Thanks for sharing your settings! Speaking of the Tolyan009 build, I'm having an interesting quirk:
With the camera app closed completely, if you launch the camera by double-clicking your power button, "Lens Blur" mode is an option vice "Portrait" mode.

If you have the camera app open in the background (originally opened from the icon thus "Portrait" mode is an option), then you launch the camera by double-clicking your power button, "Portrait" mode is shown, and not "Lens Blur".

So the action of the hardware button launching the camera app makes "Lens Blur" show up. Pretty interesting quirk.

Are your pictures coming out blurred and grainy? (open question to anyone)

I'm getting a what seems like a motion blure and like high iso. Zooming in looks like a low resolution image that was software resampled to a larger size.
Even in direct sunlight!
I was using the latest Arnova8G2 port (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-12-30)) and also noticed pictures coming out grainy (noisy?), even compared with the stock app.

I then used the recently recommended Bulkin043, and have better result. Night Shot, Slow Mo works as well.
Pictures are listed in Arnova --> Stock --> Bulkin

Similar thing happened to me too! In my case I was using 6.1.021.22943556_test1.2 with good results up until a few days ago, when I noticed it seemed to be wildly over-sharpening so that details were entirely lost to noise. I'd previously found this build pretty much unusable without HDR (either flavour). I can't think of anything on my end that would have caused this change in performance.
