I got that same problem. Have you tried to restore and rejaiblreak?

launch redsn0w agan and use the "just boot teathered option" to get cydia back up again.
You'll have to do this everytime you reboot your iPod Touch, as it is a teathered jailbreak.

ok i'll try jailbreaking again an doing that again. Also, one of the times I tried it, the Cydia icon was white, even though i boot tethered. does this mean anything?

Run Redsn0w. Select "Extras", followed by "Select IPSW", and point it to the iOS 5.0 firmware file. then boot tethered following instruction

There was a recent leak of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0 If I were you, I'd just wait until this exploit gets released. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/09/untethered-jailbreak-for-ios-5-0-gets-showcased-on-youtube/

How much memory is required to jailbreak? I have about 500mb left.

If you have installed OpenSHSH, you can SHSH our device and delete the 2 themes. (/var/stash/Themes.xxxx)

rejailbreak? but with a different tool (if possible)

but can you help with Cydia sources?

If you rejailbreak it re-installs cydia which should fix the issue.
