how do I extract a cab file

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?

yeah dynamite, think the other way around.

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...

copy opengl .dll's from device?

Hi,
To link a gl app I need the respective .lib's for
libEGL.dll
libGLES_CM.dll
libGLESv1_CM.dll
libGLESv2.dll
I know how to turn these into libs once I've extracted the files, but here lies the problem.
when I try to copy them from the windows directory I get the message
"access is denied"
Anyone know how to grab these files from the device?
Jim

they are modules. so not easy to get out of a live rom..
it is easier to extract them from a dumped rom

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I dumped the ROM, extracted the .dll's and turned them into libs. I wanted to post them here so other dev's can use them.
headers are available from khronos group.
I've dumped the openVG as this is part of the EGL package.
Jim

dumping the rom
Hi dattrax,
can you describe how you dumped the rom and extracted the dll's.
I need to do the same thing.
Thanks

An APK file by nature is a ZIP file. The reported files/folders make up an APK file.

To install the APK replace file's extension "ZIP" by "APK".

Hello thank you sir,
but the problem I have exactly, is, when I download a zip file from github, your mentioned method wouldn't work.
Maybe you have another solution

That's the problem, you need to sign it first. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069287

That would be perfect
