How to make your own custom based tile app - not pined to startscreen in windows phone 8

Question

Hey I am looking to make a windows 8 phone app that has a tile look and feel. I am not interested in making it pined to the start screen. I want an app that has it's own functionality in the tiles. Does anyone know how to make that layout - could someone point me in the right direction?

microsoft.phone.controls.toolkit dll supports a control named hubtile.

"The latest version of Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit provides Windows Phone HubTile control. This control can make your application stylish by adding animated tiles in it. HubTile can consist of an image, title, message or a notification. In this example we will represent HubTile in two different ways, Static HubTile and Dynamic HubTile".
