I am wondering if it is possible to find what image was displayed to the user when they pressed the live tile to launch the application. I know how to tell what live tile was pressed, just not what image was displayed.
No, it's not. You should pin multiple tiles if you want a selective behaviour.

I want to design a page on windows phone 8.1 which should have 2 pages in a screen.
One page should always be visible.
Second page should come up when user tries to "hold and tries to swap to right on the left corner of the visible screen"
[The Second Page i'm planning to make it as a User control. so that i can put it on different pages as a hidden control and will show up when user tries hold and drag from left to right, action on a page just the way action center shows in phone]
It's same way how action center page comes up when user hold's and drag down the top corner of phone screen windows phone 8.1, but I'm trying to do the same but from the dragging should be from left side of the Screen.
I have tried experimenting with Manipulation methods could achieve the expected result.
Hope i have conveyed my question properly. :)
Please share your thought's.
Thanks.
Your question is not very clear, but is That what you are looking for ?
Application side menu (NavigationDrawer) ?
Checkout this project, see if it suit your need. You need some changes in source to make it work with Windows 8.1
In iOS, one doesn't need to add a close icon for an app. In the rare event that one wants to kill an app they can do it via the OS.
When looking at the cocos2d-x project that is created by default when using the console (v3.1.1), the sample HelloWorld scene places a button on screen to "close" the app.
Is this actually required in ANY platform ? Does it make sense to add this button at all ?
Apple usually rejects on this and Google and Microsoft don't like it.
You can, however, have close buttons on menus or popovers (say, like a pause screen).
I have developed wp8 app and looking for a control to slide. I am showing single verse in the page and I want the user to slide (forward and backward) to show next verse, verses may reach 286. I have seen this feature in many application in windows phone store, but I don't what wp8 control they are using.
appreciate your feedback!
Panorama is that you have one image in the background you move a little everytime you go to one side, it is what is used in the image app.
But since you need 286, you should not use the panorama control. Then you should rely on the pivot but beware of microsoft not wanting the users to be confused and caught inside 286 pages, so you need to give the user and overview and use a button that can return a person to the start page.
I build a tile image dynamically when the user presses the tile button in my application. But if the user clicks on pin to start from outside, how can I catch it and create a dynamic tile image? Is it possible or do I have to use a background agent?
There is no way to be notified that the user has pinned you to the Start screen until your code runs, either via Background Agent or regular App launch (at which point you simply query for your pinned tiles).
I am developing an app. A page showing full image and when you tap on the image, image caption and sound options appear from two opposite sides i.e caption from left and sound options from right with translate animations.
I want to be clear about that when I press back button, I can navigate to back page or I have to make those options disappear first and then again press back key to go to previous page from microsoft certification point of view?
I believe this is the same since windows phone 7.
You should be allowed to capture the back event and add some code. I don't think that is seen as bad practice, you just aren't allow to stop it.
Saying that, I don't think you can easily do a double back. you might have to check.
Here is a fairly useful post on the subject:
WP7: navigate twice back
which leads to another post about navigating the stack:
