如何查询Android设备上所有已安装的Apps的权限？

Question

my problem is like this:

I got like 200 Apps installed and made a list of them. Now I want to rate those Apps according to privacy.

All usual tools like F-Secure App Permissions or aSpotCat do help with that, but it's mostly manual labor, because their lists are not exportable. So I would have to transfer the information X_X

I was looking for Apps which could at least generate a list according to a query, but could not find one.

Basically I would like to do this: "which apps on my mobile have NetworkAccess and at least one other PrivacyRElevantPermission?" -> LIST -> EXCEL -> NICE!

My Mobile is not rooted and it shall stay this way. But I have ADB and an Eclipse setup for AndroidDEV. However, I would like to avoid programming an App by my self right now. Right now, I hope someone could say: "This is easy, just get this App or use this command via ADB or just ... " - if not, I guess using aSApotCat will be the easiest way for now.

Thank you guys!

You can do adb pull /data/system/packages.xml to get an XML file with a list of all the intalled apps with their permissions and assorted data. The names of the apps are not listed though, just the package name, but it's usually pretty obvious to guess which app that belongs to. You can then write a simple XML parser to filter out the ones you want to find. You can import this to an Excel spreadsheet if you like.

Edit: It seems that this file is does not have read permissions on some devices.
