Pdroid is fantastic. I waste time patching my ROM every time I need to upgrade with that tool. The amount of information you can disable or manipulate to hand to app providers is amazing.

I think Android would have much better cred in the geek community if this was standard, but the legal and business hoops it jumps around and out of make it a pipe dream. I will say when I meet Infosec guys in my area and show them that app, even the iPhone guys are impressed and want to know how to get it if they got Android phones.

What legal and business hoops are you talking about? I can't see any legal problem with Android letting me disable my own permissions...
