I've made a small application which adds a group of contacts as recipients to the existing messaging application. If you start the application from the start menu it will create a new SMS message for you. If you start it from the messaging menu it will update the already created SMS message. This makes it possible to forward received messages to a group.
As this is an extension of the original messaging application, all messages will be saved in the Sent Items folder.
Changelog and more information can be found at my website: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
The application will run on both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones with Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. Never tested on older devices, so it might work on them too
It supports MUI and can easily be translated to any language. Currently english and norwegian is supported.
Please give me feedback if you experience any problems.
To download, please visit my homepage at: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms

GREAT!
works like a charm!THX!
dis application is much better, starts faster than the one other thread
Hi,
I'm still using version 1.3. I don't know if you remember my mail from then.
This is a part of it:
"Do you think it’s possible to add a group of contacts that’s in my SIM-list?
I mean, if I select the box All Contacts, only the contacts saved in Outlook are visible, not the ones on my SIM-card.
If not I can always save all my SIM-contacts to the Contacts in Outlook, but then my contact list is growing so big and a lot of double phone numbers are showing up."
MANY THNX to you
really this GROUP SMS is come to solve a big problem in PPC which is sending message to more than one.
NOW by using you GROUP SMS i can remove other silly program that try to send to many but big , not embeded in the options of message like yours
thnx again and again

make sure that there is at least one groupe (catergory)
Group SMS can't add a group at the moment. It can only read the Outlook categories. I will probably implement functionallity to add, remove and edit groups in a later release.
I recommend you all to upgrade to version 1.4.1. Some users found a small bug when contacts are member of more then one group. I forgot to reset a string before I used it again and this can cause the application to show a group multiple times with some strange characters.
The new cab file can be found in the first post of this thread.

I gave this app a try. First thing I noticed is that it wiped out the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions. Unfortunately, these two options are much more useful than a group sms. Great work anyway and maybe you can find a compromise.
I will certainly look into that! Which device are you running on? Is the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions a part of the ROM or have you installed it?
Nice app.
thank you
thank you very much for this app!!! i was looking for this for decades!!! great work dude!

I have
htc p3300
with B&B 3.7
and net V2 installed.
I have more than 1500 contacts divided in 10 categories.
when I try to use groupsms I get the first screen with preselection of groups (cateories)
I do chech one or various, then next.
Some seconds later I get just one, two and mostly nothing of contacts to check.
Where the problem comes from?
I used it with just one category and 200 contacts and haddn´t any problem ( has the program mem limitations?
Thank you for your great job
Hello guys,
I am currently using CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG by Grif_07.
The most important thing missing in this great ROM is "grouping" contacts!
I am a text geek and I send around 100+ SMS daily to my friend circle. I foreword SMS to my friends which I group according to my convenience. I was doing this with my Gingerbread unrooted SGA. But now I have rooted my phone and installed most amazing ROM but it's lagging this extremely important basic feature. I did search and found that CaynogenMod officially not having this feature and can't found any patch for this. I used GO SMS pro but failed to create any group. It shows group tab but not allowing me to add any contact to the groups. I also used Handcent sms app. It is allowing me to creat group but after creating a group it do not allow editing group. So all we have to rebuild the group which is pathetic.
So is there any solution to my problem? Any app or patch to enable grouping feature to send group sms?
Waiting for your reply,
Regards,
Adwait
I'm a Newbie on Android/Custom ROMs and after testing is over I would like to use a CustomROM (CM, crdroid, etc.) together with DAVdroid to sync my contacts with ownCloud. Just from the moment when I received my second cell phone (Siemens) decades ago I loved the feature to assign custom ringtones to groups of contacts.
I really miss this type of feature on Android and it seems neither stock nor CustomROMs include this. I found one 2011 app here (WhoIsIt Lite) that seems abandoned and incompatible with KitKat. In Google Play I did find one app: Group Ringtones, which does the basic job, by writing the selected ringtone for all group members. But when a new group member gets created after, he does not receive the group ringtone as long as the process is not repeated afaik.
Is there any such group ringtone function integrated in a CustomROM or a more comprehensive app (custom notifications etc., ringtones/profiles connected to calendar events)?

Hello fellow android lovers,
I have been searching for a way to group my contacts and be able to use them in multiple apps.
For example, I would like to be able to text, mail, messenger app (facebook) buddies in groups just in a few taps.
I have a galax s5 and mailen, texting groups is possible when making group in contacts app. I would also like to use the same groups in messenger (facebook), viber...
Does anyone know an app wo can join all these platforms. I realize that this is probably not possible with an app, maybe a custom rom?
Let me know what u guys use :highfive:

Open app contacts, press menu and create new label under "Labels". Then you can add existing contacts to this "group".
