Merge super_*.img_* files

[giant_ant_tiny_elephant]

Hello everybody!
Anybody knows how to merge these multiple {Mod edit} into one super.img file? I wanna obtain the LG Velvet's color emoji ttf file, and they're extracted from G90010s_0_user-signed-ARB0_COM1_EU_OP_1229.dz firmware file. Thanks in advance.
(BTW I don't have the LG phone )

Where the attached image went?
Anyways, you put nulls between those images. One way to do it is to minus the numbers at the end of file names and then multiply that number with block size which is in this case 4096. Like this:
super.img_0
<here (10-0)*4096 nulls>
super.img_10
<here (30-10)*4096 nulls>
super.img_30
<... and so on...>

And what is the software I must use to merge these {Mod edit} chunks?

Copy will do. And there is plenty of those Python scripts out there that you probably used to get this far. Some of them might do it for you, but I don't know much about them. Some work for some and some don't.
Then you'll have to extract that super too...
Probably binwalk or something like it would be an easier or a faster approach... ?

I want to do it on Windows.
For example, the super chunk filename is:
super_xxx.img_yyy
Can you explain me what are the xxx and yyy numbers mean?

Last one is probably chuck's place on the on the disk (yyy).
Python runs on Windows...

LG Velvet's color emoji ttf file, and they're extracted from G90010s_0_user-signed-ARB0_COM1_EU_OP_1229.dz

Hmm... depends what you're after but that G90010s firmware might be old. The new ones came with Android 11 according to this article: https://blog.emojipedia.org/lg-emojis-return-to-say-goodbye/
You might want to try with newer one. G900EM20j seems to be latest at the moment...

LG-Kdz-downloader (updated)

A small batch tool to download kdz files from LG servers. Just because I don't want use some unknown tools out there. Post at XDA: https://f...

Anybody has extracted/obtained that {Mod edit} emoji file from the LG Velvet phone or firmware here? Please upload the file to GDrive and send the link to me. Thank you.

It usually named *ColorEmoji.ttf and located at /system/fonts

Extracting it for you would be just a waste of time...
I did enough of that in this thread already.

Have fun!

For those who have the LG Velvet phone, download the FX File Explorer app from Play Store. If you already have the app, you can open it. Then go to System → /system/fonts, look for a file named LGColorEmoji.ttf, copy to the internal storage and upload to GDrive, and then send the link to me through conversation.

LGColorEmoji.ttf

There wasn't such. All I could find was one with the name {Mod edit}ColorEmoji.ttf...
Just try to do it yourself, it's not that hard...

I don't have the LG phone, but I really like that {Mod edit} emoji file (because of the flag emojis wave style are similar like Apple's) and even I'd like to replace my phone's current emoji with that one. If it's found from the LG Velvet phone, please upload that {Mod edit} to GDrive then send the link to me through conversation.

look for a file named LGColorEmoji.ttf

Got myself now interested in this Super of LGs, and it's "differencies". While checking them (and wasting some more time), I also extracted that newer kdz. Found just a file named "NotoColorEmoji.ttf".
Hope it's what you're looking for... (*)

Have fun!

(* edit: probably not, see the post #19 for more...)

Thanks so much and sorry for wasting your time...
Have fun too!

BTW, What is the firmware version, build date, and its Android version?

Deleted the folder already. It's the one I mentioned earlier, post #8.
As you see it's Android 11 (R).
(It was put to LG's server on Tue, 14 Dec 2021)

Oh sorry, I almost forget.
The emojis must look exactly like in this Emojipedia page:

LG Emoji List [Updated: September 2021]

emojipedia.org

And I Hate the Google's Stock Emoji.

So, do they look like them then? That is the only one I found. Didn't check it or anything...

BTW, What is the firmware version, build date, and its Android version?

Just checked a T-mobile Velvet 5G firmware released on Monday. Found LGNotoColorEmoji.ttf in it.
Naturally I now had to extract that G900EM20j again to see if I just missed it...
Now it was in /system/system_ext/fonts/ folder.
It probably was hiding somewhere else last time... odd.

The build date was Wed Nov 17 15:46:24 IST 2021
So it took almost a month to put it to their server...

The T-mobile version is a bit bigger. I'll attach that as well.

Now enjoy!
