The flip tile has been changed in Windows Phone 8.1 runtime apps. In WP8 app, it is of two parts, one front and one back. but in WP8.1 RT app, this is not the same as the old flip tile since the front is only an image with no text and back is just text with no image, see The tile template catalog (Windows Runtime apps)

In WP8.1, how to create Flip or Cyclic tile? The answer is to call TileUpdater.EnableNotificationQueue with true and add tiles in a series. With this approach you can combine any of tiles and make your own flip or cyclic tile.
