Support custom themes with Skinery Tiles Pro
Many users have asked for more customization for the look and feel of the start screen. Skinery Tiles Pro now supports custom themes for live tile apps with notifications and users have asked for stock apps such as Phone, People, Office, Settings, Messaging, Xbox, Calendar, Mail and Store to be included in Skinery.
Skinery knows it is ridiculous and far-fetching to ask Microsoft to work with an indie developer. So even if Microsoft is not interested to link up to Skinery directly, can Microsoft allow stock apps to be launched using uri scheme?
Skinery's dream is to help Windows Phone…

Windows Phone's background can be replaced with a picture
If used only black and white, can now be replaced with an image at will. Can be arranged in a way to settings > theme > change background > choose a picture
Example :

Support for full Bluetooth profiles - including accessories, keyboards, low energy
Windows Phone loses usability, market visibility and relevance, and falls behind competing products by not supporting the HID Bluetooth profile (and others) for actions such as hooking up Bluetooth accessories including game controllers, keyboards, and low energy accessories e.g. sport (Pebble). Full compatibility between WP8 and the massive Bluetooth ecosystem is important to

Gives Windows Phone users a tool to clean up their phone
There are several problems due to the lack of file browser, or any cleaning tool for WP8.
I mean, for example, the "Other" section, visible in the storage settings, which doesn't stop growing, even if we uninstall apps.
It could be great if we could see what does it contains exactly, and delete some useless things (apps cache etc.)Otherwise, a simple file browser could be interesting aswell.

Publish Bing apps (news, finance, sports ...) on WP
Microsoft repeats that the porting of apps between W8 and WP8 is easy but they don't port their W8 apps on WP8 : Bing News - Finance - Sports, Weather ...).
We want these apps on Windows Phone !! :)

Continue to develop and fund new Xbox games for Windows Phone
Lately there have been very few new Xbox games released for Windows Phone. Please begin development on new Xbox games, including major franchises like Halo and Forza! Also, reach out to third-party developers and convince them to bring more games to Windows Phone by any means necessary.
Xbox Live features have been a major selling point of Windows Phone since 2010, and we gamers want to see those features continue - especially with new, higher-quality games.

IE 10 Improvements
Examples of the missing functionality:
- Password support for the IE10
- Forward button for the IE10
- Text reflow for the IE10 so it automatically adjusts and reformats text for easy readability
- Ability to have at least two browser control buttons14,768 votes

Please note that several of the suggestions in the original post (ringer volume, orientation lock, etc.) have already been suggested elsewhere and are actively being voted on, so this idea has been consolidated to focus on IE 10 improvements.
To work optimally suggestions should be for a single idea or feature, so if you would like, please reallocate your votes to other suggestions that you feel are most important to you.

MLB At Bat 13
C'mon Microsoft. Apple has it. Android has it. AND NOW Blackberry has it? Blackberry? Are you kidding me? (SMH) Let's stay competitive and support the great American pastime. Fans will even pay a few $$$ per download as they do with the Droid and iPhone. Check the WP8 forums. This is a commonly requested app.
