that was not dealt to the creatures. Since all 6 damage was dealt to the blockers, there is nothing left to assign to you.
Note that if the attcking player wanted, they could deal all 6 damage to the first 4/4 and none to the second.
yes, four first strike kills the first one, then two first strike to second one which survives. no damage to you.
then your remaining 4/4 deals 4 back to akroma, which does not kill it.
.
Just want to confirm, should it not be 4 damage (to the player) in the Double Strike scenario?
Akroma attacks (6/6 w/ Double Strike - only relevant ability for this question), two 4/4 creatures (assume legal) block.
In the first strike phase she deals 4 damage to blocker A, killing it, and 2 damage to blocker B. Then during the standard combat phase she deals 2 damage again to blocker B (with trample only needing to assign enough to kill it, and it already has 2 damage marked on it), then she can assign 4 damage to the player. Blocker B also deals 4 damage in this phase to Akroma, which does not kill her.
Am I missing something? Just looking to confirm. Thanks.

And do I receive damage from Akroma ?
No, you do not receive damage from Akroma, as all 6 damage she dealt during combat was blocked.

Let's extrapolate.
And if instead first strikie, Akroma had Double Strike ? What would happen ?
Assuming the blocks are legal.
Akroma attacks (6/6 w/ Double Strike - only relevant ability for this question), two 4/4 creatures (assume legal) block.
In the first strike phase she deals 4 damage to blocker A, killing it, and 2 damage to blocker B. Then during the standard combat phase she deals 2 damage again to blocker B (with trample only needing to assign enough to kill it, and it already has 2 damage marked on it), then she can assign 4 damage to the player. Blocker B also deals 4 damage in this phase to Akroma, which does not kill her.
