Can't really customize the lock screen on Samsung's touchwiz. You can disable the ripple effect in settings>security>lockscreen.. can't remember the exact location of it.. but it's in security options. You can also edit the shortcuts on the lockscreen, add a weather widget, etc.,
Is there anyway to use a jellybean unlock theme?
You can search play store for lockscreen apps like widgetlocker, lockbot, etc...

In ICS 4 shortcuts are the max you can add and in JB it's 5.
Go to settings>Security>Lock screen Options> click on shortcuts.

After trying so many apps I found those apps which are best replacement for Samsung Galaxy Y built-in boring lockscreen.
The main thing is that some of them on Google PlayStore says that it is not supported by Galaxy Y, but I don't know why!
For example "Go Locker", Android Google PlayStore says it is not compatible, but I have tried it and works great.
I have also tried "MiLocker", its themes are not supported by our resolution.
Though you can use it by LDPI themes.
Now my question is if the "MiLocker" says supported why not "Go Locker"!
Anyway, the lockscreens those are working with Galaxy Y are as follows:
1. WidgetLocker Lockscreen (Recommended) (Paid)
2. GO Locker (Free)
3. Holo Locker (Free)
4. MagicLocker Main (Free)
5. MiLocker (For LDPI themes visit here.) (Free)
If you find your stock ROM lockscreen appearing/interfering your lockscreen apps then install "No Lock" app from Google PlayStore via following link.
No Lock Google PlayStore Link.
From this little app you can Disable Stock ROM LockScreen.
That is all I could find. If you think I missed something, feel free to comment here!

You can always Enable Notification bar by Uncheck (Disable) these:
"Disable Notification bar" option in "Buttons & Inputs" setting and "Hide Notification Bar" option in "Look & Feel" Setting.

If you are want to be secured then use built in pattern lock.
Or If you want to control your fav apps like music player, facebook, weather etc from lockscreen then use Widgetlocker or you can customize as you wish. A nice Clock and weather widget on lockscreen looks great if you ask me.
Or If you want to be Secured and as well as want a lockscreen as per your customized way then use Widgetlocker and Pattern Lock both! as they could be used at a same time..
Hope this post help you guys.

You can use MiLocker.
I think it is most lightweight than others, I never compare the RAM usages though!
But you must install LDPI themes (which are small in number but various in design) for that. Take a look at my first post for link.

widget locker's notification is based on ADWNotifier so you have to install that before you could have notifications on your widget locker... with the popup on the default stock messaging app, it does not support popup
can anyone send me a link for the golocker app please?

Is there any way to freeze/ uninstall the stock lock screen app ? It always interferes with my locker. If yes, do tell me the stock lock app. Thanks.

The stock lock screen is honestly pretty terrible. Laggy and pretty featureless. I've tried a few things from the Market, but as soon as I restart the phone I end up with two lock screens. Any leads?

It seems to depends on the theme. Also, almost everything's in Chinese. I like it a lot after a few edits, now I just gotta get media controls on the lock screen.

Yes the.lock screen is pretty horrible. For now I have just disabled it completely and I think I'll keep it that way for a while pretty nice

what do you mean?
Mine works just fine.....if your talking about the actually locks, you can long press on the locks and resize them. you have to be in widget locker to do it, you can't just do it from the lock screen.
so go to app drawer and open widget locker, long press on lock, resize
Im not a huge fan of alot of stuff on my lock or home screen, so for me the great alternative lock for me was sign2unlock.

The good thing about Widgetlocker is that it can be tweaked to have as little (or as much) as someone wants.

I'm looking for a way to remove or disable the default lockscreen from the stock rom. I have to slide from left to right and after that my pattern lock screen, which is kind of annoying.
Only want the pattern lockscreen.
Any ideas?
Not sure if this helps, but you can always try, can't you
(can't post links yet -_-) Search in the play store for GO Locker

Does it work for you? I have the same problem with it as with the QuickPanel.
Is there any lockscreen application that would have patter lockscreen option which would not cause double lockscreen behaviour (pattern+slide)?

Yep. I was using it before. But I've switched to CM. So gave it up. If I remember correctly , it has gesture unlock and stuff. But it needs go launcher to function. (just have it installed)
LIFE! It's what you make out of it!
@lifehacker, thanks. Actually, Pro version works with any launcher.
I just wish there was a lockscreen with pattern and agenda/unread sms/calls info like in Sense 4.1

There are many lockers in play Store. Try it yourself.
I found locker pro . It shows the unread notifications and stuff. But it doesn't come with a pattern lock though.
There are pros and cons in every app. Get the one which suits you.

How do you make it so that you can have the same animated background on the lockscreen as the homescreen?

I use dynamicnotifications from the play store. It has a option to use the home screen wallpaper as the lockscreen wallpaper. So just set a live wallpaper on your home screen and it will show up on the lockscreen also. FYI only the paid version allows you to use that option. It cost me 1.99usd
