Pixel Setup
Advanced: com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard Advanced Community evidence
The Pixel-specific setup screens that run alongside Android Setup on first boot and after a factory reset. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.
What it does
Pixel Setup is the Pixel-specific part of the first-run setup flow, working alongside Google's general Android Setup wizard. It shows the steps unique to Pixel phones during setup and is idle once setup is finished. Google has not documented it separately.
If you disable it
Nothing in normal use, but community testers report that the Google Play system update screen stops opening while it is disabled. A factory reset restores it.
How to disable it
On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.
Disable it (reversible)
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.pixel.setupwizardTurn it back on
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.pixel.setupwizardThe stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.
Uninstall for the main user
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.pixel.setupwizardRestore after an uninstall
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.pixel.setupwizardNew to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
Data and battery
