so the thing is I'm using .htaccess to hide the index.php but I still get the controller name in the url like that: http://example.com/name_controller/about My question is: is it possible to hide the name of the controller, so that only method is shown? hxxp://example.com/name_controller/about

You can define a custom route in config/routes.php - for example:
$route['about'] = 'name_controller/about';
Then, http://example.com/about
goes to http://example.com/name_controller/about
See Hiding the controller’s method name in the URL? in the CI forums for more information.

Is this required to be done for all the pages, there isn't any automated solution which will apply the rule to all the routes by default?
You can add an entry in the /system/application/config/routes.php file:
$route['about'] = "controller_name/about";
Comments
$route['default_controller'] = "xxx";
home
$route['home'] = "xxx/home";
function_name/parameter0/parameter1/parameter2
$route['Collection/(:any)'] = "xxx/Collection/$1";

I did it like this: (config/routes.php)
Code: $route['((photos|blogs).+)'] = "$1";
$route['([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)'] = "user/profile/$1";
it is ok correct solutions for common.

please try to clarify the last phrase, it sounds very unclear
You can add below code in the /application/config/routes.php file:
$route['default_controller'] = "Home";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
$route['(?i)about'] = "Home/about";
$route['(?i)login'] = "Home/Login";
$route['(?i)products'] = "ProductController/ProductList";
$route['(?i)addproduct'] = "ProductController/AddProduct";
$route['(?i)editproduct'] = "ProductController/EditProduct";
$route['(?i)products/(:any)'] = "ProductController/ProductList/$1";//search product list perameters.
100% It work..
