how do I extract a cab file

[aznatama]

okay, so I looked at all the rom cooking wiki's, and rom update wikis... can't find out if this is even possible or how to do it.

basically, there's some games and applications built into some of my roms that I want to have in one of the custom cooked roms that I liked. so how do I move it over? is this even possible?

if so, I haven't been able to find any posts about this... so sorry if it's already posted somewhere.

TIA

you must have the phone connected to your computer. move the cab file over to your phone after syncing. Find the file on your phone , click and install.

I know how to install cab files... I mean extract them... is there a way to extract a program that's already on an existing rom?

for example... xxx's WM6.1 rom has game A included. how do I extract that so I can put game A on my phone?

extremly difficult...all though it is possible its not worth the effort...you would have to go through file explorer and find each file accociated with that program...then every regestry key...then create a cab from these files that would install them into each appropriate directory....yea...
