CABs ROM and APP makers help me out here :D

[davenukem]

Hey there, i'm going to ask this question because i can't seem to find the answer anywhere else and I think an answer would be genuinely helpful for those that like to help themselves (I TRIED! ).

I have a program to make cabs, cabwiz, makes the process easy... but I want to know how do you make them the HARD way... if there is such a thing? Also, are there any guides that can help me out in learning how to make cabs and such.

Second, if i have a cab file for a program and i want to expand or extract the programs from the cab file how exactly do i go about doing this. When i install them onto my phone the result i achieve is DRASTICALLY different than just extracting a cab onto my desktop. How do i end up with all of the jpgs used in the cab or the .exe itself which the cab install creates?

Any help would be appreciated thanks.
