Allow brightness control in SOS mode #83

Thanks for this well-designed app!

I can control the brightness of the flash light on my phone, but when I switch to SOS mode it says "Light Level: SOS mode", I cannot control the light level and the light level is fixed at half level, without any clear indication why the light level is not controllable.

I think SOS mode should be at the brightest level possible, that makes more sense to me if you're in an emergency situation.

Perhaps the light level should be controllable and/or set to the maximum by default?

If that is not possible an explanation in the app might be a good addition instead.

Cheers!

Hi Jonas, thanks for your idea.

You are absolutely right. The SOS mode just turns the flashlight on and off, but as many phones don't go full brightness anymore when simply turning it on, I have to manually change the brightness to have the full "SOS effect".

Will be implemented soon when I find time.
