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!

I prefer inbuilt pattern lock as Go Locker doesn't seems to be convenient
will try WidgetLocker Lockscreen as recommended in first post may be that can be my replacement for pattern lock

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?
My backup.
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.

Sure. I forgot to mention that these widgets (at least the weather widget) will not work on GB roms. They were lifted out of Asus tablets which came with HC but will work just fine with ICS roms.
If you have GB rom. You can stop here and decide if these widgets are worth awhile for you to upgrade.
If you have ICS you can read on.
First, you need to get a root explorer app. I use the RootExplorer but any app that will let you access root folders will do.
Move the weather and deskclock apks to /system/app folder. There should already be a deskclock.apk in there so you will want to either make a copy to another location (for safe keeping) or just rename the one that is in there as deskclock.apk.tmp. Now move the new apks into this folder.
Next thing you need to do is to change the permissions of these newly placed apks. You need to set them rw_r__r__ (r_read, w=write)
Reboot and now you should see the weather and deskclock widgets as selectable widgets.
Enjoy.

Hit the menu button while in the editor and go to settings; there you will find the option to either enter your location (ex. Los Angeles, CA), or use auto detection of location. Hope that is what you were looking for!

Try Make Your Clock Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock.pro and tailor clock widget that 100% meets your needs.
Free version (with less elements) is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
More info about app at http://www.makeyourclock.com/
Comparing to UCCW it consumes less battery and some people find it's interface more intuitive than in UCCW.
I have the samsung Galaxy player 5.0 as well and I use Beautiful Widgets this is a paid ( 2 bucks ) widget but well worth it. They have also added a web site so you can customize your own clock style and background for your widget.
Yeah, get Beautiful Widgets, find a good clock skin, make it's background transparent, use the battery instead of the weather icon (you can still check weather by clicking on the widget), enjoy.

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.

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.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget
Pop up widget. Don't know if I'll use this for ever but I'm enjoying it right now.
In essence it allows you to put shortcuts to widgets on it your home screen. When selected the widget appears with an attractive animation.
I have gone from six screens to one thanks to this app.
In theory it should mean that your device has more free memory and probably better battery.
