How to setup a Windows Phone App without a tile title

Question

How can I set no title to my app, like the Facebook app, since my app also have its name displayed in the logo ? I tried in the app properties in Visual Studio but it displays an error saying that the title should not be empty.

To clarify : I want the app tile not to display the app title.

Answer 1

Open the WMManifest.xml in the Properties folder.

Find this:

<Tokens>
  <PrimaryToken TokenID="AppToken" TaskName="_default">
    <TemplateType5>
      <BackgroundImageURI IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">Background.png</BackgroundImageURI>
      <Count>0</Count>
      <Title>YOUR APP TITLE HERE</Title>
    </TemplateType5>
  </PrimaryToken>
</Tokens>

And change the Title element to

<Title></Title>

Done. No more title displayed on the tile when pinning your app.
