How can I access the /android_asset/ folder on my phone?

or in other words:

  1. Where is it?
  2. Can I access it without root access?

I've been searching in ASTRO file manager but I can't find it. What is the full path?

Where is it?

It is inside an APK file for some application.

Can I access it without root access?

You can download the APK to your desktop and unZIP it.

Dolphin HD...points to file:///android_asset/new_tab.htm

Since Dolphin HD is not open source (AFAIK), you have no way of changing this behavior. You also cannot modify this file unless you sign the resulting modified APK file with your own digital signature, in which case you would never again be able to get an update to Dolphin HD.

You may wish to contact the Dolphin HD developers and suggest a feature that meets your needs.
