If the idle was fine for two days, I don't think that it depends on the cam not lining up.
But you can try to move the cam one tooth on cam sprocket, so it gets to be 1/2 tooth advanced instead?

I think it's easier to use the one on the other side when I have the bike on the side stand.
All oils drains out easily and there's no "getting hands full of oil" or any other mess...

If you buy Titanium valve springs, check that they are made of Titanium and they should also weigh less than the original valve springs.
I ordered NYC Titanium valve springs and when I got I took a magnet to check if they were magnetic and how much they weigh.
The valve springs I got were both magnetic and they weigh more than the original valve springs. Which means they are not proper titanium valve springs. Titanium is not magnetic and should weigh less than steel!
I dont think that there exist any anodized springs made of proper titanium. Titanium is a very active metal which cannot be electroplated!

Does your scoot have many miles?
I suspect that the smoke is the result of bad piston rings, which causes "Blow by" in the cylinder and that the pressure from the crankcase goes out through the vent tube. If you remove the dipstick when it's ideling it should come smoke there too.
It can also leak oil through the valve seats...
The oil that comes up through the vent tube is discolored. But I haven't seen it being as white as it in your picture before...
If it's water in the oil you'll see that when you change the oil. It will be "light brownish-white" and not black which is normal...
As long as you have that smoke coming through the vent tube the engine will feel slow and without power.
It's not getting air as it should, it's sucking in that fume through the carb.

After aligning the flywheel with the T-mark. Remove the spark plug and check that the piston is at TDC (Top Dead Center).
When the piston is at TDC the holes on the cam should also align.
When both above are aligned properly that's when you adjust the valeves.

Cylinder and head gaskets.
I would also do an oil change while I'm at it.
