I need to develop a similar grid to the one for searching phone numbers. See sample picture below.
Any ideas?
You can use the LongListSelector from the [Silverlight Toolkit for WP7] to achieve a similar UI. There's a great couple of posts on WindowsPhoneGeek.com that cover it in detail.

I don't know what is the real name of what I want to do, but I would like to make a list similar as this website link (Standard Select part at the top), does anyone can help me? I know it's something easy but I can't find what I want to do it for Xamarin. Maybe I don't search in the right direction, I assume it too!
There's no 1-1 implementation of a dropdown control in Xamarin.Forms but you'll get very close by using the Picker control.
Please notice that the default Picker control doesn't support binding so you might want to look for an extended version with that support.
There is no such thing built in Xamarin.Forms. You can choose one of the controls described in documentation.
To implement what you are looking for you will have to use Custom Renderer with control like this from Android. Of course for iOS you will have to use something different because there is no such control on iOS platform, but you can use this.
Have you looked at the Syncfusion AutoComplete control?
I think this is the closest you will get to what you are looking for.
They also provide a free community licence for developers
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.
What control is used to implement the application screenshot preview in the windows phone marketplace. The control allows zooming , panning and scrolling of images.
This control is also used when scrolling through pictures in the "Pictures" application.
Take a look at this blog post. In it Morten talks about how to achieve what you are looking for. I've used this in one of my own apps and it works great

Main menu in WP7 and audio player have the implementation. But how can i do it in my app?
I guess you are asking about the JumpList and not ListBox. Take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/166297/Developing-a-Windows-Phone-7-Jump-List-Control and see if that solves your question. Also take a look at the following Codeplex project: http://bewisephonecontrols.codeplex.com/, both have implementations of the jumplist.
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.
