I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and I'd like to know if I can replace the default login screen (Light-DM) for the one used on ELementary OS (Phantheon Greeter). If possible without installing the rest of the Elementary OS desktop.

Yes, you only need to Install pantheon-greeter and change the LightDM conf file like so:
To get
pantheon-greeteryou'll need to add this PPA, open a terminal and type:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pantheon-greeter elementary-theme fonts-open-sans-elementary fonts-raleway-elementary- Then open gedit as root, type
gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - Change the line greeter-session= to look like this
greeter-session=pantheon-greeter - Log out

@Uri; I installed the package successfully, but the login screen looks way different from the image above (see here goo.gl/kP9aG). Can I fix it? Feb 17, 2013 at 23:03

2Alright, install these packages and log out and check if it looks correctly now:

I have done what was recommended. I have added greeter-session=pantheon-greeter, but ubuntu is still booting into unity, and not greeter. I have restarted the machine too. Kindly suggest. Aug 24, 2013 at 0:39
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
Everyone is right but! Think it may be better to stay w/ Stable
