May be you need Elements.xml also :

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<!-- Do not change the value of the Name attribute below. If it does not match the folder name of the List Definition project item, an error will occur when the project is run. -->
 <ListTemplate

  Type="100"

  OnQuickLaunch="TRUE"
  SecurityBits="11"
  DisplayName="PrCenter - Statistics"
  Description="List created for Statistics Logs">    
 </ListTemplate>

It seems that you are using wrong identifiers for the three fields Title, LinkTitle and LinkTitleNoMenu. The correct ones should be:

  • Title --- fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247
  • LinkTitleNoMenu --- bc91a437-52e7-49e1-8c4e-4698904b2b6d
  • LinkTitle --- 82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31

I have tried to search for the guid you are using instead, but google brings up no results (only this question). Can you try and use the correct ids and see if this fix your problem?

PS: when in dubt about the identifier for a buil-in field, you can refer to Frodes list of SharePoint column field ids - it should contain the info for any field you may need. If you are working in codebehind you may also use the SPBuiltInFieldId class.

EDIT: Still not working... As far as I know, it should work if you rename the three field Title, LinkTitleNoMenu, LinkTitle (see those link: first, second,third, fourth - renaming only the title column is the most common problem). Assuming that there aren't any other error that I haven't noticed, I am starting to belive that there is something in your caml definition that is making SharePoint ignore same of the declaration (also known as "If you set the inherith parameter in a doc set content type definition, I will ignore all the declaration"...). I know this isn't much, but I suggest that you try to remove all "useless" part from the declaration and see if this change anything. For example, try to leave only the id and display name in the declaration. Also, check if there is any messed up character in the declaration - sometimes if you copy&paste the code from somewhere else a non-printable char may end up in the caml, and SharePoint doesn't like them (I know, discovered first person some time ago...).

I will see if I find some time to test your declaration.

I've updated id's , but still "Title"... I've placed these fields in <FieldRefs> and in <Fields> too, but result is the same "Title"... – Lena Oct 25 '12 at 8:42

fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247 Title, bc91a437-52e7-49e1-8c4e-4698904b2b6d LinkTitleNoMenu, 82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31 LinkTitle ..... Did you mix-up LinkTitleNoMenu and LinkTitle ID's? – Lena Oct 25 '12 at 8:51
Yes, they were inverted - usual copy/paste error we all love and fear. Now it is corrected, thanks for the notice. – SPArchaeologist Oct 25 '12 at 9:19
So)) anyway "Title" is still "Title" any other ideas? – Lena Oct 25 '12 at 9:22
Yes, give me some more time - i'm doubleckeching some other source. In the meantime, if you have access to the tool SharePoint Manager you could rename the field in the ui and then compare the list caml definition reported from the tool with the one you wrote. – SPArchaeologist Oct 25 '12 at 9:45

changes apply on any other fields except this Primary key !!! field because it is a reference.

But before create this list, it is possible by change with new content type that you should create new one in your site application

then correct GUID's for 

Title --- fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247
LinkTitle --- bc91a437-52e7-49e1-8c4e-4698904b2b6d
LinkTitleNoMenu --- 82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31

But why can I cahnge it later in design mode and no restrictions appear then? Do you mean that I can rename it only after creation? – Lena Oct 25 '12 at 6:51
Maybe it's because in Lists , this field , function as edit as link to as view as ... in the view . – saber tabatabaee yazdi Oct 25 '12 at 6:56

Ps: if you took the field id from the old version of my answer, you should fix them as for Lena comment. I had inverted two values when copying the ids. – SPArchaeologist Oct 25 '12 at 9:48

In the element, where Title is declared, keep the display name as Title then in the reference , that's where you'll specify your own text: ...
