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…

Improve Sync App for Windows Phone
The PC Syncing app for WP on both Win7 and Win8 is terrible and a major step back from Zune. Bring all the features that were standard in Zune Application to the WP Sync App. Examples:
1) WiFi Sync
2) Podcast Sync on PC
3) Playlist Sync
4) Play Counts
5) Ratings
6) Auto-Playlists
7) Autofill
8) Zune Music Pass Songs
9) Combine Xbox Music Player, Store and Sync Apps2,148 votes -
Option to auto silent notifications at night
I think there should be an option in the settings to auto silent notifications at night if the phone would be with the screen facing down. This way you wouldn't have to silent your phone before you go to sleep, the e-mail or sms notifications wouldn't disturb you while sleeping and in case of an emergency you could still receive urgent phone calls.

Calendar Live-Title should display more events, also lockscreen
It should display more events not only one with time and other info. Lots of unused space there. Give live to live title, display more.

Phone to silent/vibrate mode when in a meeting
Add volume profiles such that when I am in a meeting (busy status) the phone automatically switches to vibrate (or silent) so that the phone doesn't disturb me.

Better podcast support
Podcast support is poor (at least for those of us outside the US).
1. You can't add a podcast subscription from your phone. This has to be done from the Zune client on PC. Perhaps opening an RSS feed in IE should surface an option to subscribe to it in Music+Videos.
2. You can't tell the phone to update your feeds and fetch new episodes. I'm not sure what logic it uses to determine when to download new episodes. But it's not predictable. If I want to listen to daily shown on my commute to work, this isn't possible, as…1,755 votes -
Add support for all popular streaming video and video file formats to match iPhone and Android
There are many video services such as TWiT and BBC iPlayer which require Http Streaming which prevent them supporting Windows Phone.

Set vibration intensity
Allow the user to define the vibration-intensity. On the Lumia 920 it is VERY strong and annoying when calls come in. However the one at startup is nice, so it should be possible to change it.

webOS style notification light
A few weeks ago I tweeted about the idea of a webOS style notification light for Windows Phone, I received a few tweets back from my followers saying that they like the idea, so I figured I would write up this post explaining the idea.
Inspiration
Everyone has been talking about the idea of Windows Phone having a notification centre, some like the idea, some hate it, I'm not here to voice my opinions on that, but if it does happen, then people will likely want a notification light to go with it. A standard red/green/blue/etc circle of light at…

Manage "Other storage" on internal storage, install apps and save files on SD cards
- Please let us manage the 'other storage' category on the internal storage - view it, move, and delete files. I've got an 820 with 8gb internal storage.... The "other storage" is filling up at an alarming rate.
- Please allow users to install apps and save files to external SD cards.1,656 votes -
