How to extract apps from windows 10 mobile ?

I have to extract settings > Extras > touch, from my lumia 640, How can i do that ?

What I did was that I sent the link in onedrive to myself by email,opened the email in the email app on my phone,clicked the link , downloaded the touch setting ,then opened the downloaded touch setting in the file explorer and there I was given the option to install it.After installing it I went to settings and I found 'touch ' there in Extras.You can directly type the link in Edge on mobile too ,I suppose.
There may be some other way to do it but I had no problems in this way.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/touch/9nblggh319dm This is the app, when I click on "Get the app" it opens store. how to email the direct link so it gets download by edge and get stored in file explorer
 
How you have managed to get that .appx file ? and is this file safe ? How you make sure that they are not modified ?

I did not have any problems.If you click on the file it downloads.
I too was hesitant and nervous initially as I am not a tech person

Edit : I got the files from a link on the Windows Central Forum site.

My son got W10 on Insider Production build yesterday and he did not have Equaliser and touch settings in Extras.Today he got both of them (audio and touch .appx files) by typing link in Edge browser and then downloading & installing them.He too did not have any problems and has turned vibration in navigation bar off.
 
do you have OEM app for the FM radio app ?

That is a link I got from Windows Central.The link has settings files of 10586 build of Windows 10 mobile.If you need FM radio you can get good third party apps from Store.'Radio FM phone' is one such app which you can try out.
 
yes, Radio FM phone is a good one. can you suggest any others.

in the menu in the built in fm radio app, it list 'North amierica, world, japan' . any similar ad free app that does not use data ?

is it possible to extract the app from the phone ?

I still have the MS FM radio app on my phone (10586.318),so I have not tried any other FM radio app .I think it would be better if you search in Store and check out the apps available there.I am sure there are a few more there in Store which would suit your requirements.

Built in fm radio app is removed from latest insider builds.

I tried many different ones from the store. All of them have ads except this 'radio FM phone'.

Is there a copy of OEM app of this built in app available or possible to extract from 10586.318 ?

I am not on Insider and so I still have the FM radio.I don't think it is possible to extract the app as you say.Even if there is a way to do so ,I do not know it.
In future when Redstone is released officially for all Windows 10 phones,I will use Radio FM phone or any other newer app if it is better.
You can post your problem as a separate thread under Windows 10 mobile for further suggestions from others on the forum.
