I would like to use same design in my app as has default rating/review page in Windows Phone 8 - (Page which appears when user wants to review an app). Where can I get the screen shot of this page? Or is there aviable original template for this page?
You can take the screenshot on your phone and copy it to your computer. There is no template for that page that is publicly available, why would you need it?
If you want to enable rating your app from the phone itself, use MarketplaceReviewTask.
If you want to reuse the star rating control, you can get it from the Windows Phone Toolkit: see RatingControl.

I'm a newbie about windows phone, this is my first project, a app calculate calories when running in wp8.1 RT, but I have a problem, basically I have 3 pages, mainpage is page 1, how must I do whenever I click a button in page 1 (start running), a stopwatch in page 3 starts counting and start receiving data gps of Map in page 2 (distance,speed) automatically, ie I'm still in page 1, the other pages run in background if i don't navigate to them ? ( I implemented stopwatch and map in project), forgive me because I'm not good at English.
In a Windows Phone App (does not matter if is silverlight or RT) you just can run a page at time.
Instead use several pages, you can use Background task or Geofencing.
I hope it helps you.
What are some ways to show either notificationn count or the existence of new unread messages in Windows Phone.
Like in iOS we use the badge icon.
In Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 you can add Badges to your live tiles:
A notification badge conveys summary or status information specific to your app. They can be numeric (1-99) or one of a set of system-provided glyphs. Examples of information best conveyed through a badge include network connection status in an online game, user status in a messaging app, number of unread mails in a mail app, and number of new posts in a social media app. Badges can be displayed on all tile sizes. On Windows, they appear in the lower-right corner of the tile (lower-left corner on a computer set to a right-to-left (RTL) language). On Windows Phone 8.1, they appear in the upper-right corner of the tile (upper-left corner on a computer set to a right-to-left (RTL) language).

I want to build a cell phone app (app#1) in Windows Phone who GETs TEXT from another app (app#2).
I can not control app#2.
The idea is to get text (plain text from app#2's window content) programmatically from apps like Whatsapp, email apps or a browser.
Is this a doable app? Can this be done?.
Thank you for your help.
Not possible.
You cannot access any data/content from another app unless that data has been specifically shared to your app by the user (e.g. from using the built-in share functionality in the OS).
I have a windows 8 app, in which i show the list of students as tiles. When a tile is tapped on, the app bar opens which give the option to edit. My question is; when the tile is tapped, is it fine to go to the Edit window rather than opening the app bar. Does windows 8 app guidelines allow this.
I have gone through the windows 8 guidelines but it has left me confused if its the right way or not.
Thanks in advance.
I think the best way to do this must be that on click of the tile you should open the edit window. And the appbar must have only add button, so that in case the user wants to add a student he can do so through the app bar. I feel this is the correct user experience.
I have this requirement where i have to show a menu when users slide their finger down the screen. Just like viewing notifications in android and iOS.
If not the same thing may be any alternatives that i can use.
I'm new to windows phone development.
Please help.
While it can be done on your own, it's a pain to do well, and Telerik has already done this - check out their Data Bound ListBox control - http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone/overview/all-controls/databoundlistbox.aspx
