WP 8.1 - Custom checkbox in ListView

Question

I don't know how I can customize the checkboxes in my multiselect listview in windows phone.

I want to change the box and the selected image to my own one (two images, one for the box, one for the check)

Here the code of the ListView

<ListView x:Name="ListFriendView" 
                  SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedFriend,Mode=TwoWay}"
                  ItemsSource="{Binding Friends}" SelectionMode="Multiple" Style="{StaticResource FriendPickerList}">
            <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="0.05*"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="0.1*"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="0*"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="0.4*"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="0.3*"/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" >
                            <Ellipse Width="30" Height="30" StrokeThickness="3"  VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
                                <Ellipse.Stroke>
                                    <ImageBrush ImageSource="ms-appx:///Assets/holder-avatar.png"/>
                                </Ellipse.Stroke>
                                <Ellipse.Fill>
                                    <ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding ProfilePicture,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                                </Ellipse.Fill>
                            </Ellipse>
                        </StackPanel>
                        <StackPanel  Grid.Column="3" Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center"  >
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding FName}" Style="{StaticResource CarterOne}" Margin="0 0 5 0"/>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding LName}" Style="{StaticResource CarterOne}"/>
                        </StackPanel>
                        <StackPanel Grid.Column="4" VerticalAlignment="Center"  >
                            <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource CarterOne}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
                                 <Run Text="{Binding Points}"/>
                                 <Run Text="  pts"/>
                            </TextBlock>

                        </StackPanel>

                    </Grid>

                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
                <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
                    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,1"/>
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="White"/>
                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
                </Style>
            </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        </ListView>

I'm trying to do it with blend, but I only see the itemPresenter...

If somebody already do this kind of things...

Thanks.
