Working on cube mod lol and i can code a bit
Soooooo
I made a mod and I wanted to update it with new sprites by editing the og ones but all of my sprites are gone due to me deleting them.
So is there a way to extract a wad file to get all my sprites back

Thanks in advance

just open it in slade, right click on the sprite, go to graphics and click export as png.

Ummm just tried that but cuz I'm on android I can't extract it as slade c4ashes all the time.
Any other software or tool available

They’re trying to do this on Android for a reason.
If it was as simple as getting a PC, he likely wouldn’t be asking this question.

the issue is that there’s no way to do it if slade doesn’t work, other than maybe having someone else with a PC open it and then extract and send the files
 
For WAD files I'm afraid you're out of luck. I do know XWE is another tool that can manipulate WADs but I'm neither familiar with or know if it has an android port.
Your best bet is probably asking for a friend with computer access to extract them for you and send the files back.

Going into the future I'd personally advise you to save your addons as PK3s rather than WADs as the former are essentially ZIP files with a different extension and can be open using anything that can open compressed archives (i.e 7zip, winrar, etc).
 
You can extract files from wad file with Termux and WadExt:
  1. Install Termux from Google Play Store or F-Droid,
  2. Allow access to phone's files in "Settings > Apps > Termux > Permissions",
  3. Open Termux,
  4. Enter to upgrade packages and install p7zip: pkg update && pkg upgrade -y && pkg install -y p7zip,
  5. Go to path "/sdcard/Download" assuming wad file is located in Download folder: cd /sdcard/Download,
  6. Enter to download WadExt: curl -LO $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/ZDoom/wadext/releases | gawk -F'"' '/browser_download_url.*wadext_linux_arm64/ {print $4}'),
  7. Extract WadExt: 7z x wadext_linux_arm64*.zip,
  8. Enter wadext command to extract content from wad file ./wadext example.wad.
