If you are a technology fan you may have heard about Wizard. This is a setup app that can be found on Android phones, whose purpose is to help the user manage the applications that are held on the device. Still, it has a lot more functions that we will talk about later in this post, along with a quick summary of what it actually is, how you can use it, and more.
Wizard has a direct relationship with Read-Only Memory (ROM) which is the electronic storage built into a device during manufacturing. ROM is available in many other gadgets, including computers, game consoles, and even car radios in the form of a chip. These chips are built into an external unit, and they are responsible for the correct and smooth function of the device.
Now, what is the connection between ROM and Wizard? this app will let you install a custom ROM on your device and restore the data on your phone as it was coming from the manufacturer. As we mentioned before, there are a lot of features that come with Wizard, including:
- Access to the same profile on multiple devices.
- Categorize and manage your apps.
- Restore previous apps that you had on an old Android phone.
Tip: most of these features will be only available if you have the premium version of Wizard, so you may want to check which one you want to use before getting the subscription.
How to Install Setup Wizard on Android?
Setup Wizard is a built-up app on Android, this means the app is automatically installed when the device is set up by the manufacturer. You don’t need to install it by yourself.
Features of Setup Wizard
Wizard’s main purpose is to assist Android users when they have to first set up their phones, especially if they want to transfer old data, such as apps, pictures, and personalized features, from their previous phone. It helps to send the backup information from the apps that are currently installed.

- You can either enter with a pre-existing account or create a new one.
- Select a password for your account, and your Samsung account will be settled.

How to Skip the Google Setup Wizard?
There is no way you can skip the Google setup on Wizard unless you are using the Honeywell provisioner. This means that there are only a small number of Android phones with certain mobility hardware. If your phone has one of the next operating systems, you will be able to skip it:
- 75e Android
- CT50 Android
- CT60 Android
- CN51 Android
- CN75
- CK75
- EDA50
- Android 4.x
- Android 6.x
- Android 7.x
Now, if your phone is part of that list, you can try following the next steps:
- You will need to use a PC for mobility.
- Now open the applicable DeviceConfig.xml, which you have to get from your device before the setup.
- Set the required parameters at 0, which include Other settings, and then Google starts up Wizard.
- Download the code that is on File 1.
- Scan the previous barcode.
- Then save Deviceconfig.xml in IPSM/Honeywell and persist in activating the settings.
- Your device will now show up as ‘Desktop’.
- The Google setup Wizard will be skipped as the Deviceconfig.xml is stored in IPSM/Honeywell and the phone is experiencing a factory reset.
Tip: After the Factory Reset during the standard setup, some new prompts will be answered, you can have an easy way out following the next steps:
- Press start on the language screen.
- On the WiFi screen select Skip, confirm by tapping on skip anyway
- Then it will appear a Google & location screen, which you can pass by tapping two times on the right arrow.
- On the next page, Data & time, you can press the right arrow as well.
- Skip the This device belongs to… screen by clicking on the right arrow.
- On the last screen named Google Services tap on the right arrow and end by clicking on Finish.
