I always annoyed by seeing all the existing apps in the play store that I no longer wanted. I found this modded Google Play give you that option to remove it from your "all" menu in the play store.
ROOT required - You can either do it manually replace the Phonesky.apk in the /system/app (unzip the file attached - and don't forget to change the permission rw-r-r--) or use flashable cwm zip.
here - Google Play v.3.9.16
Enjoy !!!
Edit: BTW- You might have to re-create PlayStore shortcut in the home launcher.
Great found

All you have to do is download gapps here: Google Apps or simply get the play store here: Google Play
Then all you have to do is open up a file explorer, navigate to /system, and open up the build.prop file. Next simply change ro.build.host to "vpak6.mtv.corp.google.com".
Reboot and the market should be working!

I have a few apps like facebook google plus and google maps which are by default installed in XperiaS.
I am rooted stock ics. 45 build.
Can I remove or delete the applications from system/app cause any problems?
And I want to install them from playstore if I need them.
So anyone tell me which.directory does the app we install from playstore are installed so that i.can move apps from sys/app in that folder..
Yes you can and yes, you can easily uninstall/move them.
Use root explorer to move the app/apk that you not want to move from System/app to your SD Card Folder.
Just make sure not to delete or move any system apk, that is required to run the OS.
More Specific instructions by Redstarr1 below- so follow it, u shud b fine.

So auni already told you you can remove apps like Facebook, G+ and Gmaps easily from /system/app. If you want the app back as a "normal" app, you can:
- copy those apps to /data/app, I'd go with one of the following options though
- copy those apps to your external storage and install them like you would any other app (so once you copied the app outside of /system, press it and a dialog will open)
- delete those apps and install them from Play Store.

There's other Google service (base files) need to be installed instead of only the Play Store or Gmail apk files for it to work. And the base file cannot be installed by normal way but .zip files through a custom recovery. You can get the base+App store from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ps-light-edition-google-apps-android-t2548351
After that you can just get the Gmail app from the Play store.

Already solved this issue, i forgot to install gaps-kk
Apparently this method does not work anymore
I have an another method too #wickdst0ne
Just create a folder named com.android.vending-1.apk, and put it on /data/app/ folder.
This also works for Google Play Services: com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk on the same /data/app folder.
If the apk isn't integrated in the system, these folders will make it back to factory version.
Sorry for my English guys :laugh:
