[Q] Changing the App name

[lamborg]

I have completed making a very simple app but now saw that the same name is there on the marketplace. Can anyone tell me, how do I change the app name?
I made the app using appmakr, I know I can simply change it from there but that's too simple. It doesn't get me to learn anything at all.

The app name is in the WMAppManifest.xml file. There are a few elements called "Title" that should be changes (I think one is for the app list, one for the pinned tile; I forget which is which so change them both). This file is located in the root of the XAP. XAP files are just renamed ZIP files; you can use any archiving tool (including Windows Explorer if you rename the file, though I prefer to use 7-Zip) to open it up and edit the contents.

After I make the changes and put back in the xap and then deploy, it says invalid xap.
Any idea?
Thanks for your explaination.
