Hi Nathan, I'm the maintainer of MobileOrg for Android.   Have you read the
org-mode documentation for MobileOrg?

http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html#MobileOrg

That's a good place to start in figuring out what MobileOrg expects of
org-mode, and also what org-mode expects from MobileOrg.

The synchronization modes refer mostly to where you stage your org-mode
files.   The outline mode will work in the upcoming version of the
application.   You should definitely read the org-mode documentation about
MobileOrg and I think that will give you a pretty good idea of how
synchronization is handled from both sides.
