Winrt GridView Virtualization

I've been having multiple problems trying to show GridViewItems in a GridView in different layouts. Basically EVERYTHING kills virtualization. If we use a VariableSizedWrapGrid virutalizaiton is gone, if we use the built in grouping functionality virtualizaiton is also gone. So far the only solution:

Only Solution

But that doesn't really cut it because it changes the design so much. As I said, the basic problem is that pretty much any small layout change you make on the GridView breaks virtualization. Has anyone found a good way to avoid this problem when changing a GridView or has everybody just had to stick with how the GridView looks by default?

Oh, another thing. Unfortunately WinRT doesn't allow us to create our custom virutalized panel because the VirtualizingStackPanel constructor is protected (or private, can't remember correctly). If you can give some information about this that would be great too =).

Thanks!

anytime you change the panel to a VariableSizedWrapGrid, or you use Grouping on your gridview, the virutalization it's gone. I posted in Uservoice about that, in order to support virtualization with the VariableSizedWrapGrid
