total Root/MOD newb...and i want to repurpose an HTC EVO 4g



My youngest son wants an iPod Touch for Christmas - and due to some unfortunate circumstances i just don't have the cash to drop on a device that he may not take care of anyway. He has a Samsung Tab3 7" kids edition (orange one) currently and uses it often but it's not exactly portable and mom is tired of being a sherpa with it in her purse.
I have an old HTC Evo 4g from sprint that I want to turn into a wifi only tablet for the time being. Eventually i may try to get it over to Boost or similar but for now here's where I'm at.
Sprint network flash, current android version 2.3.5, baseband version 2.15.00.01.15, kernal 2.6.35.10-g8b16b68
build 5.07.651.6
software 5.07.651.6
browser WebKit/533.1
no PRI or PRL loaded currently - this phone is deact from sprint when I upgraded the device

Again, i'm an utter newb when it comes to messing with the guts and OS of the phone.
I intend on putting a 32 or 64 Gb SD card in it for him to store apps and photos/music.

I'll use one of the many intermediary apps to allow him to video chat with his buddies who are IOS families (gag...)

can someone please steer me in the right direction to reduce some of this devices functionality and possibly steer me to a functional ROM for what i'm trying to do? I've seen a bunch of ROMs available, but all of the lists fail to mention what funtionality these ROMs represent.

Your help will be much appreciated...
