Empty Tile title in a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app with WMS

How do use set an empty title for a tile in a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app with WMS?

Without WMS, I could just set the DisplayName to empty string in WMAppManifest.xml and it worked. With WMS, I can no longer set DisplayName to an empty string in Package.appxmanifest so the app title is always shown on the medium tile and I do not want to shown there.

In fact it's not the same. By default you'll have the app title displayed. But when you update the tile with TileUpdateManager you can remove the title. Check the "branding" attribute set to "none"

var tileXml = TileUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent(TileTemplateType.TileWidePeekImageAndText01);                
var tileImageAttributes = tileXml.GetElementsByTagName("image");
((XmlElement)tileImageAttributes[0]).SetAttribute("src", "ms-appdata:///local" + wideBackGroundUri.LocalPath);
var brandingAttribute = tileXml.GetElementsByTagName("binding");
((XmlElement)brandingAttribute[0]).SetAttribute("branding", "none");
tileXml.SelectSingleNode("//text[@id=1]").InnerText = wideBackContent;
TileNotification tileNotification = new TileNotification(tileXml);
TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication().Update(tileNotification);

Just before the new TileNotification you can add the following code.

  var squareTileXml = TileUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent(TileTemplateType.TileSquarePeekImageAndText04);
            var squareTileXmlAttributes = squareTileXml.GetElementsByTagName("image");
            ((XmlElement)squareTileXmlAttributes[0]).SetAttribute("src", "ms-appdata:///local" + backGroundUri.LocalPath);

            var brandingSquareAttribute = squareTileXml.GetElementsByTagName("binding");
            ((XmlElement)brandingSquareAttribute[0]).SetAttribute("branding", "none");

            squareTileXml.SelectSingleNode("//text[@id=1]").InnerText = backContent;

            IXmlNode node = tileXml.ImportNode(squareTileXml.GetElementsByTagName("binding").Item(0), true);
            tileXml.GetElementsByTagName("visual").Item(0).AppendChild(node);
