I am generally concerned about privacy.
Along these lines...
Is there any tool, websibte, app, etc., that allows for filtering Google Play Store apps by either excluded or included permissions?
The option of filtering different app versions is a plus, as permissions may change across versions.
I found a few, limited alternatives.
What do you mean with Google Play apps? GMS? Google Play services? Google Play Store apps?

Those apps should be safe to remove... On the other hand when deleting system apps it's usually safer to freeze them (with like titanium backup) first before deleting them to make sure nothing goes wrong like loss of services or a security error. If after freezing them and everything is ok then delete them. I would also recommend backing up those apps with an app like titanium backup and making a nandroid backup also just in case.
Google Play services start constantly, is greenifying safe? I don't use the app auto-update feature, but account syncing (contacts) is important. I won't remove the wake-up path yet.
I also greenified Google Play Store.
I was unable to make in-app purchases (I had to degreenify), so some issues appear.

It's useless, there are many wakelocks attached to it, when you try to cut it, Google play force close
Hi guys,
i try to keep my phone free from google apps but due to requirements of some apps this is not 100% possible. some apps require at least google maps framework. one does not need to install gapps for that. instead you can just copy 2 files to your system (https://sdgsystems.com/blog/installing-google-maps-framework-aosp-android).
i was wondering, if there is a similar possibility to install google location services. again, this is a requirement of some apps like geohash droid. if there is none, i am willing to install google play services, but can anyone explain to me what this software/app does? does it connect to google / phone home / whatever? do i have to register an gmail account in order to activate it?
Thnx

I ordered a Vivo NEX and asked for Google Framework to be pre-installed. Is the Google App store included with Google Framework?

The Google Services Framework system app on your Android device stores information and helps your phone sync with Google servers — and keeps your Google Play Services up and running.
Google Mobile Services (GMS) is a collection of Google applications and APIs that help support functionality across devices. Samples are Gmail, Chrome, Google+, Google Maps, and Youtube. -Google Play Services(Google Service Framework) is used to make sure that everything is running smoothly on your device
Hi - just wondering, With Aurora store showing that cloned apps of the Google play store are possible, has anyone thought about creating a google photos compatible client app?
Not all apps can be cloned! Cloned apps may crash, show errors or work incorrectly. Cloning an app will change its certificate, which means the clone may not work in case the app validates the certificate or uses advanced copy-protection.
App features that depend on the app certificate like Google logins, Google Play Services, Google Play Games, Google Drive backup or in-app purchases WILL NOT WORK!

Those are fair points. By cloned I meant not copied, but developed in parallel - Aurora store is an example of this. It is a Google Play Store client that does not need GMS yet can still access google apps... surely something similar must be possible for Google Photos? There is a definite demand for it in the market
