Setup Wizard of OS
summary
Describes a working setup wizard for SumUp Android terminals that replaces the launcher by declaring home intent + priority=1 intent filter and the system-only setup wizard category so it launches at first boot; requires setting device_provisioned / user_setup_complete and disabling the onboarding activity afterwards. Shows practical hacks: using deprecated Wi-Fi manager APIs, creating an extended Android jar from AOSP artifacts to call hidden framework methods, and adding a factory skip; this approach is implemented and used on recent devices.
