When downloading an app from play store, it provides a list of permissions the app is using. My question is, is there a way to list all apps installed group by permission type? Like all apps that has access to my contact list?
There are programs like Advanced Permissions in the app store you can review and change permissions of installed programs.

This version includes features such as Facebook chat, allows you to tag friends in statuses, and home screen in landscape.
Please read directions as I am not responsible for anything the happens to your A7
Requirements:
Uninstaller for Root(Found in Market)
Root Explorer(Found in Market) or a Alternate File Explore App
Facebook 1.6.3 (Found here: www.apktop.com/facebook-for-android-1-6-3.html )
Open Uninstaller for Root, scroll down to the Facebook App and then click backup App, after click Uninstall
Next open Root Explore and navigate to /sdcard, once in /sdcard navigate to download folder will you will find and copy the file: com.facebook.katana.apk
Once copied you will need to paste apk file in /system/app (may need to toggle MOUNT R/O), after apk has been pasted, click on apk to install and you are all finished
facebook should be installable as a normal application. while the root related instructions are necessary for removal, i would just suggest tapping on the new facebook apk in the file manager to install ( w unknown sources enabled in settings/apps).
your facebook will be updatable via market after install that way, w out need for system app removal in the future.

Thanks,I just did it your way but the only thing i don't understand is how is it updatable if it doesn't appear in "My Apps" in the market?
mmm, manually installed apps might not show up in the old patched market, but i think they do in the new market (havent patched or ported that for a7 yet). i know i see manually added apps on my x10.
if you were to look up the facebook app in market, you may see it listed as updatable still, tho it may not show in your downloaded apps.
if youre not seeing facebook or the other apps youre posting in market at all (search), then youre not using my patched market.

Ok gotcha, I'm using Dexter 1.42 mod that might be why
They show up in the app drawer, any way to remove them?
Try with Titanium backup you can uninstall system apps with it.
Well, I went through /system/app and deleted a load of APKs (so now just have 1 page of apps in the app drawer, and then another 2 which I want to get rid of)
I can't find the APKs for these though

Thats a link to a rom cleaning script which lists many apps and the name of the .apk for that app,you may find what you need to know there.Just watch what you are deleting as could cause system problems

If the script doesn't work, you can use the package manager commands through terminal (or adb shell) to determine apk location.
Use root un installer pro

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.
Some Apps need lots of permission, but indeed a few permission can work well. And it make me uncomfortable to apply so many permissions.
Is there any App to do something to disable or remove the un-needed permission? (my KF not rooted)

Possibly the android tuner xposed module. It lets you selectively set auto rotation.
