Is there an app or some way to disable individual permissions per app? I want to not allow certain apps access to WiFi/data without turning them off.

A firewall app for rooted phones should prevent some apps from accessing the network Google play has a lot, but you will need to be rooted.

On tasker I tried to set a profile so my data would turn on when i would open certain apps like weather and internet but it doesn't work

I'm not familiar with tasker, but I know with data intensive apps they usually give you option such as how the app updates itself. Options such as manual, or update every 1... 2... 4... or 6 hours. Why don't see if they offer you those settings?
Sorry if I'm not much help.

I shut all my apps to update only when I want them to yet I see my phone gathering data all the time

It could be because it is backing up stuff for your Google account.

Try Juice Defender Ultimate. It's paid but it would do what you're looking for; you can have data off and then configure apps that are allowed to use data.

Is there any way I can see this without looking in the settings for each app in the market?

I'm using titanium backup for that purpose
It's there a way to let Google Now work without having to give them permission to track your location?
I'm one of those paranoid types who hate being tracked for no assistant reason.

It actually relies heavily on knowing your location in order to provide relivent information and responses.

When you search for stuff around you, how's it supposed to know where you are?

Well I guess you'd miss out on a lot of the features but you'd still get voice searching and those things, but would this work?
Go into system settings and find Location Services, uncheck those boxes they're used to pinpoint your location (Google location service, GPS Satellites, Location and Google Search). Try that or maybe two of the three. Never tried it myself so dunno how it would work
Nope, it says I have to enable it to continue using google now

I wish I could disable mine. I'm tired of bumping the search and it coming up.
I used titanium backup to freeze mine.
Wish I could reassign the button though

Hi all
Is it possible to control what information apps can access. For example can I block certain apps getting my location information via GPS or other ways. But still be able to use the app.
Thanks
Xiao

Is there a way to make the gmail app (or another app) that you can set the push to every 30-60 minutes? I feel the Google gmail app that is constantly connected to the server wastes both battery and data. Any ideas/solutions?
