It's saved (cached) in your local storage. On Android, use a file browser (for example: ES File Eplorer File Manager) and browse to:
SD card -> Android -> data -> jp.naver.line.android -> storage -> p​
Those files are the cached contact pictures. ES should be able to open them as images. Otherwise, you can also copy them and adding .jpg extension, any image viewer should be able to open them at that point.

[Q] How to make Archos Gallery not display .hidden items?

On my other Android devices I can simply put a . in front of folders that I don't want the gallery to display (such as avatar pics and shortcut icons and what not) and it wouldn't. Then I could use eStrongs file manager or similar to browse to them when I needed them. I popped a 2GB MicroSD card I had laying around that already had some files on it from another Android device and ALL of the folders with images are showing up in the gallery... even those with a . in front of them.
Is there any way on an Archos 101 to set the Gallery to NOT display items inside of a '.' folder? Seems this is default with other Android devices so I'm hoping it's at least an option on these.
Ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Create a 0kb file called .nomedia. Place it in the folder of items you don't want shown. That should work.

Doesn't appear to work. I searched before posting this and found a few things about .nomedia and thought maybe you had to rename the actual folders w/the images within to .nomedia to hide them? Seems like this would be a PITA way to go about it.
Am I doing something wrong? Any other ideas?

It should work just fine. Did you name the file specifically .nomedia? No ext name. Did you reboot to see if that helps? Did you put the file in the folder of the items you don't want showing?
Here is some more specific instructions (I didn't write them):
1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)
4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.

Alright, w/more information I tried it again. I created a file just using a file browser on the device. This time around I created a file in Notepad on my PC called .nomedia and made sure the filetype was set to 'all files' before saving and that there was no extension (deleted the .txt) and then copied that file to my Archos 101. I first tried in the folder on the SD card that contained all the folders in question. I rebooted and it didn't seem to help. I then copied the file into each folder and rebooted. Still no dice. Whenever I open Gallery all the folders and images are still there. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear a cache or something or delete any tumbnails or ?? I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I keep searching and am coming up with nothing. This was SO easier on my other Android devices as I just put a period in front of the name of the folders I didn't want to display and it was done. Simple as that. This is a royal PITA and I feel I'm not making any progress.
In the market search Studiokum or .nomedia. whit this app is easy control. Nomedia files

Do either of these allow you to simply hide w/o signing in or encryption? I found two other programs & both required this which I don't want to deal with. Just seems odd that others are saying this is working for them & I'm not having any luck. I don't mind installing an app as long as it works but I'm not sure why my Archos 101 would be different than the rest.

[Q] Desktop favorites folder on Galaxy Note

Hi! Can somebody please tell if it is possible to create a folder on the desktop of Galaxy Note where I could put my favorite files of different types - mp3s, docs, videos etc?
It is very simple to create a new desktop folder but I have no idea how to fill it with the files I want
Also, is it possible to create a desktop shortcut to a data folder (with music etc)? Thank you very much in advance for help.
The only way to fill a folder with files is:
Make a folder in your SD card with the files you want
Download Astro file manager
Long tap on home screen
Choose 'add shortcut'
Find astro shortcut
Choose the folder
So you have a shortcut of your folder, but you'll open it with astro....
Hope I helped you

I don't know. Try open it when you browse your files with a file manager.

Try : "file:///localhost/mnt/extSdcard/Myfolder/myfile.html" with three "/" after "file:".
On my laptop (running Archlinux and Chromium), to open file I have try "file:///localhost/home/*myuseraccount*/*myfilename*.txt" and it works.

Here's a link which worked for me on my Nexus 4:
file://localhost//storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/MyFile.ex
\___________________________________/\___________________/
..............................↓................................................↓...............
................Path of the sd-card.........................Your path........
For example:
file://localhost//storage/emulated/0/Download/picture.jpg
I tried to open the sd-card and it denied the access, but I could open the downloads folder. I don't know exactly why but it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the link is workin

Using ES File Explorer on my XPERIA Z1, choosing Open As > Other > Chrome Beta, I get the following URL:

As long as the file is on the internal storage, and not on an SD card, the page will open.
Otherwise i get a page stating "Access to the file was denied. ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Having the file on the internal storage (i.e. the phone / device) and not an external storage (SD card) worked for me also.
FOR OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES:
Generally Android browsers do not allow viewing of files on the external media card (SD card) for security reasons (e.g.. a malicious website could read/write to your SD card). Directory browsing is also prohibited. So if you try to load a page it may give the option to open the file using its HTML viewer - which isn't as fully functional as a browser (and no good for simple web page design testing).
Placing the file on the device's internal storage (e.g. in Download folder) and opening the URL link in the browser (e.g. file:///sdcard/Download/file.html †) will open the HTML file in the browser normally.
†Despite "sdcard" being in the name, "file:///sdcard/Download/file.html" is actually a path to the internal device storage. (The device's internal storage is an emulated SD card for technical reasons). An external SD card path is usually "extSDcard" or similar - but the browser will not load it due to the security restrictions mentioned.

solid explorer

is there any way to save my cloud accounts so i wont have to log in
each time?
tnx
I originally had that problem also. If you go to "jump to", then "network", then choose your storage. It will open your storage folder without having to log in.

[WhatsApp] Where are the profile images stored?

Root or no root ... Where ?
I found that there is a sub-folder named with 'WhatsApp Profile Photos' in 'Internal Storage - WhatsApp - Media'.
Yes. That is obvious and has no mystery. But there they are not.
/data/data/com.whatsapp/cache/Profile Pictures/ (Root)
it should be in data inside android folder
