My App has a page contain some tiles layout in a canvas.
Now there is some new needs:

Can you please share with me that if there is any existing control(Library) to achieve the above functionality or otherwise give me a Road Map how to achieve this functionality?

Telerik has got a Control Library for Windows Phone that contains a control called HubTile. Have a look here to see if the control satisfies your needs.

Page Transition Style Like Flipboard on Windows Phone 8

I'm searching how to create the flip effect on a wp8 application like the Flipboard style : www.flipboard.com.
could you help me how to proceed to create this effect?
Thanks.
I would recomment using Telerik's SlideView control. You can set a Flip transition. You can download the Telerik sample application and try it out. The phone controls are only $99. Even better is to use Nokia Developer Offers. You get Telerik's phone controls, as well as Infragistics controls, a DevCenter account and BugSense tracking for $99. I know it's not free, but how much is your time worth creating all the controls you get from this?
NOTE: I am not affiliated with any of the above companies.
Look here: How to Perform a Card Flip Animation
I have told how to make FlipAnimation, un projections menu there are also other effects that affect XYZ axes - your effect is quite simple.
But if you wan't a whole page transition then i think you should NOT use pages, but use different Views on one page.

Moving picture effect on tile

I would like to create a tile (not necessary a hub tile, it may be a grid box) for my application. On that tile I want to display a picture and give it a moving effect like the pictures hub. How can I achieve this? Please guide me
In Windows Phone 7.5, you can't. Perhaps in 7.8? or 8? But not in anything we have currently.

Basic layout of appcelerator app

I creating my first appcelerator app and looking for some info on whether something is possible, and if so is it easy to implement.
I'm using Titanium SDK 2.0.1.
I'm trying to create a layout similar to the Stream window in the Google+ app for Android:
1: A large header (Can the navbar property of Ti.UI.createWindow be adjusted?)
2: Two tabs under the header (Would like to be able to adjust height of them if possible? Are there alternatives to Ti.UI.createTabGroup if this is not possible?)
The main content I can figure out easily enough I reckon.
Any examples or links on how to achieve this layout would be great.
Thanks
There is no way to do that type of NavBar in Android using the native Ti.UI.Window properties, but you can just create your own NavBar using a view and stick to the top of the window. For the tabs, I'd look at http://www.tomaspersson.com/2012/03/20/titanium-viewpager-module-now-available/ - I'm not sure it will have all the options you need, but it is a good starting point. Good luck!

Building a WP7 app with tiles using standard controls

I would like to build an app with an interface with touch-enabled tiles similar to WP7 home screen tiles with a background color and different textblocks. Do you know how can I do it using standard controls? Are there already made user controls that can be used for this?
Creating something like the home/start screen could be confusing to users. (You wouldn't create a PC app which looks like a desktop.) Creating something like the hub experiences may be more appropriate.
Have a look at the HubTile in the toolkit. It was created for just this scenario.

How to make or use a standard Image Viewer for WP7

I want to make an app that shows pictures. But I want to be able to zoom in and out with gestures. I fixed this by including a toolkit into my project. But my actual question is, can I use or is there a control that's already created for me to show pictures like the picture library of the WP7 phone itself. I thought there wasn't but the Facebook app has a similar way of showing the pictures. Did Facebook rewrite the whole thing or is there a control somewhere that someone made?
The SlideView control in Telerik's RadControls for Windows Phone sounds like what you're looking for.
Have you tried a MultiScaleImage control? It's designed to work with multiple layers, but if you only specify one layer, it might suit what you're trying to do.
