I need to bypass the setup wizard on my Nexus 5 running 4.4 only using ADB as my digitizer and screen are broken. I just want to find the Setup Wizard app and remove it via ADB. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can manually disable the setup wizard on the device. From Android Setup > Apps & Notifications. Search for All apps and show System apps (hidden by default). Select and disable Android Setup.
If you want to exit the Setup Wizard, click Exit. If the configuration is correct, click Finish to apply the settings and complete the Setup Wizard configuration.
A setup wizard is a tool that is installed in the android phone to help the user to manage applications. The setup wizard performs various functions. The primary purpose of the setup wizard that has a premium license is to allow the user to restore previous applications on a new phone.
The wizard is inside the "GoogleServiceFramework.apk", in the system/app folder. You need to root and remount your system to rw to delete the apk. But after you delete it, you cannot use any Goolge service.
However, the mechanism behind this setup wizard is simple. It just declares that it is also a "HOME" application with priority=2. So you can just use package manager (pm) on adb shell to disable the wizard start up activity. Then you can see the normal home application directly.
