How can I remove live tile title in a Windows Phone 8.1 application?

I'm building a wide live tile using TileWide310x150Image template in a BackgroundTask, which should show only a wide image, no text or else.

This is the template I'm using:

<tile>
 <visual>
  <binding template="TileWideImage">
   <image id="1" src="image1.png" />
  </binding>  
 </visual>
</tile>

However, application's name is still there and I can't find anything to remove it in the Manifest as it was possible on Windows Phone 7 and 8.

Is there any way to remove it?

  • In the tile notification XML, specify "none" as the value for the branding attribute. Using this attribute, one can specify whether the tile shows the app logo, the name, or nothing.
