[Q] Fasty 2.5 and Captivate Keep alive

[Atlas2008]

So my captivate needs to run captivate keep alive to keep it from powering off during sleep mode. I was curious that if I install Fasty 2.5 (or any other newer roms) will I need to run keep alive still?

I never did have the shutdown issue but I have read many threads from people that have said installing some custom ROMs solved that problem.

The random shutdown problem is thought to have been caused by faulty memory. If various roms use memory in different ways, one rom may avoid a faulty address space, where another rom may not. That would account for a particular rom apparently solving the problem.

My first captivate had the random shutdown issue. I kept it for around three months after the problem first showed up, trying various things to see if I could fix it, including installing several roms, but nothing I did ever solved the problem. I eventually had it replaced under warranty. The new phone has been golden, for about 7 months now.
