>>The only thing I still can't understand is the fact that, after calibration, when using a non color managed app to view a picture I can drag that picture from one display to the other and the colors look almost identical but if using a color managed app like Photoshop or Lightroom when doing this there's a color flip and the colors suddenly look different.

The flash that occurs is the profile being changed. Apps which don't correct for the display don't cause that flash. The result of that SHOULD be increased consistency between displays. For instance, I have a wide gamut Eizo and a standard gamut Cinema Display side by side. In a non-color managed app, images look significantly different on the two. In a color managed app, colors that both displays can reach look much more similar. Doesn't fix those colors the Cinema Display can't reach, however.
