What is your favorite Live tile?

[adamjolin]

Mine is the Xbox music tile in double wide format...that thing just looks awesome when you are playing music. What do you guys think?

I agree. Xbox Music is amazing. I also like the Disqus tile for its beautiful simplicity.

Going to sound lame, but the Call of Duty Elite app live tile is wonderful. It's such a crisp looking tile and updates your activities almost instantaneously.

Facebook double wide looks awesome because it takes your cover photo and facebook and puts it there Only problem is it's facebook blue when it rotates and that's kindaa annoying but still cool nonetheless

I can only agree with the Xbox music tile, apart from that, I keep an analog clock from xda and the Amazing Weather Tile, both look awesome I think.

Is there a way to get access to that clock?

Is there a way to get access to that clock?

sure, it's from here and totally free: [App] Tile World Clock, Now Supports Wide Tile, more customizations available - xda-developers

But you'll need to developer unlock your device. If you're a student, you can do it for free via Dreamspark, otherwise you'll need to purchase it for 99$/year..

I made an account, and have it for free now, how do I develop unlock my device now?

Edit: wait a second, I just realized, does this mean I can develop apps for free?! :-o This is going to be so cool for my friend who I want to convince to make his game for windows phone. Damn damn damn!

as a student, yes you can create the account on https://www.dreamspark.com, but then you have to verify you're a student. Many schools offer a verified student email, then it's easy. when you live in a little town like me, you'll have to select other or manual or something like that. I just sent them a copy of my (school) student card (I don't know the word, in german it's Sch?lerausweis) and a copy of my ID card, and they verified me. It's really cool, you even get Visual Studio 2012 Professional for free!

wait, THIS is great!! this app here: TimeMe | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (भारत) looks pretty awesome (very much like the htc clock app), and on his website (arnoldvink.com) he has a xap for unlcoked devices that updates every minute!!

Xbox Music is nice as long as songs are played

Chronos Almanacka is the best thing since egg and ham. That duble Live Tile is a life saver. So much info in 1 block of love.
I like all live till with detailed info, WP Central, Favorite contact tile.

 

[th0mas96]

here it is, and the custom one updates correctly. looks totally awesome!

My favourite is the Flickr Contacts one on the official Flickr app. It would be the double wide Amazing Weather HD one with the 5 day forecast, but there's no way to have it single-sided

My least favourite is any coloured tile that doesn't conform to the theme colour. Music + Video, I'm looking at you. Grrr.

Group tiles, was a revelation when I found out I can pin them too ^_^
